Yes, I meant to follow up. I was very impressed with how compatible they are.
The 6x12 piece is as thick as 2 plates. I was surprised to see them on
clearance so soon, grabbed a bunch for Christmas presents. (It'll be a big year
for clones for us this year,the boys are going nuts for the MB dragons &
knights stuff.)
John mentioned Lego had something similar awhile back, maybe the designer over
at Ertl is an AFOL? It'll be interesting to see if they produce any more clone
stuff.
