(...) That's the big question. The brands have enough overlap of distinctive elements to make me think that, at the very least, the brands have access to the same molds. Blok-Tek (aka Brik-o, I believe) also shows some of the same parts. In (...) (22 years ago, 21-Oct-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) Here you go: (URL) parts all appeared in the 15000 Tank set, along with a sort of cloverleaf turntable top, a 2x2 plate corner, and several 6x8 plates. The latter two are already modelled, but I'm still polishing off the turntable. There are (...) (22 years ago, 22-Oct-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) great, as do the grooved bricks. Aren't those grooved bricks almost identical to something some trainheads customized from regular bricks? I assume the main utility of the plates Tore wanted are as some kind of rotating attachment points. Is (...) (22 years ago, 22-Oct-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) I should have shown the underside of the cover, since it has three studs like a 2x4 plate. The brick in the front left corner is a '2x2 slope 45 inverted' with four grooves and a "stepped" body style. This already appears in the clone library (...)

(...) I wonder--since these parts still have the official LEGO logo on the studs, would they even have a place in a clones DB? You've mentioned previously a possible library of dats based on user-modified elements; perhaps Tony's bricks would fit in (...)

(...) I'm wondering why this leaked over into .trains... I would say that if there are only 2 bins, "official LEGO(r) parts", and "everything else" these parts belong in the "everything else" bin. But the better solution is a different bin (library) (...) (22 years ago, 22-Oct-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, lugnet.trains, lugnet.cad)
