I over-stated the apparent duplication of parts in the Wal*Mart set; several distinctive pieces are very similar but are undeniably different enough not to have come from direct copies of molds.

This set is definitly a Coko set. I have enough Coko to match these bricks and the minifigs against. Coko 100%... Instructions Coko style too. I also would like to see Coko developing sets again for the US market... Even if it is through Wal-Mart. (...) (22 years ago, 14-Jan-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

Price: $9.99 at Target Pieces: 95 Minifigs: 1 Aliens: 1 Disclaimer: Just bought it during my lunch hour; haven't had time to build it yet. Overall impression: Not a bad little set.
