Does anyone know the brand of these non-compatible LEGO-style castle bricks? They are 60% larger in the x- and z directions, and 33.3% higher. (URL) are not really rare at Swedish flee markets. I think I've seen them at eBay some time, too. Thanks, (...) (22 years ago, 5-Feb-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

I picked up an assortment at a dollar store in guelph last spring as well. As (...) (22 years ago, 2-Feb-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, lugnet.loc.ca.bc.van)

(...) I'd really like to find these sets, so forgive my ignorant question: Is this Dollar Store part of a chain or franchise? I don't think we have a store here (I'm in Thunder Bay, Ontario) called "Dollar Store" though we do have many dollar (...)

In the set it is transparent red. (22 years ago, 1-Feb-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, lugnet.loc.ca.bc.van)

Upon my entrance to the Toy aisle, I immediately look at a lower shelf and see Pirate (...) (22 years ago, 1-Feb-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, lugnet.loc.ca.bc.van)

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)
