Not my auctions, and I won't be bidding: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3122448680&category=19015 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3122449858&category=19000 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3122450596&category=19000 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3122451495&category=1186 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3122446340&category=1186 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3121031512&category=19011 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3121043261&category=19011 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3121043283&category=19011 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3121043304&category=19011 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3121043335&category=19011 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3121043361&category=19011 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3121241813&category=19011 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3121241843&category=19011 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3121241892&category=19011 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3121241992&category=19011 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3121242002&category=19011 I offer these with caution, because they include quite a few of the parts that likely caused the recent patent infringement lawsuits in China. Note that the sellers are located in Hong Kong, so shipping/insurance may be a bit more pricey. Recently I snagged one like this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3122447336&category=19000 and I have to say that it wasn't entirely awful. Not bad plastic quality, but the mold tolerances weren't great, so the bricks have quite a bit of wiggle room. Some of the parts are near-exact copies of LEGO parts, but others, such as the body-shield and the small (like 1x4) banners are similar but definitely different, so much so that they couldn't simply have been molded from the original parts. And the minifigs are different (and of lesser quality) too. Some cool chrome parts, though, for anyone addicited to shiny things. Dave!

(...) I liked this one: (URL) the item, really, but the description: "LEGO Compatible 0029 Horrendous Castle Set" Who markets their auction as "Horrendous"? :) DaveE (22 years ago, 18-Mar-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
