(...) Hmm. I'm beginning to think that Coko has suffered wide swings in quality during its various incarnations. I have a complete pastel castle (pastle? castel?) set and a basic "universal" building set, and both are of quite high quality, at least (...)

For those who have never used Coko, I found it to be awful! I (...) (21 years ago, 6-Sep-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

Once I've got them properly laid out and have them mated to each other, they're rather solid -- it seems to be a matter of making sure enough studs are devoted to the joints, and that's a simple enough adjustment -- well (...)

My local Target has the MEGABLOKS Power Rangers "Zord" sets on sale for $5.50, down from $7.99, so I bought the Dolphin Zord.

Hi, I saw advertisement of BetterBlocks™ 1375 Combo Kit, which is similar to LEGO, but the units are round on QVCUK.com, some time ago (y.2000).
