I remember that brand, but I've never seen it in real life. I suppose it
couldn't have done too well, judging by its disappearance!

Wow, that's a great find!
My first exposure to any compatible clone brand (i.e., not Tente) was the
MEGABLOKS Brontosaurus set from about 1993, half a decade after this catalog.
It's really cool to see this ancient stuff; thanks for sharing!
Dave!
