Hey All,
Did anyone hear about all the “copies” of lego products? TLC posted this
on the 14th http://www.lego.com/eng/info/default.asp?page=pressdetail
This article tells about many of the “copies” that other companies makes.

Err - did my post from yesterday get pulled, or just lost? I was wondering
what the problem with the “Best-Lock” JCB was - I’ve seen them in the UK,
and they don’t appear to clone either a specific Lego set or recent
elements. It has a lot of custom elements in it instead.

Hi Jason:
Best-Lock caused quite a stir
when it hit the fan on RTL a few years ago, largely because of initial
perceptions that the Best-Lock minifigs were so similar to LEGO. As it
turned out, they were rather different, as were the bricks, but the brouhaha
was fun while it lasted. ...

That’s true - I remember seeing those other sets around too. Although they look
like Lego themes, they’re not copies of specific sets. I seem to remember
spotting that the 1x1 bricks are cubes too.
So, why are Lego parading it as an illegal pirate product?
