Hi!
I know of one other clone brand that no one has mentioned yet. It is called
PixelBlocks. They are 1x1 translucent bricks that connect like LEGO bricks on
the top and bottom but can also connect on the sides. They come in 20 different
translucent colors. I have just recently made a mosaic of my store sign and it
looks cool! I have also made some manga type animals and tops. They are fun and
once you get the hang of them easy to work with. I will post pictures when I can
of my sign. You can check them out at www.pixelblocks.com and I also sell them
on my site at www.billsbricks.com

I saw the C3 from Art Asylum at Toy Fair in February. They look really cool. The
Mini-Mates that come with them are slightly redesigned from the regular ones
primarily in the hands and feet. I think they should appeal to the younger crowd
and Comic collectors. They are done much better than the Marvel ones out there
now.
