(...) It is a neat ad. Hey, I got an idea! How about TLC (TLG, LG, LC) buys them out secretly, gets the quality up to LEGO standards, and then sells it!

(...) It's even cheaper than that--most Best-Lock Militech sets are on clearance at Target across the US--right now at the 40% off plateau, and still numerous. I may buy some when it hits 80%. best, Lindsay (25 years ago, 28-Dec-99, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

| | Zome, a cool building toy
|
|
My son got a small set of a toy called Zome (sometimes Zometool or Zome System). It is *not* a LEGO clone, it's a ball-and-stick construction system. The entire system is built around the golden mean, with some very cool results. And the pieces are (...) (25 years ago, 22-Dec-99, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) I'd say, brickwise, Tyco's biggest problem is they didn't round off the edges of the bricks. You thought it hurt to step on *LEGO* bricks? Those Tyco pieces were doubly painful. Also, the lack of rounding made it hard to pry the pieces apart. (...) (25 years ago, 29-Nov-99, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw, lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
