Uh, wouldn’t that sorta rule out the real LEGO system? Shortswords haven’t
been made in ABS for years, and I don’t believe the minesweeper or
cutlass/sabre ever were. The huge axe and katana never were, and the
whip/vine would probably arrive damaged in many sets if it was. Or do you
allow for some accessories to be made from non-ABS plastic as long as the
majority of them are?

Hmm... I see you have a point there. So I guess what I really mean is as long as
the accessories don’t look out of place in the hands of a Lego minifig
(relatively speaking), I’d consider them a clone brand which I defined by
companies that are dedicated to making products that are compatible with the
Lego universe.
I think Dave’s 2x4 brick classification is a good one, too. But I’ve always been
more interested in minifigs & accessories from different brands than the actual
bricks themselves, so my way of classification is more geared towards that, I
guess. But good topic nonetheless :)

| (...) Hey, I hadn't thought of that. That also rules out Oxford and Coko, but it may rule-in Stikfas, which are entirely non-compatible, other than their accessories. I stand by my 2x4 brick distintion! Dave! (20 years ago, 15-Sep-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)
