I am in the position to pick up a full pirate ship with a lot of pieces for only $20. But, it is a Best Lock brand set, and I am very wary of incorporating an unknown clone brand in with my Legos. I know for a fact that BTR and Oxford are absolutely awesome in their compatability with Lego and have never failed me through thousands of pieces. However, Tyco and Megablocks are terrible in the fact that those pieces are pretty much random in how they connect, both with themselves and with Lego. I won't be burnt by Megablocks again. That being said, I do not want to be burnt by another piss poor quality clone brand that fails to connect together to itself or to other brands. So, is Best Lock any good? Or, should I stay far away from that brand? Looking for help from my fellow AFOLs, Avery

The bowsprit is wobbley. The half-height bricks make (...) (20 years ago, 6-Oct-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, lugnet.pirates)

		Re: Question about quality of Best Lock...
(...) I'd agree with Dave! If you hate Tyco and MegaBloks, you'll hate Best-Lock even more (And again, I also have to admit I've always been impressed with the quality of the limited amount of Tyco Super-Blocks that I've been exposed to). One thing (...) (20 years ago, 6-Oct-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
