(...) I am not familiar with this brand... could you set me up with a link to check this stuff out. I am currently trying to get a hold of some more Oxford military sets. I have several from my time in Korea. Having recently taken them out and (...) (20 years ago, 9-Oct-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

I almost hate to give up my source, but I've recently been able to purchase MISB sets of Brick's Century Miltary series. This is an overseas eBay source, but I have been able to get additional sets added to my eBay order. I felt that this way I (...) (20 years ago, 9-Oct-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) Now that you mention it, I seem to recall a weird residue or film on the bricks in sets I bought in 1999, but I don't think it colored my hands in any noticeable way. Maybe rather than mold, the substance was mold-release? (...) I've found (...) (20 years ago, 6-Oct-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) 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)

A key part of ESPG is that all minifigs have to be attached to the ship (well they technically don't have to but they fall off easily if they are not, and that means they are "in the (...)

(...) I have the $20 Best-Lock pirate ship (the regular, not skeletal one) sitting on a shelf. The Short Review: Ain't as good as LEGO. The figs can be tossed. The cannon mountings are excreble.

(...) I'm surprised that you classify Tyco as terrible, since many people regard it as the best of the clone brands. In my view, Oxford, BTR, Qubo, Byggis, and Tyco are all of excellent quality, on par with The Canonical Brand. (...) "Good" is a (...) (20 years ago, 6-Oct-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

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 (...) (20 years ago, 6-Oct-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
