Arguably (not that I like to argue or anything... :-) ) it doesn't belong there either. Overall TOS say that trade related stuff is not welcome in any group that doesn't explicitly allow it. So we may need an off-topic.clone.market group or (...) (25 years ago, 2-Feb-00, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

I'm worried. I got a look at a new bucket of Mega Bloks in pastel--and it happened to be open, so I played with a few of the bloc^Hks. They stay together remarkably well, and actually look pretty uniform in colour. On the other hand, the price of (...) (25 years ago, 1-Feb-00, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
