What’s the allure?
Can we all agree that LEGO is superior in quality? If so, why buy clones?
Is it simply a price issue? If LEGO were cheaper would you still buy clones?
Is it that you have something against TLG the company?
Is it something else I’ve missed?
Help this “purist” understand your strange ways.

| Hello John, (...) I stand with some of the other respondents; cool themes, interesting solutions (elements) for building. There is one thing that others who have responded haven't addressed, that the other block companies are just as ridged in their (...) (17 years ago, 30-Oct-07, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)

| (...) If asked 3 years ago, I would have agreed, but with the recent TLG production outsourcing, I've had too many bad experiences with regards to colour to find LEGO superior. Whereas most clones are of poor quality, some are catching up and are at (...) (17 years ago, 4-Dec-07, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)
