Yeah, that you don’t have to love clones to buy them. I buy a lot of clones
out of curiosity, and have Canadian, Chinese, Korean, Italian, Dutch, East
German, Swedish and even Danish clones or competitors. But I never mix any
brands when I am building MOCs.

Help this “purist” understand your strange ways.

Purism, fanatism - not words in my dictionary (maybe because my dictionary is

I second most of Arne’s opions, especially about curiousity. But still I’m some
kind of purist, but not all the way. Yes, it’s contradictional, just like I am.
The Purist in me states: “Thou shalt not hack LEGO!”. So I use clones for
Milliput heads and experimenting on building in micro switches and LED:s. But
then the infidels in me can build in LED:s and switches in real LEGO if I’ve
found a good method while testing on clones.
Does that make sense? I don’t know. But that’s how I reason anyway.
Both me and TLG owes a clone brand thanks, because the very low bulk price was
the reason I left my dark ages. Quite soon after I bought two or three clone
buckets, I began to buy original LEGO that I doubt I would have bought without
the clones first.
