(...) 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 (...) (17 years ago, 16-Feb-08, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)

(...) Holy moley! Where were you six years ago when I needed you? Anyway, I love how you worked this out. I've never before thought of using one brand as a bridge between two others in this way. Very cool! Dave! (17 years ago, 15-Feb-08, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) Strangely enough while brix blox don't lock with lego, they do lock with classic style best lock, which in turn locks fine with lego. Thus if you want to build a wall using perspective, you can do the lower courses in brix blox, run a layer of (...) (17 years ago, 30-Jan-08, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

Anyone out there familiar with another lego clone, snap blocks? I've got a large mixed bulk set coming my way with at least one snap block set, looks like a creator style lego helicopter. Any info welcome. (17 years ago, 11-Jan-08, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

Is anyone out here familiar with the Toppo brand of clones? I have recently come into the possession of quite a few slopes by this company...they are fully compatible with old style best-lock, which means their studs will accomodate lego system (...)

(...) 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)

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)

(...) LEGO is of superior quality only as it pertains to the actual plastic stock, and this is becoming less true with each passing year. The main reason that I buy clones is because of the set designs and the alternative part inventories. (...) (...) (17 years ago, 29-Oct-07, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)
