have you tried any clones at all?
i don't mind a clone once in a while, i mainly buy them for the models (military
assortment, and good amount of bricks for the price) and i don't mix them with
other brands (just my personal preference).
the bestlock stuff has definitely improved over the last few years with better
plastic, brick design and plates are the same size as lego plates (if you're a
brand-mixer).
what sort of clones are available in germany?
