i gotta shout about these: (URL) just got mine and they are EXCELLENT. brick sheen/clutch power (think tyco superblocks quality) is just as good as lego and the designs are probably something we'll never see from denmark. the seller is reliable and (...)

BestLock are sometimes found in discount stores, but they are usually older sets of poor quality - hence my hesitant expectations with regard to quality (in material) of newer sets. I do own (...)

Looks like BestLock are trying to fill a gap here - Playmobil is somewhat successful with their Romans theme, but there hasn't been anything alike in the brick scene. I've become somewhat hesitant w/regard to clone brands over the years - they (...) (16 years ago, 10-Jul-08, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
