<<Shocked>> Wow! This is the very first time I see best-lock sets. They are
astonishing! Why can't TLG make sets like these? The detail on some ofe their
tanks are great. Both playvalue and building possibilities.
I want those! Can I buy these online, or is there a store in the Netherlands
that sells these sets?
Thanks for the link. I bookmarked it immediately.

Before getting to excited, not that the quality is no where near as good as
that of LEGO. The plastic quality if pretty good, but the sets do not stay
together very well, because the bricks don't have tubes like LEGO. Though they
are great designs. Some of it reminds me of LEGO from the 1970s.

I've never come accross Best-Lock before and I'm stunned. The comments posted
regarding quality are a real disappointment though, Best-Lock can certainly
teach TLC about set designs. Without any QUALITY competition TLC will continue
to ignore the silent majority and like most of the other contributors, I am
forced to choose quality(with unwelcome juniorisation) over the much more
imaginative design content of these sets.

Anyone out ther had better experiences with these sets?
