Anyone ever heard of or seen TOG'L?  These are pretty odd looking!  I had
never heard of them, and at first look they don't even look like Lego, but
they are a building toy of some kind.  Lots of strange parts in the pics.  I
saw this in the dead (ATL) group, and thought I would pass it on to those
who might be interested who can't get ATL.

Hi, any Tog'l lovers out there (anyone remember Mattel's vainglorious • attempt
in the late 1960's/early 1970's to steal some of Lego's thunder?), I just • want
to let y'all know that I have a Tog'l Circus Builder Set up on the eBay • auction
site, low opening bid, NO RESERVE, this set is complete and pristine mint
(unused) old toy store stock, it even has the wrapper around the storage
chest......unfortunately (and here's the catch) the Tog'lmen figures are • NOT
included...darn it....but it has everything else like new.....if you're • curious
you can check out the details and pictures here:

(...) Looking at it, I think I've seen it before. Not sure if we had it as a kid, or a friend had it, but the picture definitely reminds me of something.

We had TOG'L when I was a kid. It was fun to play with, but I can't imagine doing any serious building with it. That lot on eBay has a lot of elements I've never seen before -- the Tog'lmen, the bars, the base(plate), the wheels. Steve (...) (26 years ago, 22-Apr-99, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
