Re: What an ambulance! —Bradley Dale

(...) minfigure is protected, it says so on some of the boxes. And isn't that a LEGO steering wheel? (24 years ago, 13-Oct-00, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, lugnet.general, lugnet.faq)

Re: What an ambulance! —Timothy Jones

(...) Most of it seems to be a clear copy of LEGO. The headlights, and most of the basic pieces, have a very big similarity to LEGO. It does seem that they're violating a few trademark laws. (24 years ago, 14-Oct-00, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, lugnet.general, lugnet.faq)

Re: What an ambulance! —Trevor Pruden

OOOOOHHH MAN!!! BLATENT COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT! Although, do my eyes deceive me? Clear light blue Minifig heads on the larger ambulance???

Re: What an ambulance! —Erin Windross

My god. Someone has, no, NEEDS to be sued for this! I think they just take Lego pieces, scratch off the Lego logo, repaint them, and stick them in their 'own' sets!!

Re: What an ambulance! —Trevor Pruden

I noticed too. BUT...like I said in my other posting: What about those clear minifig style heads that are used as the overhead flashing lights on the larger ambulance set. Seriously...I think they have their own molds that were designed using (...) (24 years ago, 14-Oct-00, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, lugnet.general, lugnet.faq)

Re: What an ambulance! —James Trobaugh

Here's a similar example of blatant copying by a company in china that I found. Every piece is a copy of a LEGO piece, they even copied the instructions and the box. The only thing is that they don't fit each other very well. (URL) J. Trobaugh North (...) (24 years ago, 14-Oct-00, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, lugnet.general, lugnet.faq)

Re: What an ambulance! —Daniel Allen

Re: What an ambulance! —Kevin Zwicker

(...) There may be hope... Take a look at the US 1999 S@H summer catalogue. On page 23, set #M100. It is a play mat that you can assemble from six large foam pieces.
