(...) You'll have to hunt around a bit, but I think so. Try TRU (if you need to look under the signs which hide the top shelf), try K-Marts. I'm not sure where all I've seen this set, but I've seen it within the last month or so. (25 years ago, 6-May-99, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

If you're interested, go to (URL) if this is too off-topic, these castillos aren't reall a clone-brand either, so I'm unsure of (...)

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.

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.
