Hey all,
This isn't really a "clone brand," but since it
has elements designed for compatibility, and
because I'm looking at buying it specifically
for use in building a port for my Lego ships,
I'm going to post my query here.
OK, I've been hitting the local Zany Brainys
and other "artsy" toy stores, and I've grown
very interested in the Rokenbok systems as
a possible compatible way to built frameworks,
since they have large baseplate elements that
would allow minifigs, turrets, whatever on the
spans. The quality looks pretty good, and
the price (ugh) reflects it.
So my question is: Do any of you have this
stuff? What's your impression? Would it be
worth sinking the $100 or so to buy a clump
of parts boxes to build a base in a way I
can't with Lego, because I'd use too many
vital pieces? And no, I have no interest in
the vehicles, the R/C system, or the figures
and accessories--only the building elements
themselves, which actually seem more minifig
scale than to the scale of the figures Rokenbok
makes. Nice decorative elements, too.
Oh, and as an aside: I've fiddled with them.
Most ZBs have a set or two out and fully
assembled--which is how I know that at
least it's solidly constructed (perhaps too much
so). I just don't know how it looks when it's
in and amongst the real bricks and plates...
Thanks,
LFB.
