Now that I've made the move to the Dark Side and started buying Mega Bloks pro-builder sets, I've become aware through the off-topic.clone-brands group that there are other clone brands: Tyco, Bestlock, Coko, etc. However, the only clone brand I've seen here in Australia is Mega Bloks. Does anyone know of any Australian retailer that is selling any other clone brands? Obviously I could buy from overseas, but the attraction of clone brands is the price and that price advantage can go away if you have to spend a fortune on shipping from overseas.
