(...) Hmmm. Compatible? Well, put it this way - Lego is more compatible, more easily available, and does not need to be shipped halfway across the World! They fit with Lego, but not well. Too tight or too loose, depending on which is on top, and (...) (23 years ago, 10-May-01, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) Actually, I was wondering more about Betta-Build. I got four or five Tente 2x4 bricks in a recent eBay lot, and I was surprised to learn that the brick dimensions are so similar to, and yet so incompatible with, LEGO. Dave! (23 years ago, 8-May-01, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) TENTE is not LEGO-compatible. The principles are much the same, and the outside brick dimensions are comparable, but the stud size (diameter, with open centres) is all different. Someone around here was specifically looking for TENTE, as I (...) (23 years ago, 8-May-01, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) Are these at all compatible with LEGO? If so, I'd be interested, and I'd certainly pay postage. Dave! (23 years ago, 8-May-01, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

I have some non-Lego - the brand-name is TENTE - which I found in a couple of recent tubs of second-hnad Lego. The bits - a few bricks and plates, and some "special" bits (1 helicopter ski, half a dozen plane wings) - don't fit Lego. Does anyone (...) (23 years ago, 7-May-01, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) In the U.S. you can find pink Best-Lock castle sets in K-Mart stores. I bought a large space set or two once, but returned one of them. The set had a red cone I wanted... I am very "clone positive" but I have to have a certain quality level (...) (23 years ago, 3-May-01, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

Well, I just got my first purchase of Best-Lock bricks in the mail yesterday-- I had been searching for their castles in stores (where I had seen other Best-Lock stock) to no avail, so I finally I just ordered them online.
