Not really a clone brand of LEGO, but where else do you stick it? Hey, I know that Hasbro/Knex has brought these back to the marketplace in recent years, much to the delight of baby boomers. Are there any sites that you know of that showcase (...) (23 years ago, 5-Sep-01, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) I can't dig out my Coko stuff right now, but it might be Coko. I think Coko bricks are ABS also like LEGO (I think Megablocks is Polystyrene like plastic models), they certainly have the same feel. Frank (23 years ago, 2-Sep-01, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) I got a bunch of those in a bag of used stuff a while back. There was a mixture of the anchor with the two dots, some parts with COKO on the stud top and some with no markings.

Here is a scan of a 2x4 brick and 2x3 plate: (URL) material looks like LEGO (vs. MegaBloks (sp?)), but the studs have a logo which looks like an anchor flanked by a dot on each side. Anyone know the brand of theses bricks. Don't know how they got (...) (23 years ago, 2-Sep-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) The long pinkish red robe that goes down both the front and the back of the queen bokifig in 'Legends of the Lion Kingdom?' I will have to try that.
