Does anybody know which clone manufacturer made these parts?

The black brick has holes in the end faces as well, and is completely hollow.

The plastic appears to be high quality and the colours are pretty good
matches to Lego and the plastic has the same gloss finish.

The mouldings are high quality, with only one piece of "flash" on the parts,
while the machined edges are slightly "sharper" than normal.

All parts appear to be new, but the 2x4 brick does have an imperfection
which is present on all the bricks and would therefore appear to be in the
mould.

I also have a few angle connectors, very similiar to the Lego ones, except
for the lack of a "bend" number (1 to 6) and the axle holes are complete +
shaped and not the standard "reduced plus" (hard to describe even when
looking at one).

Origin unknown, originally acquired in a bulk lot of Technic from a car boot
sale.

any and all ideas as to their origin appreciated.

William

(...) Sounds like a remake of LEGO's "Technic" 2 x 4 from 1975: (URL) don't know but I added lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands hopefully this will help! Best regards, /Tobbe (URL) SPAM when e-mailing) (22 years ago, 1-Apr-03, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
