Hmm. That's an interesting piece. the slope/stud arrangement is more like
those curved slope pieces:

That's a cute set, too. I particularly like the aligator munching on the

I'm not hugely opposed to clones, but I would also never intentionally buy
them. I bought a set of "Lego vehicles" on e-bay and was a bit miffed to
find that one of them was a clone brand (and another one was glued! ick!).
I have these pieces in my collection, but rarely use them as they're in a
non-Lego color and I only have a few.
