:blush: Sorry, I do review a few clones, I just like to compare things :thumbup: (I have refrained from posting my little town made of clone brands, although it is only a fire station at the moment) I also have to warn that I will be adding some more near Christmas when the clone brands pop up more often.

I actually made this index to improve on the way we look upon the clone brands.

Some of them actually have quite useful parts.

My Wolverine fig wouldn't be the same without the claw-hands from the megablocks Wolverine :wink:

So do by all means post your clone brand reviews and let's discuss the copy-cats in a mature and reasonable way.

Updated the first post.

Yes this is a bumb, but given the recent discussion on bootlegs and clone brands, I thought his might prove useful for some.

Excellent idea to make a thread for non-Lego review. I did not know that some clone brands can be so nice!

What about brands like Tente, Loc Blocs, and Brix Blox? Are they still considered clones even though they are not compatible with Lego, or is there another term to describe them( Lego-like, but not compatible)?

There should be a topic in the main forum: "How do clone brands get away..." or something like that.

I took the liberty of updating the index with the handful of new reviews and the extra discussion. :thumbup:

Hope you don't mind.

Why of course not.

You are the "Queen" and you are more than welcome to do this index, as I really haven't got the time or care enough for clone brands.

Good job Mylady :thumbup:

Hah, guess I will keep working on it then :thumbup:, it seems to be my domain now.

Indeed.

This Index is all yours.

Now let's see what I can find to accompany such a task :devil:

I do have to say your reviews are some of my favourite on the site and have had me scouring ebay for some of the more unusual clones.

Whilst there are obvious issues with some of the clones in regards to quality, some of the designs and themes are pretty cool.

Keep up the good work.

Added to the index! Now that there is more than one Oxford set, I can make it a seperate heading.

willy_poodle, yes there are many mixed media MOCs (as I prefer to call them) I have some myself. Posting them on EB would possibly cause riots... Check flickr for them and you are sure to find some.

I think the name error was the simple post editor the board uses. I used the full editor this time, hopefully to great effect!

Again, thanks for all the reviews of really hard to find elsewhere sets. You're the Korean Correspondent!
