roamingstop Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 I recently picked up a bunch of bricks and models from Switzerland, and one bag contains a load of blue and white Montini bricks. A quick google search shows they were a 1960's Dutch attempt to clone Lego. Does anyone know any more about these bricks? I dont plan to keep them but would take some photos if anyone was interested. Thanks
badboytje88 Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 I'm from Holland, but I've never heard of the brand. Let's google it! They are mentioned on this site: http://www.miniland.nl/neplego/echt%20of%20nep%20home.htm Since it's Dutch I'll translate it. The montini bricks have opened studs on top and a pattern of diagonal lines on the bottom. The colors are a little bit milky when compared to official LEGO bricks. The plastic is softer than LEGO ABS. The word montini is written between the studs in the right corner of the brick. I've seen a pic of the bricks and to be honest, they look horrendous. That's all I found. Hope this helps.
Lord Of The Fries Posted November 13, 2011 Posted November 13, 2011 Hmmm....I think I have one (that I found) and to be honest I thought it was an old lego brick design . I can take a picture of it tommorrow if you want. BTW my brick is a red 2x2.
roamingstop Posted November 14, 2011 Author Posted November 14, 2011 I sent you a PM! For those who might be intrigued - I will take some photos of the bricks in the next few days. Definitely must softer than Lego, but still compatible with 1xX bricks.
benjaho Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 I recognize these Montini bricks. I played with them alongside Lego when I was a boy. Will you be willing to sell these bricks to me? Benjamin
