Why didn't LEGO do this? [Clone Brand Warning]

Post by tedward »

OK, so I was in BC Shavers on Fort St this past weekend and I saw a bunch of Cobi brand sets including some from their "Romans and Barbarians" theme. I actually found myself wondering how I could get some of the cool elements like a legion eagle standard or the very roman shields. :puke:

Good thing I will have no money to spend on LEGO until, heck probably BrickCon after I pay Steve. :roll:

I thought of you when I was looking at that stuff on Friday.
By the box markings, I think it's Polish. Hadn't seen that brand before.

Apparently a former partner with BestLock and yes, based in Poland.

I still feel a little dirty and I only touched one box.
