Kre-O from Hasbro?
Did anyone else see this info about Hasbro going into the "Lego Knock-Off" market?

I doubt it... look at the Transformers set, pretty much every piece is an exact copy of something LEGO has made except for the head. It's not just a rip-off, it's the least creative ripoff I've ever seen barring the made-in-China direct copies. Even Mega Bloks had a couple pieces (well... one piece) worth hanging on to.MrMcThrasher wrote:Huh. Maybe there'll be a few unique pieces to make them worthwhile.

I don't know, I like the pieces that are like one of these cut in half.
I'd say these don't look too bad, but I still won't be buying any.
Either way, it's still using the classic "compatible with Lego" as a fallback for failure, so they're obviously not too sure about it themselves. Even more reason not to get any.
