I have bought this as it saves kids bending over to play on the floor with their Lego. I've just tried it with Lego and it works great. Was £16 - great for having some downstairs and the rest in their storage box!

And out come the brand snobs, the sort of people that buy a £1500 tv and leave it on the appalling factory picture settings and watch SD content resulting in an experience worse than a well set up £500 set.

It's just a lap tray and storage unit, get a grip... does a lego equivalent version of this even exist??

Compatible lego varies in quality depending on the manufacturer but a lot of it is close enough to lego for the differences to be insignificant. There's also a lot of well designed sets out there that you simply can't buy officially, it's not all just carbon copies.
99% of the people that criticise on here are pure brand snobs and haven't even laid a finger on any of the stuff. Some people feel the need to justify their expenditure to themselves but pass it off as trying to convince others.
There's a band of reviewers that go around Amazon giving off brand sets bad reviews, the same few usernames crop up on every single set giving 1 star reviews. As if they would keep buying 1000's of pounds worth of sets if they hated it so much.

would not buy compatible lego crap no matter how useful it is. if it's not lego bin it. yes it is cheap but it ain't the BRICK and no where near as good

I love Lego but the generic stuff has its usefulness...especially if you consider them as Lego's version of Star Trek's red shirts.

not really about being a brand snob
as i said i was willing to get it but on trying it it wasn't good enough
my kids duplo was supplemented by lidl bricks which were a perfect fit imo but these were just too tight and its already tough enough to get some lego bricks apart never minding the fact it was for smaller and weaker fingers

nothing to do with brand snobs and tvs. it's crap building bricks that get put in big boxes of loose lego and they want lego prices for it on eBay. I'm fed up with this crap stuff coming up in my search for lego on here. there are good copies of everything but this stuff is a bin filler not a stocking filler. it's a pity they were allowed to make it in the first place.

you cannot convince me that fake crap bricks is better than lego and does not deserve even 1 star in any review. many good copies of everything out there this is not one of them and will never value in time either. I have 2 taj mahal sets one opened one not. if there was a compatible one what would it be worth now if brought out on the same day.

This is pretty good. The plate on this performs just as well as a Lego one. The regular Blox baseplates are garbage however.

I must be getting old, but I was happy with playing with lego on the floor, why wouldn't kids today?

waited for ages for the 'pick and mix' of this pretend lego then left empty handed after trying out instore
it just didn't fit 'right'... bit too tight vs the real thing which is tight enough!
Also I find Oxford bricks, the brand Smyths sell, are decent quality too

Thank you! I've ordered this set. At that price, there is nothing to lose and the review looks good!

I bought a box in Clearance Bargains for £15 and thought it was worth that. At (1p/Brick) you really can't go wrong. I'm definitely going to pick up a couple more for Christmas.
