I know it's not Lego, but I like it! Well, some of it. Definitely not the figures which have induced screaming, thrashing night terrors in all who have seen them.
One of these days I want to see Ashens build something out of all of the combined fake Lego he's gotten throughout the years. It'd probably be the size of his house by now.
It would be great if Tatco were just a small group of people who work through various secondary companies to create things for the specific purpose of pissing off Ashen. When there's a dispute at work, the employees settle their differences by pulling their own arms and legs off and throwing them at each other.
Anybody ever think about lego sets in the universe of Toy Story? Are the minifigures the only living things? How about full on sets that you build? If it was like an elephant made of legos, would it not think? At what point do toys in that universe gain free will and thinking ability? How about Knock offs of toys? Like what if Buzz met a knock off from when he was a big thing? Ditto for Woody? Basically any of them. I imagine Knockoffs are like second class citizens... Should I stop thinking about this?
Sean B But it's debatable whether he gets to keep his face when he transforms. Some people draw him as the one whose face stays the same, but others have the entire body changed.
I managed to obtain Albanian fake Lego. It contained thousands of bricks that were very small and impossible to put together. You had to put together a thousand of them to build a helicopter, but they were impossible to tell apart, not to mention the angles were not exactly 90 degrees, resulting in all kinds of deviations. Moreover, once you joined two bricks, you couldn't take them apart again, without the help of a blow torch. It took me about one afternoon to give up on that shit.
Fun fact: The Polish lego man's name literally translates as "Walking Prussian". However, I do know someone who is polish who said that it actually translates as "Prussian Knight". Cool, huh?
There's an easy explanation - the literal translation is indeed "walking Prussian", but piechur in Polish means an infantry ("a walking soldier"). This Cobi set is inspired by the battle of Grunwald (1410, Polish-Lithuaninan-Teutonic war).
Cobi actually used to make figurines that were exact copies of Lego ones, just usually military themed which Lego didn't touch. I guess they had to switch to these horrifying monsters when they started exporting the blocks because of copyright issues. They make some awesome stuff though. Their niche nowadays is models of actual historical vehicles like tanks and aeroplanes.
@@eternalemperorvalkorion750A couple days ago, I was trying to look up images of Norwegian soldier uniforms during the battle of Norway in 1940 in an attempt to do my best to recreate a Norwegian soldier in Battlefield V (That's a mouthful.), instead, I found an image of a Cobi set that was meant to be German soldiers at Narvik. They had Kar 98ks and even an MP40, I was actually surprised. Not sure if the Minifigures were accurate uniform wise (Or as close as a fake Lego Minifigure could get.), but they were incredibly detailed.
testiou Give it plastic gray hair and it's Jay Leno. Give it black hair and a chainsaw lego arm and it's Bruce Campbell. =P Not-Actually-Lego chinman is versatile!
Ugh, Family Dollar. There used to be one in town about 12 miles from where I live (yes, in America). They were put out of business by Dollar General, which is basically the same thing. Both are weird grocery stores in large rectangular buildings made of corrugated sheet metal and the *entire* building smells like the laundry detergent isle. Inside, you'll find one depressed checkout clerk and the white-trashiest people you've ever seen. Their holiday decorations for sale are decent at best. Interestingly enough, both stores have 'Dollar' in the name, but aren't actually dollar stores.
@@Swiftbow which is why it's automatically the best. The one where I live even has those Poundland-esque microwave sandwiches that Stuart seems to love (as long as the buns are toasted).
I totaly respect Cobi. Not only it's from my homeland but they are doing their own stuff, many miliatary sets and everythinh with lot of their own pieces. This one particular set is part of great line of sets based of Battle of Grunwald. Oh, Cobi is caring about customers. Mail them and will send you missing part
"Family Dollar Services" Yup, it was sent from America. Family Dollar and Dollar Tree are our versions of Poundland and 99p Stores. That's cleared that one up, I presume.
No, not cleared up as Family Dollar Store sells their items for less than a dollar and more than a dollar. Dollar Tree sells everything in the store for a dollar or less. That's cleared that one up, I presume. :-)
The WW2 sets I've purchased are pretty great quality. I'd go as far to say that they are just less well made as Lego. But maybe the ones that get shipped to other countries such as the U.S. Have better quality control.
Caden Castillo Not quite. The sets that Kirby is talking about were much older, like 10-12 years ago. They had really nice designs of vechicles but quality of bricks was pretty damn bad. Ugh and these minifigs.
Actually got some of the newer Cobi sets now, Small Army, World War 2 series, they are actually pretty darn good. Minifigs however are surely worthy of a good laugh.
I dunno if it's just me, but Ashens has a voice that would actually be amazing for telling a bedtime story or something; there;s just something smooth about it that would make him a great narrator.
Falcon Plays They're "cool" because they're mostly based on real designs. The white bird on red was part of an older version of the Polish coat-of-arms. Also included is the Holy Roman Empire, Hungary, Russia and Teutonic Knights. Though what amused me was the presence of the sun figure Inti, which was unknown until South America was in the process of being discovered.
There are actual small Lego vehicles that use "chassis-lumps" like that . They're either featured as part of a larger set, or sold individually in boxes and polybags for about £5.
Im gonna be genuinely honest. I went to worcester when i was a kid (about 6 years ago) and went into this toy shop. I found all these cobi fake lego medieval things and for some god foresaken reason i decided to bust all my money on that horrifying cannon in that video. I paid £7.99 for that monstrosity which im never getting back.
i laughed so hard when u were describing the guys' faces i started choking and i literally felt like i waS ABOUT TO DIE! well at least it was hilarious and totally worth it
the green robot thing literally looked like the company found a random mix on excess bits left over from various sets over the years and just kinda put something together all fast and haphazardly and said " f&@k it good enuff boys ready the boxes" lol
I looked really closely at the Polish nonlegoes and I was really confused. You see, they *actually say "LEGO" on the studs in clearly-marked LEGO font.* fucking poles always stealing car tires and now legoes
Hasbro copies lego(but has much different and much more articulated figures and other unique bricks), MegaBlocks copies lego too, but is that necessary to use that stereotype about poles(unless you are racist)?
"Here's the man who drives the fire car" *Figure stares eerily with a grin that has seen the unthinkable* "This is not a man who combats fires, this is a man who starts fires, probably with his mind"
I'm glad my parents bought me knock-off Lego from time to time in order to sate my *CONSTRUCTION URGES*. I had only a little bit less "fun" than I would with the name brand stuff, but my dad never had to work overtime to afford it.
Still better than the hostel I stayed at in Newfoundland where I could feel shit (I assume bedbugs) crawling on my all night and where the guy in the bed next to me threw up. Good memories.
Dear god, when there was a jump cut to the built thing, there was a war of colony ad and as soon as it finished, ashens said "my god, I've seen some shit in my day" XD

"Bitwa pod Grunwaldem" was one of the only dates I'd remember during history tests in Poland. I live in England now, so that was useless. Still, at least Malbork Castle is nice.
