There were three defenestrations of prague, I think it was the third (called the second???) where those defenestrated survived. This was alternately attributed to angels or falling into a dung pile.

According to the thread it isn't a bootleg/knockoff and lego isn't even that unique.

Alhazred posted:According to the thread it isn't a bootleg/knockoff and lego isn't even that unique.  time!Plastic building blocks since the mid-1940s have largely been a game of “good artists copy, great artists steal.” While Lego “acquired” the original design for their bricks from Kiddicraft, they did soon introduce and patent the internal tubing structures that provide so-called “clutch,” or the friction that allows the bricks to hold together independently (the original design was largely hollow, and as a result stayed together mostly due to gravity and what little friction the edges of the bricks alone could provide). While Lego’s patent on bricks has since expired, minifigures still enjoy a great amount of legal protection - if you look closely at the assassination train set, you can see that the arms and legs differ from Lego’s design. Where Lego historically excels, and what might edge some of these competitor products towards the spirit of this thread, is quality control. With Lego, missing or incorrect pieces are rare, friction between pieces is standardized, and high-quality plastics are used to ensure consistency of part shape, color, and strength. Sets are also designed to minimize tension between pieces and to stand up to a decent amount of movement and play. However, competitors are getting better in this regard all the time (Mega, for example), and some argue that Lego’s been slipping. In general, Lego enthusiasts are more receptive now than they’ve ever been to using competitor parts.

Being a competitor doesn't mean that you're making knockoffs though. Pepsi isn't a bootleg of Coka Cola for example.

Obviously most of them were substandard knockoffs, after the Defenestration of Prague had become a thing.

On the other hand, about 90% of the people I know offline would consider RC and Shasta cola a "knockoff" of those. The difference is almost entirely marketing and if you can make the public believe you are "bigger" than the competitors. "Bootleg", of course, has a connotation that you are intentionally violating copyright which none of these are.

The company that put out that train set also makes Kre-o who put out stuff with the Transformers and G.I. Joe brands. I bought this Optimus Prime a couple of years ago and the quality of the bricks felt fine. They absolutely are knock off Lego to the point where they are completely compatible but that's fine.
