"COBI is a very high quality clone".
They didn't say "it's a decent" or something like that.
"VERY HIGH quality" is a compliment. Wheter you agree or not, it's
a fact.

It is a high quality clone. That is a fact.

This behaviour of yours is very damaging to the community.

Which community is my behaviour damaging?
| | It's really a pain to spend a lot of time sorting bricks separing cheap clones
like COBI and so on from the actual LEGO and encouraging people to keep them
in order to make some small (to nearly zero) profit is not a good attitude for
this platform. I strongly believe that the money you can gain out of selling
stuff like clones (most of them are also illegal in most countries) is a small
amount compared to the time you lose in separing the bricks, converted into money.
Yours is shortsighted business.

So what you are implying here is that no other company aside from LEGO should
be allowed to sell brick building toys. If you buy bulk lots and need to remove
clone parts from them, that is not because of my behaviour. It is because the
people you bought them from had LEGO mixed up with bricks from other brands.
If sorting is an issue for you, then you should check first whether the mixed
lots you buy have clones in.
COBI is not illegal in most countries. That is an absolutely ridiculous statement.
You really do not know what you are talking about.
| | I believe also that complimenting or giving value to clone brands on this forum
is totally not the right place to do such. People who spend hours in separating
actual LEGO from knockoffs do this because of people keeping on having your attitude.

Many clone brands are of high quality these days. Some surpass LEGO in that their
colour can be more consistent, in some cases molding marks are less visible,
and prints are better quality. Denying that helps nobody. LEGO has had some terrible
quality issues in the past. If AFOLs deny that there are quality issues, then
LEGO would never have to improve where they fall short.
Just because something is not made by LEGO does not mean it has no value at all.
Destroying items because they are not LEGO is wrong. Banning other companies
from producing brick building toys would be hugely detrimental to LEGO fans,
since LEGO could increase the prices even more than they have already done as
they would have no competition. It also wouldn't be possible anyway as LEGO
does not have the right to stop other companies producing similar items especially
where LEGO no longer has active patents for.
COBI is a genuine company that produces its own designs for sets, and produces
many themes that LEGO say they will never produce. It is a perfectly legal competitor
for brick based toys.
|
All of that you wrote is so wrong on so many levels that I doubt even explaining
you everything would remotely change your mind, so there's nothing more we
can say about this.
After all, everything started from your wrong assumption that the former wasn't
complimenting, so from wrong assumptions it is very unlikely that true conclusion
can come out.
Just one note: FYI removing some competitors could actually lead in a DECREASE
of the price of LEGO because those competitors deprive the market from potential
buyers. May. Or may not. Your conclusions show once again you're very shortsighted
at business.
