Well, It looks like Lego's gonna get more turbulance...

I recently saw a commercial of Hasbro and their battleship line. But guess what? The completely stole Lego's design of Board games and Called it "U-build battleship"! The entire thing in the "Line of fire" was completely studs and pieces!

Once the put the commercial on youtube I'll post it. Now lego has another copier to deal with. Sad

Copying happens ALL the time.
Last time I visited Vietnam, I saw tons of (Rahaga) Bionicles that are the exactly the same look (minus the mask) and had a different name. It was like..Star Warriors or something. Even the pieces had the lego logo on them. They were selling like hotcakes. The company even claimed a copyright on those sets. You see? It's pretty normal. LEGO can easily sue and go to court, however, that isn't very good. IT can ruin alliances and such, affecting shareholders.

This is so messed up! In all honesty, all you need to make a semi-successful business now-a-days is a really successful business to copy =/ It's just so sad that they'd even stoop to this level of copying. Next thing you know we'll be seeing almost complete copies like the ones BioK mentioned No

@emiliox, i think thats pretty unlikely, close to impossible in fact, lego is one of the richest and biggest companies in the world, not to mention its part of Disney, another Massive company.

its sad that other companies take the lego idea =[
Have you guys ever heard of a company called 'cobi'?
Cobi specializes in making army toys which look identical to lego minifigures and pieces, Lego 'apparently' don't even know they exist!

Oh gee, please. You all take this as doomsday for LEGO. The trademark is gone so people can copy away so saying copied doesn't matter now. I think the only way I would stop buying LEGO is if another company makes good toy bricks like LEGO but for not rip-off prices.

Guys, guys, guys. Lego can't do anything more about that than they can about Knex and Mega Blocks. Hasbro had a building block system in 2003-2004, where you could build Transformers and G.I.joe vehicles, that were competable with the regualr toys.

Anywy, it's not illegal for a toy company to put out a building system. BTW, Hasbro's won't last long.

well, i dont think neither of the copyers will becuase the public already collects LEGO at first (same as i do) and they there still playing with it now! so becuase Lego came first its still the option for building blocks at the moment.

I completely agree with Roddy, don't worry about it, few people will buy them anyway, and these were out before Lego put out their games.

I will continue to buy G.I.Joes and Transformers.

I just noticed that Hasbro, Megabloks, Cobi, Knex and more have copied Lego.
