There are loads of competitors out there churning out compatible bricks, some are pretty good quality but most are extremely naff. The local toy store near me sells bags of compatible bricks in a wide selection of colours, and they surround this section with loads of notices emphasising their compatibility with the 'market leader'. I wonder what Lego would say if they saw how the display was set up. The store is one of a chain but only this branch seems to stock them, so perhaps it's the store manager making a few quid on the side
