These are great quality, clutch and colour.

Bought what I thought was a bag of Duplo bricks etc from a charity shop but only
about 10% turned out to be genuine.

Fortunately enough unusual genuine items to make a reasonable profit, just shocked
how good these are, thought I’d just warn others to check very carefully if bought
in a semi transparent bag as I did.

No logo inside studs or markings underneath but supports, mould design underneath
and central mould pip on top a great copy.

One brick has sticker to one side for those that commissioned the items and on
opposite side made in China printed on brick.

Found these genuine items in this lot.

Really taken with these, not seen them before.

Bins and matching bags of rubbish/recycling.

Those look really nice. Glad these made it worth the Flego.

That printed brick with the sticker is an interesting item in that lot.

It’s the first time I’ve seen this sort of info, no idea why the sticker should
have been applied to an individual brick especially with the printed origin on
the same piece.

Does the sticker indicate the brand? I can't tell by looking at it.
I have found a few brands that I am willing to use with Duplo. Even some brands
that I really dislike in standard LEGO scale are ok in Duplo scale. But these
blocks look to be even better than the clone brands I have played with.
Even LEGO brand (DUPLO) has some quality issues.

Sadly it does not give the manufacturer.

It gives a batch number, item number and who they are made for and their address.

I’ll see if the item number shows up somewhere.
