When I was young one of my friends had a set of Foley's Bricks, these were a lot like Lego but slightly larger in size & made from a softer plastic.
It came from a relative who thought they were near enough to Lego to pass for a present.
The mascot on the box was of a boy in a space suit. I've never seen anything like them before or since, & can't find anything on a Google search.
Another type of brick system that Kellogs used as a special offer was made by Tente.
Both me & the above friend sent off for them.
They were similar to Lego but the studs were larger & had a small hole in the centre.
The free model came with a catalogue of other Tente products, but I never saw any in any toyshop I looked in.
Accoriding to Wikipedia the company is Spanish & specialise in scale models http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tente_%28Toys%29
Does anyone else have any experiance of the able systems?
