I stole the sad onions quip from some other toy reviewer. I don't know who or when. I wouldn't advise the Best Lock not-Legos due to the frustration of disassembly and the likelihood to encourage the use of teeth to pry them apart. Spring for a couple of the official brick separator tools first if you must. But the ones branded as Make-It Blocks are probably a safe disposable trainer LEGO.

Just avoid their figure sets like the plague.
