Disagree. I remember trying it out Tyco in 1988 and it left a very bitter
taste in my mouth -- blyecch -- and at the time I wasn't even a LEGO purist.
True, Tyco was the best of the non-LEGO off-brands, but the quality still
never quite lived up to the real thing. Also, the Tyco building instruction
booklets were of extremely poor technical quality, and the suggested models
were atrocious.

Nah, some days I just live in a world of extremes where everything either
totally stinks or totally rocks.

The general designs, maybe...but even that cool 2x2 half-brick-height piece
Tyco made which had "tubes" on both the top and bottom was nothing but
trouble. I suspect LEGO never made it because it was too hard to pry apart.
Then again, it may just have been the problem of the inferior Tyco plastic
sticking too hard.
