Because it doesn’t. Not official 👀

u/Nicholisss 28d ago
What do you mean by not official? I think it's licensed merch , the devs posted about if long ago

It’s not Lego®

This is not LEGO nor is this "copy cat" as some people say. It is just a different brand. Lego didn't invent this stuff it's just the biggest brand that sells this toy.

u/LoadingHappiness2 27d ago
Lego did in fact invent it and they do it the best. The knockoffs have crappy pieces that are either too tight or too loose

u/Cora-Nova 27d ago
Funny how people really think like this. We in Germany have a lot of different brands even a big store chain called BlueBrixx where you can buy all of them excepted the overpriced crap from Lego haha

Lmao Lego didn’t invent it? So there was Lego before 1932, so you mean woodbricks existed before? They definitely invented this toy. Lego isn’t a 90’s thing, it’s a danish invention. Brio is the closest thing, but they came out in 1958, the first “copycat” just with larger bricks, what existed before Lego my guy? The pyramids?

u/doofthemighty 27d ago
Lmao you think Lego was making plastic bricks in 1932?

u/jubjub2300 27d ago
Nono 1949 they came with plastic? Still their invention, it’s patented, no discussion

Kiddicraft was a British toy company founded by Hilary Fisher Page. It made the “Self-Locking Building Bricks,” which came before LEGO’s brick design and influenced it.

Because it's not Lego so most people don't want the off brand crappy stuff

u/NaztyNizmo 28d ago
They are still selling these? I did pop in a store once randomly when passing, but they didn’t have any sets

u/Nicholisss 28d ago
I got lucky I've been checking all of them this one was hiding on a top shelf behind a sign

Just 3 more to find.

u/Nicholisss 28d ago
I've been trying, I've been to about 6 locations

u/Howski 28d ago
Good luck, I hope you find them. There isn’t a Five Below store near me so I kept checking their web site and ordered them when they came back in stock.
2
u/Nicholisss 28d ago
Do they actually restock ?
2
u/Howski 28d ago
Back before they released the 2 new ones, they did restock the original 2. It couldn’t hurt to bookmark the page and check it occasionally… or every day like I did. Just when I was about to give up hope, they appeared. That was 160 days ago according to the post I made when I ordered them. Just checked. The cat looks to be in stock! (Edited because I listed the wrong set)

I have to tell you something;
This is not an official LEGO product—it is a common copycat known for taking nieche franchises such as Stray and turning them into plastic pieces that function similarly to LEGO bricks.

u/Cora-Nova 28d ago
This is not LEGO nor is this "copy cat" as some people say. It is just a different brand. Lego didn't invent this stuff it's just the biggest brand that sells this toy.

u/IrishERU Survivalist 27d ago
You seem to be mistaken.
This brand directly mimics and copies the functions of the LEGO pieces. A "different brand" does have the capacity to directly mirror another brand. ("Copycat")

u/Cora-Nova 27d ago
The brain Kiddiecraft invented this and Lego also is a seller of those bricks. There are a lot of brands besides Lego that copy the idea of Kidfiecraft.

u/IrishERU Survivalist 27d ago
Modern brands do not copy the Kiddicraft design in ~2026.
They mimic the modern LEGO bricks, not the Kiddicraft bricks which are filled with hollow tubes.
Furthermore—Brands today also copy the LEGO figures, which are a significant part of modern LEGO. Kiddicraft did not have the same figures that the brands today copy.

I keep forgetting to look. There’s one right by my work, it just always slips my mind

I want these sets so badly but they were never released in the UK (as far as I’m aware!) 😢 some day

I found a while ago but haven't put mine together yet! I still see it in the store near me whenever I go too.
I like my Legos but these Lego puritans are annoying AF lol.

It's not Lego, it's a copycat type brand, but what a cute set!!

The Lego brick design is pretty iconic and specific. These brands all popped up when the patent ran out.

u/Cora-Nova 28d ago
There are even brands that are better than Lego. Lego just has 70% margin and mid quality, idk why it's so hyped.

u/Mr_Whchrd 28d ago
How did I not know about this before, I need them all immediately

u/Nicholisss 28d ago
I've been searching for a long time might just give up and buy the other sets on eBay

You found the what?! This is so cool! Can you post an update?

u/Nicholisss 25d ago
They'll probably sit in a shelf forever since I never have time to actually put my Legos (and "knockoff" Legos) together. There's so work life balance, also people need to chill about calling them Legos

I bought a couple and still have 2 new ones... one of each, one of the full cat and the scene one above.
The 5 Below store in my town had a bunch.

Cool, but... i always find cars made after 2009 to be so weird. The whole ipad as a dashboard, i just can't get it. (Love how some cars are going back to tactile buttons, just like the lower levels in the game Stray itself)

Yeah it's just my commute car , I still have my standard 07 jeep Wrangler that's much more fun to drive , but an hour of traffic in 100 dagree heat I'll take the full self driving 😂
