Re: Dollar Store G.I.Joe Brick sets are terrible

They also have pieces you won't find in Lego, so you won't be able to build a 1:1 with official Lego pieces but you can get somewhat close. Sizing is 1:1 to Lego/Lego-compatible.

Some people do use super glue to hold them together. You might need to wash the pieces with dish soap to get rid of plastic separator from the molding process for a better bond.

Lastly, the Fang is the only one where the mini fig can sit in it. The Stormshadow and Snake eyes will not sit in the vehicles.
Great info, thanks!
I could imagine people buying these just to get Lego-combatible figures, but if they aint good, then it's a heartbreaker.
