A company that didn't exactly impress with its high quality or outstanding sets, but was nonetheless incredibly important to the brick-building market: BEST-LOCK!

Founded in the late 1990s, it quickly became a thorn in LEGO's side, inflicting many frustrating defeats on the Danish company. They only ultimately failed with the 3D Minifigure trademark.
