There is a whole lot of good stuff there. I especially like the big ships and the one that looks like an Army barracks room or maybe a hospital room. Theres too many there I'd like to get, the Apache, those Army box sets, especially the one with the troop truck. That thing just begs to be made into a classic ARAH APC. It even has what looks like the perfect cover for it and that fighter jet, that just begs to be made in white/grey as a Skystriker.
I wonder if those big ships, the Coast Guard Cutter and the I guess that's a Frigate, I wonder if those can float.
Why did you have to post those Destro ? I was all content to be saving money this year with nothing to really buy. I have to get that set with the Troop truck. If I get nothing else I need that one. The tank in that set could even pass for Mauler, wrong color sure but still the hull looks close enough the turret would need some reworking. Those Police headquarters look pretty tempting too. Are these sets available here ?
edit: doh! I just noticed the link to ebay. that answers that question. Thanks for posting this Destro, I would of never know about these.

Darn it all to heck......
Sorry for the strong use of language.
I might as well start converting my money into yen now.
Those 3 boat sets are awesome, especially the grey battleship.
Well, looks like my ideas about saving some money over the next few months just got shot in the rear-end.

Those samurai sets are pretty cool.

What is Oxfords relationship to Hasbro? Are they a subsidiary or partner or third party? How long have they been in business? Where can you buy their earlier stuff? I've never seen any of it before.

Love the FFG and pretty much all the military stuff!
Any stores carry it, though?

The company's small sized blocks are compatible with Lego brand bricks, and the company makes blocks in larger sizes for younger children. Oxford has licenses to make themed sets from Disney, Hello Kitty, Robocar Poli and Pororo. Oxford manufactures Kre-O bricks on behalf of Hasbro.
DESTRO says
Oxford has made many more boats in the past including the base for the Battleship we got in Kre-O and the Thunderwave.
Also if you look at the jet its Starscream from Transformers Kre-O (not an perfect copy) and the G.I. Joe Dojo set is pulled from the Emperor Kingdom. Empire sets are Dungeons and Dragons.

Yeah, these sets are cool. I've been living in China over 6 years now and you guys would be shocked at not only the variety of cool sets available from many different companies, but the prices. The price is incredible enough in the small toy shops outside all the public schools, even more incredible in the big markets downtown and down right scandalous on the Chinese version of ebay. The prices are so incredible that I'm actually shocked at how "high" the super cheap prices are when I go to the markets. To give you an idea, the cheapest single figure with mini vehicle costs about 15 cents and the largest castle or aircraft carrier can be found for 15 dollars or less. There are even sellers that sell many colors of every kind of single brick and weapon/accessory for roughly 3 cents. I bought every different shade of pink/purple and white sets for girls I could find two years ago and combined them all to build a 4 foot tall by 3 feet wide by 1 1/2 feet deep Palace complete with witches,wizards, kings, queens and dozens of different ranking guards and knights. I even built a dungeon and trophy room level under the palace and outer courtyards with all the grey and yellow pieces that I collected from the sets I bought while trying to build up the different guards. The whole thing cost a little over a hundred dollars.
