"The bricks and minfigs do stick tightly enough compare to other Lego baseplates. I brought this because it was the new color, totally disappointed!! Lucky I was abled to send it back to Amazon and got a full refund. It was not a knockoff brick brand,it was the Lego brand baseplate in case anyone thinks I brought something else.The price is also too high of an increase for this plate and for the blue and green colors."
