In addition to "Small size with good plasticity" a rather unexpected difference
When I saw this building set at Miniso, I thought that it looked like a standard LEGO knock off.

But when I started to build the Miniso set I was very surprised by the size of the pieces.

| On top - Original LEGO blocks On bottom - Miniso blocks |
The Miniso blocks are over 25%smaller than the equivilent LEGO blocks.
This is the first time I have seen a copy of LEGO where the blocks are not the same size as LEGO's blocks. Why would Miniso do that? And then not give any hint about the reduced block size on the packaging. Unless of course that is what "Small Size with good plasticity" means.

This also means they can't be interchanged so you have to buy more of the knock off.
Good point, but the weird thing was this was the only building set in the store. So, no possibility of additional sales.
