• ... that Korean brick toys, colloquially called "Korean Lego", often feature themes of "war and danger", including sets such as military vehicles? Source: https://www.dbpia.co.kr/pdf/pdfView.do?nodeId=NODE11205467

• So this is technically not a 5x expansion. However, if you found a way to summarize some of the genres of sets in the bulleted lists, this would qualify. It's about 50 words short as far as I can tell. Otherwise AGF on the source, as I do not speak Korean. Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 02:57, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
  • Generalissima, I debulleted the list. The cited source is in English, although access may be limited for folks outside Koraen university network (I can provide the file by email). --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 10:19, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
    • I'm willing to AGF on the paywalled source, especially since the news articles about the company's new sets show off these same themes described. Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 22:47, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

Removed unreferenced content

I couldn't find references for the following claims - perhaps they exist in Korean?

• Oxford sets are commonly copied by Chinese toy companies Sluban and Woma, sometimes with slight changes.
• themes related to Disney and Robocar Poli
