How to describe a building set which is like LEGO without using the “LEGO” word?
We are sellers of building toys like LEGO online. But their website does not allow using the word "LEGO" directly to describe the products. Are there any other words that could describe the building sets like LEGO? It seems that LEGO is the representative of all kinds of building sets.

The usual phrases I've seen include some mixture of the following:
- Universal interlocking bricks
- Modular building system
- Plastic construction toy blocks
and so on...
But don't forget adding "Compatible with leading brands" if it is indeed the case :)

Living in China, home to a lot of LEGO clones, the wording "blocks" is indeed the most popular here in shops and pre-schools.

I have seen the sentence "Compatible." in product descriptions. When you are selling interlocking plastic toys, you can assume that everyone knows what this means.
