You're right, I had a look on ebay and they are really the same bricks, just different sets.
But I suppose it may be the other way round - maybe they buy them from Cobi and rebrand for UK as D60 or Cobi got licence for D60. I think so because Cobi manufacture their own bricks, but who knows.
Is there anything written on D60's studs?
By the way - Cobi doesn't seem to care too much for what single customers think. A few years ago I wrote them a message with my comments and questions and recently again with comments about that new line and some suggestion for a new licence and they didn't even bother to reply.
How do you remove such pins?
I've already destroyed one with pliers but still couldn't remove it.

I haven't even started yet, I'm sorting my collection, but I have collected books about architecture, antiques and decorating and I'm going to use them as reference and ispiration.
Maybe try the same, get some albums about something you're interested in and start from there.
Why not, I can agree with these 2.
And my votes:
1. Tolkien
2. Tad Williams' books
3. Thorgal (the best ever European comic series, not very well known in English-speaking countries)
5. Thief games
6. Charles Dickens
7. Mario
8. Dungeons & Dragons
9. Back To The Future
10. some great rock bands
Well, these 2 parts are not that bad, they are quite small and simple and I guess I could use them for something.
But the main, big parts are horrible.
OK, I've done it a few days ago, but no reply yet. Or it got filtered out by e-mail provider, like it happened recently with some hotel booking confirmation.
For me all Bionicle parts except the small and simple technic parts.
Thay have no other use than in ugly robots and look like thay were made of some smaller mechanical parts and have fake joints and... you can't make a house of them.
And some big parts designed for one purpose only like truck trailers and such.
