Have you experienced copycats, and if so, what do you believe is the number one barrier to them competing against you?

There are a couple of people copying it. The main barrier to entry is that you need to do volume to make money, and to get to that point you need to do everything yourself or you'll be spending too much out of pocket. My partner and I can create products, design, build sites, market and advertise, run warehouses, do our own accounting, etc... We haven't hired outside help for any of it.

Plaster bricks for modelling in a variety of scales have been around for a long time.
