I can’t believe my luck. On a Sunday yawn-fest shopping excursion, me and H went to this shitty market and I found this knock-off Lego playset. I instantly knew it had to be from that batch of super real stuff that had been found and incinerated.

Enlighten Brick’s the name and they get top marks for production values, sheer gaul and for making a wierd, unsettling toy. Just look at it!

There’s just too much to take in, the dull military green, the red stars emblazoned on all the uniforms and vehicles, the HUGE electronic surveillance equipment, the toxic barrells, the fighter jets in the background, the strangling device in the commander’s hand and my favourite bit: the guns. The set comes with 2 automatic rifles and 2 handguns.

It’s just crazy. The manufacturers obviously weren’t trying to be creepy ( the hallmark of all good fake toys) so maybe this would sit right in China. Lego with guns. The overall quality of the packaging and individual parts are amazing, and the dope on the stall sold it to me for 8 Euro! He was a Chinese lad about the same age as me and when I went back to buy another one he said ‘No, No, you get good deal on other, This 25 Euro, you got good deal’ I looked at the others and they were 25 quid alright, his boss looking on unimpressed.

I put more pics and scans of it on my new Flickr account and will add more of my wonderful toy collection to it for everyone to see. I have some gems.

And of course, my Lego opus Mr. Amperduke.

UPDATE: Here’s more that I found
