Those were not real sets and were never sold. They were made by an artist
who had TLC to back one of his projects. If I recall correctly, he was
originally supposed to build a hospital, but that somehow turned to a

Hmm, still , sounds pretty strange to me - boxes etc.  If they backed him up
with hospital or whatever like they haven't seen what they were producing -
I mean someone (who is not blind) had to made all the boxes etc. if that
was him - and he used TLC nam, logos and everything why didn't they sue
him , on the other hand if they build those things upon his idea they could
have
been aware of the result before even "putting the ideas into machines"  ?
