While looking on ebay today, I saw several Lego sets, that upon closer
inspection  it is actually from a Chinese company.  Here is are some sample
links:

I am intrigued by these sets since they look exactly like official Lego sets but
they have no mention of "Lego" on the box so I am sure they are probably the
equivalent to pirated/bootlegged movies.  And if they are, are these old sets
being sold in Chinese stores today?  Any one else see these or any one have
additional info?

(...) "Enlighten" brand... I think thats the same brand name that TLC just crushed a bunch of in Finland (on the way to Russia). Looks a bit like someone took a real LEGO box, scanned the artwork, changed the company logo and put a new number on it. (...) (20 years ago, 2-Dec-04, to lugnet.general)
