@smudges those are not “Lego” as made by the brand that made Lego. Those are blocks manufactured in China. They are really popular in my country right now because they are cheap and come with many models. That’s why you can see Chinese/Asian references in the photos the tiger with the orange hat is supposed to be a Year of the Tiger figure, and the calico cat is a dancing cat pen holder
Personally I really like them. They pay much more attention to details than the original Lego. My only complaint is that some blocks don’t stick to tightly together.
Ironically it was because of my students that I got into Lego. I bought some Lego boxes for my students as rewards, and I got one spare box left. I opened the box because I wanted to see what I actually bought for my students, and I got hooked :)
