Okay, these aren't the real Legos...just another generic building block brand. Of course the brand isn't as important as the model that comes with this set. Is it just me or does the big ship resemble a certain spacecraft used to drop Space Marines from space. And yes, the other do look like they may be piloted by some sort of AI/robot being seen on a Sci-Fi channel show.

The company that makes these is called Best-Lock. I've seen this set at a Toys R Us in Bridgeport, WV. It was on sale for $29.99.

EDIT: Hmmm...should I buy the set? It might make a nice novelty item after the company is sued out of business.

Could be worse, after seeing the amount of counterfeiter from china , im not surprised to
see rip offs / infringed items anymore. We have chinese night market in my city, it have counterfeits for even
warhammer stuff. I laughed so hard at other threads when people dont believe me . Though of course its not
labeled as warhammer.

just some example:

Looks like a pretty generic dropship type thing to me, apart from the raised tail and a front designed like a landing craft it doesn't really share much in common. Except being square, but its lego, everything is square in lego.

Incidently the LEGO patent has long since run out, anyone can legally make compatible building blocks as long as you don't copy recognisable parts or logos.

Darth Vader on a police scooter? Just plain wierd.

The front looks sorta Thunderhawk-esque, but other than that it's pretty generic.

My buddy has one of those, and it isn't thunderhawk size. Much smaller.

You could make that without buying chinese knock-off Lego. The pieces are pretty generic and you could just buy some Lego and make one that looked more like a thunderhawk than that does. And support real Lego.
