@Tom Nolan: I clicked the link precisely to see how early in the comment thread someone made that joke
“Rego”
@David Daly: just about acceptable I think
@David Daly: hahaha
@David Daly: you are confusing Chinese with Japanese people. Irish people don’t like to be “confused” with British people.
@Vincent: how silly of me. And to think all these years I was going around like a big eegit thinking they were chinese. Thanks so much for clarifying.
Glad the officials have been able to piece this together
Is this true or just a load of blocks?
I thought learning to create your own was the whole point… :)
took a while to build a case
The puns are getting atrocious! Time to Lego and move on…
Break it up,break it up,nothing to see here
The ring leaders are in pieces now…
Sounds like a joke but this is big big business

No one constructive comment……
@John Brophy: Some fakin’ awful ones to be sure..
Bought some of this on Wish, didn’t know it was fake, best fakes I’ve ever seen. The Chinese, a great bunch of lads
Company has now been renamed..Leg It
Somebody call Emmett
Somebody refused to make a donation to the Shenzhen’s policemen’s retirement fund…
Police are working hard to put the case together… piece by piece…
Best thing about smashing a fake Lego ring is you can make something else with the pieces

They “dismantled” a fake lego ring bah ha ha very good
Reports have it that the snitch turned out to working for a rival Duplo cartel
Took 3 reads to grasp that headline.
Looks like it’s all gone to pieces for them now :(
But do they hurt like hell if you step on one?!
I dont own any – but was tempted as they make rare sets which are long discontinued by lego and by youtube reviews the quality is excellent. Much better then megablocks etc.
Something didn’t sit right..
I just ordered a lepin technics from AliExpress.. here’s hoping it arrives.
Great headline.
“china police” ? is this a new version of the ‘terracotta army’ !
One way to recycle those toxic plastics I suppose, with children ending up putting those fake goods right into their mouths?
Anyone old enough to remember Airfix Betta Bilda? It was the poor relation of Lego. No? Jaysus, I’m getting way too old…
Luke I’m not ur father I’m a fake da DNA TEST NEEDED
How is it possible even,to make a ring out of lego? Thought that the blocks are square.
I heard a fake Christie Moore song yesterday in Beijing. It’s called Night Prayer by Iridio
