(And even if if the box did say LEGO it could still be counterfeit.)

Don't get taken by this auction.

IT'S A FAKE!!

And what is more it is fraud and he can be reported to the internet and
consumer fraud department. Most Likely this gentleman took a falcon • fortress
and made a total fake with supplemented parts. Infact I wouldn't doubt it • if
the person who wins doesn't even get it, or something close to it. It • would
be
a waste of money to spend on such an obvious hoax. what is more is if you • look
at the name he changed to DULA in order to avoid fraud on the part of it • being
lego parts.

My advice and $1 worth is STAY AWAY FROM IT! or you'll be sorry!

Its just common sence which isn't common at all!

For all of you who are speculating about the castle set on ebay, I think I have the answer!  I emailed the guy who is auctioning it off and at first he told me that "dalu" is Arabian for "lego"!  Since he didn't say anymore, I emailed him again and asked that he check the bricks and let me know if they had lego stamped on them.  He wrote back and said they didn't!  He said that they didn't have anything on them!  Therefore, I think we can safely say that these are not true lego pieces!  Dalu is obviously
a clone of some type!  I'm just surprised that we haven't heard of it before.
enjoy!
