Yes, and how big the margin would be.  It could quite easily be real DUPLO,
designed to compete with the Fisher-Price Castle.  As far as its not having
"LEGO" on the studs, most of them look hollow as DUPLO tends to be; furthermore,
those elements simply do not exist in *any* known building system which would
tend to militate against it being a spoof.

Besides, don't you remember the initial response to early reports of
KNIGHONICLE™ figures?  It was not dissimilar.  I would wager these are the real
deal.

It wouldn't shock me.  But, if you look at the castle front, it is 32 studs
(regular) across the front of the tan baseplate.  That'd make it something like
48 studs across the whole front.  That seems quite big to me.  (mind you, it is
a $130-150 cdn set too...).  It just doesn't quite seem right to me...perhaps I
am too much of a old school lego purist...
