I'm not sure that thing is a fake or not, but the minifigs really get me; just
why do they look like that? It doesn't seem as though TLG would alter the
minifigs in a set (as already established, this one looks like Black Falcon
Fortress). That logo change, upon pondering, does seem a little fishy, too.
I'd stay away from it, simply because I can't tell if it's authentic lego
material.
