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.

(...) Can you prove it is? It doesn't look like a fake. If it is then it is a really good fake. The only thing I find out of place other than the set itself being very skimpy is that the "dalu" logo is not aligned in the center of the red square. (...) (27 years ago, 1-Jan-00, to lugnet.castle)
