Except these are genuine bricks with the LEGO logo on them. So the "like
Lego" or "not Lego" doesn't apply. I've seen bricks like these before,
they're strange beasts... They don't fit with either Lego or Duplo bricks,
but they're definitely genuine 'LEGO' (although they made by Samsonite...)
The stuff he's selling is genuine, and legitimate. I know, because I've got
many of the same items in my personal collection...
