I'm fairly certain these are extremely cheap knockoffs.
Despite what the seller says, LEGO does not license anyone
else to produce its sets; I would not be surprised if the
eventual buyer is very angry with their purchase. IF TLC
is listening to this, they may want to know that the seller
states that this *is* a product officially sanctioned by
LEGO. It's not.
That said, look at the picture: What's with the grey
cannon, and the cowboy who besides being in a Forestmen set
is much smaller than the Forestmen? I sense a great deal of
photoshopping going on.
