This is all starting to sound like a conspiracy theory...
Someone already posted info from the seller that the bricks don't have Lego
molded onto the studs (or Dula for that matter), they freely gave up this
info indicating an ignorance of Lego.
I would tend to agree that the seller:
1. Doesn't know much about LEGO.
2. Did buy the set somewhere where IP is not strictly enforced (I'm not an
IP expert but the color scheme look and feel, and use of Dulaland may be a
little bit gray as far as trademark enfringment goes anyway).
3. Doesn't realize its a knock-off.
4. Doesn't intend to defraud anyone.
We already know that Lego imitations are manufactured, look similar to Lego
bricks, are made with inferior/unstable materials, etc. Bricks could be
purchased from existing manufacturers in one market, and repackaged and sold
in another.
Knock-offs with a similar look and feel happen. I was in Beijing a few
years ago and noticed a Jeep Cherokee. It looked like a Jeep from a
distance. When you looked at it up close, it appeared to have been reverse
engineered with a tape measure. The fit up on the sheetmetal was gross. In
some counties, pirating is a high form of flatery.
