So uh, do you think that Lego will have a problem with this:
Taken from an online store.
Especially when you compare it with:
Set
number 6256?
I thought Lego just came down on this company for ripping off it’s product?

thread.
Hmmm, case of don’t care so try again? Would selling from a different
reseller/importer make a difference? This seller is in Hong Kong so that may
create some kind of loop hole? (but I doubt it.)
Interesting.
Looks as if you were wanting to get a copy of this stuff
there is a venue by which to get it.

Hi Mark:
As far as I know, this particular knock-off set is at least a few years old,
so I’d think that it was probably included in the recent lawsuit (and should
have been discontinued, I suppose). I’m not familiar with this online seller,
however; is it possible that this set represents some stock previously
distributed by the wholesaler but still in the retailer’s inventory? Maybe is
just old stuff that hasn’t been liquidated yet?
I’m not sure about the difference that a change of reseller/importer might make
from a legal standpoint, but I wonder if this is just a case of a seller who has
stock and hopes to liquidate it regardless of the case against the supplier?
Thanks for the info in any case. Pirated products hurt both LEGO and LEGO’s
legitimate competitors, and I’d be happy to see them vanish. On the other hand,
“Brick” obviously has some skill at mold-machining, and they do engage in some
original set design, so I don’t know why they can’t simply shift their focus to
making a legitimate competitor brand.
Dave!
