Are these sets fake or real?  I checked the Lego S@H website with no matches
found. Any help would be appreciated.

Wow. If they're fakes, they're GOOD fakes. Given the fact that the 'canister'
orientation varies between shots, and there's little bits of the side art we
can't even see (like the blue/white whisp in the upper right of the 1st pictured
batmobile), I'd wager these aren't photoshopped images of canisters. More likely
(assuming they're fakes) that these were faked-up labels that someone printed
out and put on the actual canisters.

And of course if they're real, they're non-US sets since they lack the little
piece count in the corner (and if they're fakes they just were based off of
non-US packaging). I wouldn't be *terribly* suprised if Lego had some sort of
deal with the two batmobiles, but the Back to the Future and Blade Runner bits
would suprise me. Kids might be into the upcoming Batman flick, but the other
two movies are rather old-timey for kids.

Hello all, I was checking out all the new files on Brickshelf and came across this folder: (URL) these sets fake or real? I checked the Lego S@H website with no matches found. Any help would be appreciated. Scott Member 718 (20 years ago, 10-May-05, to lugnet.town)
