I was thinking this, too. Lego now uses the "<-o->" symbol. Not to mention
that the stickers are poorly applied, and Lego doesn't even use stickers for
the door symbols anymore (I think, they didn't with 4558).

Right, too much reflection, for one. Also, 4450 used a wide angle lens,
causing it to "bend".

6676 Mobile Command Unit. The map is still on the appropriate part, too! 4424
also has a gray treasure chest (which I find suspect), and 4450 has the train
schedule from 7824, still on the three white 1x4 bricks.

Yup, and the parts don't seem to fit together well.

Actually, it is a good idea. More flexibility in making layouts.

Yup.
Also, Old torsos are in these, even when lego has newer "versions". And the
points images are mirrored copies of each other, IMO.
Certain parts are too pixelated, the letters are too clear (no grays, like
you'd get in a real scan), same with the red dot in the train lego (which is
too large), etc. There is *no* doubt in my mind that these are fakes.
