Was excited to buy "new sealed" discontinued star wars set on behalf of my son at what I thought was a fair price. Posted positive feedback immediately because item was sealed and appeared to be in authentic packaging. All logos present with circled R and tm etc. Upon inspection of parts even noticed "LEGO" on all studs. However edges were sharper than genuine parts, also in general parts felt lighter, minor differences in shapes of familiar elements. Amazed at the attention to detail of the fakers. But, in my heart of hearts I know it's a fake set. Instructions and promotional items all there etc. I don't think my son even knows or cares. I've also compared the seals and box to "youtube speed build" of the same authentic set and noted differences in seals and packaging(e.g. barcoded box seals). Is there a way to report a seller if you believe they are selling fake sets? I would like to report this person so that others don't fall victim as I have. I would never want to pass this set or it's elements on as authentic. I don't even care to fight for my money back, but I don't want this to happen to others. It has eroded my trust in bricklink at this point. Thanks for listenting to my rant, Duped in NC I agree with everyone in this thread, I have never seen a fake with the LEGO logo. Please share photos of all the variations that you suspect are not genuine.
