Rudders Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 (edited) In this auction of various minifigs & bits 'n' bobs ebay auction 230616321810 there are some strange minifigs I don't recognise, I've done a rudimentary search on Bricklink but can't find them, can anyone tell me if they're genuine Lego or not? Edited May 5, 2011 by snÉŸná´š Removed the aberrant apostrophe from the title Quote
Peppermint_M Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 That lot has some Sluban or other generic clone brand figures mixed in with a bunch of random parted minifigs. All the guys in blue are clone, there are 8 total full clone and one that is a Lego clone mix. Hope that helps Quote

Now I look at them again I can see the feet are obviously different, something to watch out for! Now my only dilemma is I was going to bid on a job lot of Lego the same seller had but I might find that is also full of cloned Lego... Hmmm what to do? Quote
fred67 Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 "It is a mixed lot and has been sorted and is Lego not Megablocks." Someone should tell him, then, it's NOT all LEGO (assuming he's honest and didn't already know, which seems more and more doubtful on Ebay). Quote
Peppermint_M Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 Well, they don't say Megablocks on them and they aren't actually Megablocks bricks. Very few people seem to understand that there are other brands out there and "if they don't look like Lego they must be Mega but if they don't look like Mega they must be Lego" is a thought many have. I reckon about 75% of this forum wouldn't know what the very first Mega brand figs looked like, as it is a lot of people only know the Dragons era figures, possibly the TMNT and Power Rangers ones. Then there is of course the PotC, Halo and Marvel mini-action figure style ones that are better known due to the popularity of Halo. So a seller without much AFOL knowledge would happily sell figures like that as Lego, becuase that is how they look. Quote
