Help - Is this really Lego

[Hoboman]

I hope this is the right place for this post.

Is this Dinosaur really a Lego item, if so what set did it come in?

There have been grey ones, coming in the largest Johnny Thunder Egypt set.

Close 'Clone O'Patra' but, like 'MacK' said, "it's a mishmash of parts".

It's a tricky one. What I found based on this ones colors, its this part with the top head piece of this part on top of that part with this tail on this base. Someone got creative but, yes these are verified Lego parts, whew

Thank you all so much.

Pardon my ignorance, but like some other products, is there fake LEGO coming out of China and therefore is there any risk with buying via eBay?

Mixed lots sometimes carry the risk of compatible brand and bootleg parts. Sometimes a picture can clue you in, many figures are really easy to spot and certain hallmarks on bricks can reveal whether they are 100% LEGO product. If you're ever concerned about a lot you find and can't figure it out yourself, message me (the user foremerly known as Queen of the Clone brands) I'll be happy to help

I buy 90% of my sets from eBay, around 15 or so a month, with no sets having "hidden" pieces unless stated in the description. Like 'Peppermint_M' said, buying bulk lots run that risk. Most members selling bulk lots know whats in the mix. Its usually parents selling off their children's collection assuming its all Lego where you may find other parts.
