So any chance do you think that these are not knock-offs?

I don't think they "have to be" knock offs but having 6,400 of a
promo set is a little suspicious.

Yeah I looked through the rest of the promotional ones and Charles Dickens Tribute
is 48(x36), Birthday Diorama is 72(x72), Flowerpot is 96(x48), just to name a
few. I'm thinking something super fishy going on here.

Not 6400, only 100 which you need to buy in multiples of 64.

100 copies sounds reasonable enough to get from such a set. That's not truckloads.

I tried adding in cart and it asked me to buy 64 sets in one shot. lol
I don't get the x64. is it a trick?
if first customer really buys 64 sets, then just 36 remains, not another 64.
second customer must go all-in on 36 sets, I guess.
so max 2 customers allowed to get rid of a truckload of lego sets.
is it valid economic strategy in this market?

its a bulk amount which is normal. you either have to buy the bulk amount or
the remaining qty so if bulk amount was 100 and seller had 250 in stock you could
either buy 100, 200, or 250. or 1 person could buy 100 and someone else buy 150
or someone could buy 200 and then someone else buy 50

In China, large families are considered a symbol of prosperity. Perhaps the seller
caters toward buyers with many kids. After all, their store motto is:

There's a LEGO factory in China, so it's possible that they're stolen.

Maybe the seller snuck them out 1 at a time in his lunchbox, like Johnny Cash
did with GMC car parts.

Probably all legit and sourced legally. Factories might sell overstock to certain
sellers in some countries or for some reason the seller could have gotten them
other way such as waiting outside the lego store and paying people X amount of
$ for the promo set and having others do that same at other stores
