Hi there, I see that people are selling a big quantity of 1 figure which is
hard to get in the UK. Are all figures sold on this site Genuine? Regards
Adrian.

Some people have access to rare minifigs through unknown means including exclusive
figures that come in expensive sets.

The figures are genuine Lego, but may have been bought through questionable means
(such as runoffs from a factory). Others may have legitimate sources. It is
not something that BL follows up on.

Someone recently posted large quantities of rare figs in the US with 0 feedback,
and was shut down by BL. It's possible (although not very likely) that this
could be similar. Rely on feedback and pay safely.

I would assume most are legit but im sure some people may try things you have
to hope in the best of people.
