Did you get a refund from GW? And can I ask how you were tipped off that it was
fake ?
thanks for any info provided.

I'd say the price was the tip-off...

The box looks real - it's the first time I've seen a fake set with the
LEGO logo reproduced. But those figures definitely look fake. I wonder if it
is a fake in a genuine box.

It is the complete set copied almost 4k pieces . None of the bricks say lego
on them. even the stickers look real minus the china stamp on back. I'm afraid
once this is returned it will just be put back into circulation .

| I’d warn them that it is counterfeit and they might be in legal trouble if they
knowingly try to sell it again.

| Generally lots of overpriced, over-weighed, off-brand (or counterfeit), and dirty/smokey
stuff. I saw 1 listing supposedly for the modular Bookshop that had just the
box and a few bags of solid colors (obviously not from that set) that went for
over $100. I've also seen listings with a couple of hundred figures in very
blurry pictures, but very obviously counterfeit (as in the pic in this thread
with sealed, disassembled figures) go for over $1,000. Crazy what people will
pay and how little they know about Lego.
Local marketplaces where you can see what you get before you pay are probably
still the best way to find cheap used Lego.
