| Hi,
I bought these 2 trunks from a seller in France.
The color is very different from the real brown of lego and they look fake too.
The also have seams and burrs
Can anybody say this is fake or not.
Thanks!!

| I had a look at the ones in my inventory, and although they do seem to have a
seam, it's not anywhere that obvious. Color seems indeed strange as well.
I can see a mark where the mold was at the bottom (smallest end), but there is
no mold mark at the top (widest end).
As there is no LEGO brand mark on this piece, it's hard to tell for sure.
But given all those elements, it's most likely not genuine. Seller might
not be aware he picked and shipped fakes (unintentional).

Copy brands are getting better by the year/month... besides the brand name stamped
on it, it is more and more hard to tell which is which.
It pushes purchases to buying New only or from trusted source, second hand is
by definition suspicious.
