too far-fetched that they'd have 200k hands, but I guess it was enough to
suspend the store

I had no idea running a website where you ripped off Star Wars IP (Disney) that
LEGO pays good money for is a legitimate business model.
We are not talking about a small amount of pieces. There is a review of the guy's
warehouse on Beyond the Brick's Youtube channel.
As to the hands, I have no idea if they are legitimate or not, but I don't
believe people who violate Fair Play belong on this platform.

Like it or not, you can't just steal people's (or companies' IP.
Practical side effects include:
- Devaluing legit parts and figures on this site.
- Flooding the used/bulk after market with cheap knockoffs. This in turn raises
sellers' costs to acquire legit goods.
- Lower profits lead to smaller store closures and decreased competition among
stores which in turn leads to less variety and availability of parts for buyers.

| | | Where is this energy when it comes to sellers acquiring official Lego minifigures
in bulk from illegitimate sources (aka minifigs stolen/illegally produced within
the Lego factory in Mexico & perhaps another one overseas) and selling them here?
|
What energy?  I had a short reply to a forum comment.
I think selling stolen Lego figures is worse than selling stolen IP. Why would
you think I don't? This comment from you is akin to me asking: "Where
is this energy when it comes to armed robbery of Lego stores!!!" Of course
it's wrong, but it has nothing to do with what I was commenting on.

| I literally started my response with this:

just a response to this comment: "NOOOO YOU CANT DESIGN YOUR OWN MINIFIGS!

I specifically said I had no comment on the minifigure hands and was only responding
to your sarcastic comment that implies it's fine to steal from large companies.
Disney is not shy about going after copywrite and trademark violators. However
there are literally thousands of people stealing from them every day. Just because
they don't go after every single one of these small time thieves, does not
make it ok to steal.

I sent an email to the Disney IP team. We'll see what kind of response I
get.
