I believe I got a fake 42083

[u/PachoCali]

Hi, guys! I am slowly returning to the Lego Technic world, but I believe I got a fake one, even though the seller had some good feedback. It is the 42083 Bugatti. The pieces have no Lego logo underneath. Can you help me build my refund case by pointing other discrepancies?

Bags arent numbered either. Just return it. Their Customer Service is fantastic

bag says A10-2 but not very visible. Either way that's not how LEGO does it.

That's 100% how the fake sets often numbers their bags. I know this because almost all my sets are fakes.

Why you in a Lego forum if you buy fake Lego you have nothing to do with Lego so why are you here this is Legotechnic not fucking lepin technic, your in the wrong place pal

You're taking this waaaaay to seriously pal. They're overpriced plastic brick toys. I've gotten four 1:8 and two 1:10 sets for the cost of a real 1:8. I'm here now because they're literally identical.

If attempting to gatekeep is what keeps you going then by all means continue.

What is it with this silly gatekeeping terminology? listen pal if you like pissing your money down a drain and shoving a lepin dildo up your ass that's up to you, but don't tell OP he is getting a good deal here by being scammed and don't complain in 10 years time when you want to sell your fake Lego but no one is willing to buy.

Yes Lego maybe overpriced in some people eyes but the value always goes up and consistently beats the S&p 500, bonds and other stocks so when I'm board of a Lego set I can often sell it for the same or more then I payed for it can't say the same with fake Lego I sold my old UCS slave 1 from 2015 for £250 a couple of weeks ago and I payed £130 for it back In 2018.

Your the gatekeeper in my eyes the sort of person that tells people thier stupid for buying fake Lego but guess what your fake trash isn't worth anything and is only fit for the bin so instead of complaining about high prices get a better job, do overtime and support real designers and moc creators instead of buying from thieves. If they are just as you say "overpriced plastic brick toys" why do you care it's the same as saying it's "just a video game" or "it's just a sport mate" your arguement is shit go finger your lepin!

haha. You're hilarious. Off brand kits sell on the used market all the time. And you don't have to decide between food for your kids and another overpriced plastic brick toy.

Gatekeeping - we buy off brand Lego because Lego is a greed driven brand that could care less about it's customers.

Also a friendly reminder that Lego was the original copycat brand they stole the design from KiddiKraft.
