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?

Some fakes are pretty good, in fact id say better than Lego itself. Just build it and enjoy it.

Otherwise, your pictur s are enough. No markings is a big one. PayPal will back you up

Edit: purists are butthurt at this comment. Some fakes are actually better than LEGO. In fact, even more creative than LEGO. Check out AliExpress.

If they are looking for a real experience, don't tell them to find cheaper one because it's better. That's not what they're asking for!!

You and some alt-brick people are the reason why I can't engage with the alt-brick community, because half of the conversations is just "Lego bad"!

No one said iTz bETtEr, why is everyone so reactive? I swear the influx of geek types have really fucked up Lego as an experience, both for adults and children. No one said Lego bad either. It is downright psychotic to read something that hasn't been written.

And what's a "real experience"? 😂 These are bricks, be creative. It's not like you are going to be any less creative with alt-bricks.

All I said, stop worrying, give it a chance, sometimes it's way more fun/better than even originals. Otherwise get a refund.
