Enlighten bricks

Over at Krapple, someone noticed that one of Chris's Lego sets is in fact a ripoff and it's likely that Bob and Barb pasted the LEGO logo over the ripoff logo. --Champthom 22:45, 25 September 2009 (CEST)

Never thought it'd see 启蒙 Brick and Chrissy in the same website, let alone same picture. The notion that Bob would alter the logo to read LEGO is odd, but possible. It's more likely his dad got duped by buying it in an immigrant run toy store. That, or he bought it online (which I doubt even though he is good at cutting the internet down). Or one of the various toy stores in Charlottesville got duped.

But yeah, it's a common practice for third parties to alter product logos to fool silly westerners into thinking a product is produced by a notable brand instead of being a cheaper knock-off. --Ror 00:36, 26 September 2009 (CEST)

  • Indeed. I know the local 99 cent store sells counterfeit Yu-Gi-Oh cards (99 cent for one of those two double decks, yet you can tell it's clearly not official) in addition to brands like "Panasemic" and "Somy" brand batteries that look nearly identical to "Pansaonic" and "Sony", so now that you mention it, it's possible someone is going to the trouble of making knockoff Lego products look like the real deal. --Champthom 00:42, 26 September 2009 (CEST)

To do

Probably mention the use of Legos, like in some of his DVD stuff, and point out the Legos in Chris's room. Also, talk about the Lego CWCville (there's quite a few pictures from the DVD Slideshow). --Champthom 16:55, 28 August 2009 (CEST)
