Based on the photos posted by buyers in feedback section of Taobao, those figures were not knockoff products. We speculated the sellers could have gotten the figures directly from employees working at LEGO factory in China. However it’s questionable whether the goods are obtained legally. At the point of writing, no knockoff Carnotaurus and Corellian Hound available.

This create unfair advantage over those sellers on bricklink whom part out the figure from the LEGO sets to sell. Also for collectors of figures, they would skip purchasing the sets and buying the figures directly from sites such as Taobao and Ebay. Perhaps LEGO shall upgrade the security at its factory to prevent more figures being smuggle out.

Please don’t ask us for link to those Taobao shops. That’s why we deliberately block out the water mark on those photos to prevent people from identifying the shops. Thank you for the understanding.
