I recently purchased a few LEGO sets, and I'm worried about the possibility of counterfeit products in the market. To ensure that I have genuine LEGO sets, I want to learn how to identify and authenticate them effectively. Are there any particular indicators or distinguishing factors I should be aware of when examining LEGO sets? I want to make sure that the sets I've invested in are authentic and not counterfeit replicas. Any guidance or tips on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Where did you purchase them from? Did you get a to good to be true deal? Are they new sealed sets? Post pictures including the seals, check weights.

Thank you for your prompt response and valuable guidance. I appreciate your concern and diligence in ensuring the authenticity of LEGO sets. I purchased the sets from a reputable online retailer, and while the deal was favorable, it wasn't too good to be true. The sets arrived in new and sealed condition.

I understand the importance of checking the seals, and I'll certainly provide pictures for a closer examination. Additionally, I'll take note of the weights as you suggested. It's reassuring to have a community that looks out for one another and values the authenticity of our LEGO collections.

I'll make sure to share the pictures and relevant details as soon as possible. Your assistance is immensely appreciated, and I'm confident that with the collective knowledge of the community, we can ensure the integrity of our LEGO sets.
