Nah those aren't resold official LEGO figures. Look at Lady Liberty's crown and mould-lines, those are clearly recasts of significantly lower quality. Hell, the shading on Liberty's drapery doesn't even line up with the edges.
So they are bootlegs. I'm not even sure what is worse.
Yeah, looking at the website, I can't help but feel that these guys are just taking the piss in order to cash in on dumbasses. Like, look at the Donald and Hillary pieces. Hillary actually looks nice and presentable, like a politician. (I mean in the prison one she's in a prison uniform, but she still looks happy and whatnot.) Trump looks like a squinting gopher monster. And with the "build the wall" set... why are they making Mexico look like such a fun and happy place? They've got a happy guy with maracas, some colorful banners, some ancient temples, some cacti, etc. And the rest of the "history's legends" set are... Chuck Norris, someone who fought for Irish independence, and a literal crusader? Then there's: https://keepandbear.com/collections/all-things-trump/products/trump-mom-mug https://keepandbear.com/collections/all-things-trump/products/trump-surfing-red-wave-print https://keepandbear.com/collections/all-things-trump/products/trumps-executive-orders-sticky-notes Either they're just cashing in on trumpets, or they legitimately have unbelievably terrible design choice.
Deffo more illegal.
Lego probably could sue on the ripped off artwork but the actual blocks aren't enforceable
Trump's face is fucking hilarious, it's almost mocking him.
I like it how Trump's figure looks constipated.
Blocks aren't, but the exact minifig design is.
It's not marketed to children, it's marketed to man-children. Well, at least it accurately depicts him being full of shit.
Yeah. If they're making bootlegs of official lego products, they might legitimately be in deep shit before long. Especially now that the Chinese government is actually siding with Lego against all the bootlegs manufactured in the country, since Lego themselves has a factory there now. They just ordered Lepin, the most notorious bootlegger, to destroy their entire stock of ripped-off sets.
Imagine being a kid on christmas opening presents and getting this boring ass shit. The box itself is funny as well, the Mexican part looks like fun and is colourful and then there's the boring gray wall with a constipated, ill-coloured legoman in front of it. Kid will wish he got the mexican part in stead.

It looks like someone who got laid-the-fuck-out in a bar-brawl.
They're also using LEGO minifig designs, which are property of LEGO. They can sue for that
cultists
this makes me think this has got to be a troll, just some wise-ass cashing in. and if so I entirely don't blame them.
propaganda aimed at children so they're riddled with trump filth at an early age disgusting
The new governor of Florida literally showed his son in an ad with an orange jumpsuit building the wall out of blocks.
Play quietly or there will be....trouble
lmao it's gone https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/619/a7440f29-0b1f-4bf1-a6c0-fcd19a49e04f/chrome_2018-11-16_18-02-16.png
Poles have already figured out this patriotic Lego thing, first off you need to put some effort in it. https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/1195/b2d499a8-bfb7-4656-8536-b6b7324db1fd/2.jpg https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/1195/4c2cf28f-5dcb-4174-964c-a3b04d324a1a/3.jpg So kids, who are you gonna dress up as this halloween? A Princess! Spiderman! Waclaw Micuta!
I know what your point was with this post, but on that subject: while Lego rightfully does not produce any toys based on realistic weapons of war, Lego itself has become so advanced over the last two decades that its become a legitimate alternative to traditional scale modeling - including RC models. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=diD5vK1uelM
Made in Mexico
Looks like they took down all the political sets. Very low energy. Sad!
That post was kind of tongue in cheek, I don't see other companies making military themed sets as a particularly wrong thing either (as much as I respect Lego's commitment on the matter). While we're at it, I can't help but to post probably the weirdest cross-promotion thingy I've ever seen: https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/1195/63ed65ae-f13e-4dc5-be18-2cc479d8ade4/k3djZatnlKiRlOvRlmRk,3034-front.jpg Uh, what?
It reminds me of the beginning of this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8-jQTJnXKY
A huge RC Lego Maus is something I never knew I needed in my life. Thank you.
Looks like a fallout ghoul.
How is that not a parody? It feels like it deliberately wants you to think "tear down the wall, i wanna see what's going on back there" with how colorful and detailed they made the background.
