>>5914117The mold, and setting it up is where all the expertise and expense goes. You don't change molds just to make some bootlegs on the sly.
Also, almost every bootleg I've tried uses slightly different plastic. It's either, softer, harder or the colors are slightly different.
The only evidence I've ever seen supporting your theory is overlap in sets between different chinese brands, where one company expands its range by sourcing sets from another and just changing the label on the box (and I've only seen that once)
pic vaguely related. It's an Enlighten car made with one of Lego's top secret 5 wide car baseplates at 3am.. in China.
