Can't think of one of those from the top of my head...I presume they just randomly pull a bunch of designs from Lego fan sites, which has included an ED fan at some point.
Yeah, right...accidentally

Interesting then that the company in question also offers a selection of 40k kits...Games Workshop decided to go after anything and everything selling "not warhammer but actually warhammer" stuff from China, getting flak for catching many innocent makers in their dragnet. They can't go after AliExpress themselves, but do go after all the sellers, the current big injuctoon is filed in Florida so many US protections come into play. FDev really needs to do the sam, or end up losing their IP.
Which is why making it official would be a better route.I believe the more important thing would be, legally speaking, actively protecting your intellectual property. If a company doesn't, it might make it somewhere between more difficult and impossible to persue trademark infringements down the line.
I think the suggestion is that having a 800 pound Mandarin gorilla might be useful in negotiating a pleasant outcome....I doubt these models are sold by Tencent. Just because a Chinese corporation holds a share of your company that doesn't mean everyone in China can now infringe on your trademarks willy nilly. That happens even without a Tencent shareholder.
that sounds incredibly good valueFor ECM's big build this year we've downloaded the instructions and bought legit Lego parts for an entire giant T9.
The result, as built by the community during the event will be entering the raffle
Got the parts for under 200 quid delivered after searching hard, using a variety of sources through brick link etc
But they need to consider who they're getting in bed with...so to speak...I was looking at theirWhich is why making it official would be a better route.
'cos the're pirates?Don't let @Rubbernuke see those...
The thing to remember, is that although GW sells rules and models, theoretically you can use any models, except when playing at GW events or local GW shops. Between friends, who cares? Some of the best rules imo, are figure agnostic. You use whatever you want. Conversely, some of the GW ranges can be used with other rules as the figures like the LotR were good.
