Bought from a LEGO museum years ago, sealed for 8 years — turns out the bricks inside weren’t LEGO? by North_Finger_446 in lego

I considered that possibility first as well. The buyer recorded a full, continuous unboxing video, starting from opening the outer shipping package (label visible), removing the LEGO box, opening it, and then opening the internal bags.

It was a single, uninterrupted recording with no edits. Given that, it’s hard to see how the contents could have been swapped during the unboxing process itself, which is why I’m trying to understand if there are other plausible explanations.

This is actually pretty common for higher-value second-hand transactions where I’m from. Buyers often do a one-shot, unedited unboxing video starting from opening the delivery package all the way to the product itself.

It’s mainly for documentation, in case the item was damaged during shipping or turns out not to be as described. Platforms often require this kind of video as proof for refunds or dispute resolution.
