Possibly. But there are a lot of Lego-compatible third-party bricks out there, and lots of people online selling kits made from non-Lego bricks.
I generally have no problem with this, as it allows certain types of kits to exist that Lego wouldn’t otherwise make. It’s no longer my bag, but for example Lego generally avoid military models, but third-party Lego-compatible sets fill the void.
On the other hand, Lego are—to my knowledge—the only brick manufacturer licensed to produce Star Wars kits, and this company is advertising a Tie Bomber.
Lego doesn’t currently make such a kit, but you can’t go around selling Star Wars kits without having a certain flair for playing very fast and loose with IP. Which leads me to want to double-check before placing any order for any kit.
I’m not saying that other bricks are bad, but I do want to know exactly what I’m buying before making a decision.
