Wait, there are even people selling fake lego?

I'm seriously tempted by the fake Millennium Falcon (the original). Only £154 compared to the near £5k price tag they're going for now.

Of course, what don't the Chinese rip off. I have no issue with it. Most of the people in this thread display it so if it looks good it really won't make a difference.

If it builds ok I will get the SSD to start with.

I've got the lego tumbler and force awakens falcon from Ali express, can't fault them.

The falcon was £25 quid delivered, if anyone wants any pics uploading let me know.

I wanted to dip my toe into the lego world (because of this thread) and only wanted certain "sets", thought it was a good way to try them out, now I'm into lego (official)

I'd recommend them for someone starting out

Currently trying not to spend 80 quid on the Ali express version of the ghostbusters building + car

How does it look compared to your real sets?

I'm fine paying for the real deal, but i'd also like to buy like 10,000 bricks so i can start doing MOC's. Everything internal can be an Ali Special.

Sorry, can you upload a pic?

dannyjo22 · 12 Oct 2016 at 17:56

Yes please upload the pictures, how does it feel and click together in comparison?

Give me a bit and I'll upload a build diary - in the most part the bricks were fine, however some did require "coaxing" to stick together

The Falcon Build - Ali Express

£25 quid delivered

Took 35 days to be delivered - no box - instructions were excellent (full on lego instructions)

Quality - 7/10 - some bricks were "Sticky" when placing together, however no issues at all - even spare bricks were provided

Final "Look" - 9/10 - Can't tell the difference (my mate has the official version) - I'd highly recommend them, really enjoyed the build, and will be getting the Porsche GT3 (35 quid) next, or the Ghost busters one. They are certain sellers to go for, I can recommend if anyone is after them. My advice, I ordered a smaller version of the tumbler (batman) for £7 quid to try it out, and was happy with the quality, buy a small set first and see, if you like it, then go for the sets you actually want

dannyjo22 · 12 Oct 2016 at 18:18

That actually looks pretty damn good. I'm going to dip my toe in and try one. Wonder if they do the space shuttle...

Begbie · 12 Oct 2016 at 18:24

That looks decent, can you link to the seller you recommend? Or even trust. Thanks

ONESHOTKILL · 12 Oct 2016 at 18:31

Only ordered it on Wednesday last week

I feel dirty but if all is OK...I may have to! Let us know how it is!

DampCat · 12 Oct 2016 at 22:22

Yeah i feel dirty but i want to start doing MOCs and maybe a few of the unavailable UCS kits.

Eurgh.

To balance it out i just ordered the Disney Castle from the lego store.

plasmahal · 12 Oct 2016 at 22:35

I might buy that for a friend who is a big Beatles fan, but personally it does nothing for me.

Theres a review site on facebook, advises what sets are worth it and what parts are missing etc.

Though the porsche review on youtube, makes it look almost like a 1:1 copy :eek:

I bought from a seller on Ali Express.

they gave two options one with a fake box with star wars spelt incorrectly or just the bricks in plastic bags. I went for the just in bags.

I have just had to pay £3 import duty as the waybill was labelled toy bricks.

Will take some pics tomorrow of the state it arrives in. I have downloaded the instruction manuals from original set worst case its all in one bag an i have to spend ages sorting, best case they go with the numbered bag system.

Oh my, i didnt even know this was a thing, it seems "Lepin" is the "brand" ...... oh oh oh they have a GT3 for $84 ! :eek:

quickshot89 · 13 Oct 2016 at 10:52

How are the minifigs in these sets?
