that's rad, I want one, assuming it's not garbage quality. With Lepin's existence, it's no longer a guarantee than knockoff legos are poo poo trash for idiots, has anyone reviewed that thing?

Sadly, no. No reviews, none in stock and no listing when it'll be in stock. :(

Isn't the basic design of Lego public domain now? I recall seeing something about how other plastic-block companies are allowed to make them compatiable.

Also, I can;t see that thing atop the bokomon centre as anything other than a soda can.

I was googling this out of curiosity and found a Lego Ideas submission which is almost exactly the same but with a few slight differences in the Pokemon figures, the plants in the pots outside the door, etc etc. I wonder which one came first and which one is ripping off the other one.

Probably a safer bet that the bootleg is ripping off the ideas submission. Or at least, I've heard Lepin (Lego-knockoff) has been doing more or less just that.

Not sure if you were responding to me, but they're doing certain things to ape the Lego brand, (Red square logo with yellow font and the set number below)

The idea of Lego has been public domain for decades. Even when I was a kid it was easy to find compatible products from other companies.

That said, ever since Lego opened factories in China brands like Lepin have copied Lego's products wholesale, even down to the box design. When I was a kid it was always very easy to spot the knockoff brands, but it's much harder these days.

So how are these Lepin knockoffs? My brother has wanted that Death Star for ages but the price is crazy.

Word is they're like 90% on the mark, with the lego names filed off, the quality being nearly the same as the original legos, and sometimes some pieces are missing.

I got some aliexpress (no label) minifigs of various superheroes for friends as gifts, and the quality of them was pretty high. The only odd thing was each one came with 3 to 5 hands, so maybe those have a tendency to break?

Not a bootleg. Capt Action has been around since the 60s, and the whole gimmick was a dress up doll for boys with various licensing incarnations over the generations.

Not to mention they still make Captain Action and Capt America and Spidey outfits to go with them at retail. I see them at ToysRuS off and on throughout the year.


24 bucks on Amazon even, albeit not as cool as the old set which has way funnier accessories.

Concerning knockoff LEGO:
The quality these days is such that they may as well be identical. If you can get big sets for cheap, you can treat them as grab bags since they will probably not have every piece.

I'm constantly fighting the urge to spent a couple hundred on a big bucket and lose my social life.

There is little that makes me happier than taking drugs. Perhaps administering them, designing and carrying out experiments that bend the plane of what we consider reality.

Look, I know this is 4 pages ago, but I just spent at least five minutes unable to scroll down because I put my phone down so I wluldn't drop it while cackling madly, and every time I picked it up I was faced with that monstrosity again. All I could do was cry "I hate it, I hate it, I hate...!" over and over between laughter until my husband saved me.


What I'm saying is maybe nsfw that poo poo.
