DRINK ME posted:I finally did something I’ve been thinking about for a long time That's cool as - I've got a collection of Ali Legos I've been slowly working through before I move. I finally had a set (a succulent) come missing pieces, as well as one piece that was like, half melted from the manufacturing process I guess. I ordered it a year or two ago so it'd be kind of ridiculous to hit the seller up with a complaint, cost of doing business.   I've been eyeing the B-Wing for a while. Maybe after the move...

That’s a nice b-wing, I saw y-wing on ali too. Maybe once I’m finished the big build I’ll get a fleet to go with it but I’m going to hold off buying more until then.

Ali knockoff legos are rad considering they’re mostly good quality for like a quarter of the price of Lego. Just don’t tell a Lego fan that….or do cause it’s funny when they have a fit about it.

It’s not all cloned sets, there’s tons of original designs too from the multitude of companies that manufacture bricks.

Some of the designs from 'lego' sets on Aliexpress are stolen from individual, small time creators. If you want to go that route, maybe kick the real creator a few bucks? https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-29014/Dasadles/blade-runner-2049-ks-spinner/#details https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256...id=xV3YgcJ2dOvx

Goddamnit, I’ve been avoiding aliexpress due to being broke. But, like an idiot, I opened it up and ran into the 1.99 free shipping anniversary thing. A tiny dog lamp and an animal on a motor cycle are on their way, now. My 3rd item is a “bone conducting” earphone. Since I mainly will be using it to listen to audiobooks, it doesn’t have to sound great. I think the “pussy wagon” keychain sold out before I checked it. I do have a lot of cats.

A tiny dog lamp and an animal on a motor cycle are on their way, now. Just FYI, I've ordered some "bone conducting" earphones for my dad and some of them aren't actually bone conducting at all. They look like it and are called that on the site, but instead there's just a little hole for the speaker to make noise in the general direction of your ear. The others are legit though, so just double check the description and reviews.

Temu just hit me with a $5 credit that I didn't ask for because my order wasn't delivered before the projected date of the 24th. Thing is, it was delivered on the 22nd! Thanks Temu, I think I might be done with Aliexpress if they maintain this level of customer service. They ship way faster to Canada too.

Temu is unmatched for shipping speed and service, they just don’t have the wildly esoteric selection that a weirdo like me delights in. Also don’t let me haggle and come up with custom buys from vendors.
