I think I have enough official stuff and 'traditional' customs that I'm allowed to have a bootleg if I want one. I've photographed bootlegs of customs and clearly stated that until someone pad prints me a custom on official pieces then I'll keep the bootleg. I wouldn't worry about it. If they persist in commenting just block them. Just a question. What is Christo , Decool, OLS, Pogo ? They are just people who sells Batman figs and Iron Man figs without paying license fee to DC and Marvel, right? I don t understand the problem ... Buying a fig from Christo or buying a fig from Pogo isn t the same illegal act ? Edited November 23, 2016 by Sebiron ﾊﾞｶ!! Quote

From what I have gathered most people are fine with customs as they are typically very smalls runs of figures and they are done on TLG parts. Typcailly the IP of the characters is ignored due to the use of TLG parts, the bootleggers are normally looked down on for using Lego IP, not the company who owns the character. You will find some people that object to both though. Doesn't make sense to me at all but that's what I've gleaned over time. Quote
Mattyj82 Posted November 23, 2016 Posted November 23, 2016 Who cares. Spend your money on what you want. Im currently smooking a doobie watching a torrent of flash Might of even jay walked today. Quote
adalric Posted November 23, 2016 Posted November 23, 2016 (edited) Never publicly weighed in on this, because it's not like I'm going to be convincing anyone one way or another, but customizers are still infringing on copyrights (Marvel, DC, Harry Potter, etc.), just not LEGO. If this is a black and white issue, customizers are still in the wrong, and Marvel could go after them justifiably for profiting off of their intellectual property. Naming a custom minifig "platinum dude who rides a surfboard" or "american captain" instead of Silver Surfer or Captain America isn't going to make an IP lawyer go "Oh, well in that case, all is forgiven." The only reason they're not targeted is because customizers are a cottage industry with tiny batch runs and therefore don't have deep pockets. What I'm trying to say is that I laugh at those who think they have the moral high ground and scoff at bootlegs but are totally fine purchasing customs. Both are in the wrong.

mooproxy Posted November 24, 2016 Posted November 24, 2016 I got the full Dargo set and it definitely has a few quirks here and there. Not going to go into specifics or advertise the TLG designed figures, but the New 52 Superman and new Spider-man (I think) variant seem relatively solid. The printing is a little imprecise all around, but nothing I can't live with and nothing worse than you'd ordinarily expect from Dargo. Quote

My new 52 superman from Dargo was actually better than the one I got from DLP :/ Quote

And the dual-molded look on the legs really shows because the backs of them aren't printed. Quote

Collector Posted November 26, 2016 Posted November 26, 2016 Found this on Taobao. Looks like LELE is doing their own Pokemon Center, not as good as Decool's though. Quote
