Robianco Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 For me the best MKV is Christo's but thankfully the bootlegs have given us helmets aplenty. Looking forward to adding the new wave and upgrading any duplicate marks.
Robianco Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 people are stupid https://flic.kr/p/rhMAfY How much are they charging for The Thing bigfig below it?!
Amset-Rah Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Oh man, I've seen these markups all over eBay, to where I might as well take my business to Aliexpress. I can understand customs costing that much, but this is low.

gauz Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Not superheroes but it looks like they are going after other lines. Ghostbusters http://www.aliexpress.com/item/2015-new-arrival-Free-shipping-4pcs-lot-limited-ghostbuster-minifigures-building-block-figures-classic-toys-compatible/32297675795.html Batmobile too http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Free-ship-BATMAN-1966-TV-SERIES-BATMOBILE-iron-man-Red-LIMOUSINE-Roadster-DIY-enlighten-block-building/32297655732.html
Amset-Rah Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Looks like Enlighten is the make for the '66 Batmobile, but who could be doing the Ghostbusters?
bosondehiggs Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 better seller for ghost buster if some want to try http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Free-shipping-2015-new-arrival-4pcs-lot-limited-Ghost-buster-minifigures-building-block-figures-compatible-with/32297050265.html
Borex Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 I think if you want to buy the ghostbusters bootlegstyle (if you dont have the official ones already :-s) you should wait for more sellers. Plus i think these figs arent available yet. And nobody wants that superblockdrama again, right?

There seem to be a lot of new ones popping up lately.
jangosolo Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Hmm, its almost worth a superblocks stress/wait for the Ghostbusters at £3.59 - superb value! Not so sure about the Batmobile, when I picked up the Tumbler for under a tenner - I reckon you could easily bricklink the 66 mobile for half of what that seller is asking!

Not so sure about the Batmobile, when I picked up the Tumbler for under a tenner - I reckon you could easily bricklink the 66 mobile for half of what that seller is asking! That batmobile is very pricey. The SY Batmobile and Decool's Tumbler can both be had for about £13 with figures.
Amset-Rah Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Yeah that was my plan, bricklinking that particular model of the Batmobile in parts. $44 is a bit much for a model like that, bootleg or genuine. Kind of odd they'd release Ghostbusters bootlegs yet leave Back to the Future out in the cold. Speaking of which, eBay seems to have more marked up bootlegs but they say "custom printed" and whatnot. Not sure if I dig it. I went ahead and gave Aliexpress to get the Sheng Yuan Fantastic Four, though I'm going to replace Thing with Decool's big fig Thing.
Amset-Rah Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 At least their big fig Thing to me is better. The minifig Thing is crap, but I like the molded in lines and the color scheme is more comic-like/cartoony. He's really the only of the Fantastic 4 which surpasses Sheng Yuan, though I love the moving head, I'm just used to the Lego Marvel game design, which is what Decool did. SY did the rest of the Fantastic 4 justice in terms of the game design, though I'll have to fix the boot printing or just replace the legs.

I think the SY Bigfig Thing, is literally a "thing" of beauty - I love the job they did on his skin. On a slightly different note, I just found a store who seems to be having a fire sale on some of the 8pc Figure selections http://www.aliexpres...e=price_asc&g=n Some amazing deals - such as SY 8pc Avengers for £2.38! I may have put in a couple of orders... Yep.. 24 figs for £6.80 - yeah, that's quite nice Edited March 12, 2015 by jangosolo

Robianco Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Some of those look like a very good deal... the SY Avengers, FF, Young Justice and Guardians for a start. £2.30 for the set of Knights is also pretty good. For some reason the top listing for the Superman set looks a bit weird... almost like a Lele copy of an SY set. There's also an Iron Man set that looks the same. I recently picked up a new SY Superman set for just 2 torsos... It was actually worth it as I now have a Bizarro which is basically perfect, although I've bought the Christo version which is TOTALLY perfect... but the new Black Superman torso with the rounded shoulders is also bang on so I'm satisfied with that copy of the SDCC figure.

Be intrigued to see what they're like. Am I the only who like's getting 'bad' figures?

Amset-Rah Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 I might have to snag me those Young Justice figures. I already have the SY Fantastic 4 and Decool Phoenix coming in soon, and Deadpool got a new head today that's a vast improvement (The Decool head is now going for a Red Hood custom) They're practically giving these sets away.
Borex Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Til when are these 50%? Want to buy a few for a kid of a friend
wickedlemon Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Til when are these 50%? Want to buy a few for a kid of a friend Their blocks section's gone now. They're still selling other stuff at 50% though so I hope they just ran out of stock. Cross fingers that the orders ship ok. Those prices were silly so I'll be be relieved when the status changes to shipped.
Krikkit Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Got to say the new Groot is pretty good. Custom LEGO Style Groot
