KCMatze Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 Ugh...two sellers for the Future Foundation set that don't ship to Germany. Boooo!!
itMFtis Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 I'm trying to work out exactly what is available from Sheng Yuan. Here's what I've got so far: Can anyone help fill any of the gaps? SY160 - Wrestling figs (WWE)

kid Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 Future Foundation now down to $6.41. Still no shipping to Germany. http://www.ebay.com/itm/380958584679?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
Robianco Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 Future Foundation now down to $6.41.

I saw one the other day that apparently didn't ship to the UK... But it then had shipping costs and times to the UK!
kid Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 Thanks - That is good advice. I already ordered mine (I don't live in Germany) but I saw someone else was looking for a seller that does ship to Germany.
agoodfella77 Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 (edited) So I got my Future Foundation set today. I have combined a few pieces here and there -- both LEGO and customs pieces from other makers. Future Foundation v.1 [GROUP] [CUSTOM] [MOC] by agoodfella77, on Flickr Build Details: Most of the parts are from the latest Decool release (FF), namely: - Human Torch (Head and Torso from CustomBricks, Flame Head from Infearno, legs from FF Decool) - Thing (FF) - Mister Fantastic (FF), Head is LEGO and Hair is a custom - Invisible Woman (FF), Head and Hair are LEGO - Spidey (FF), Head is from Sheng Yuan People "diss" the Chinese makers products, and some of that criticism is deserved -- for instance, I understand when folks get upset when they do complete rip-offs of customizers work. Next, the quality can definitely be hit or miss. Having said all of that, there are times when it fills a void / niche with designs not on the market such as these Future Foundations figs (Odin is another example). The SDCC replicas are another good example of supplying much needed demand. On balance, all of the figs I received this round are very solid. Printing is quite good. I think Decool's quality is improving with each release. Finally, you can't argue with the price. My entire original Decool Future Foundation (including the big FF Thing) set was roughly $12 bucks (not including Human Torch and my original LEGO parts / custom parts).

Kire Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 That infearno headpiece is a serious must have for human torch. Anybody seen the SY lab set or the X jet set for sale yet?
Borex Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 That infearno headpiece is a serious must have for human torch. Anybody seen the SY lab set or the X jet set for sale yet? I thought it wasnt allowed to talk about bootleg sets overhere anymore. We can only discuss the figs i believe.
Kire Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 I thought it wasnt allowed to talk about bootleg sets overhere anymore. We can only discuss the figs i believe. Oh nevermind then.
itMFtis Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 Is there another thread for discussion of the bootleg sets?
Robianco Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 I think once someone takes the plunge... That's assuming they do... And picks up those sets then I think it will be worth opening. I plan on picking up the official X Jet soon... I think any discussion needs to have a comparison rather than just a 'look at this' type of thing.
agoodfella77 Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 I thought it wasnt allowed to talk about bootleg sets overhere anymore. We can only discuss the figs i believe. Is that an "official" rule? Can someone confirm or clarify?
robuko Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 I'll have to warn you people: if this thread turns from discussing minifigs and comparing them to customs toward a third party sets discussion, I'll have to move it to Community or close it. Maybe it would be better to keep the minifigs here and open a new one for the sets themselves (and bricks quality) in Community? Confirmed
TheLegoExperience Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 (edited) Edit: I didn't see the post above. Edited July 26, 2014 by TheLegoExperience
kid Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 Is there a thread that does discuss custom third party sets?
Kire Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 Can someone make a thread to discuss the Decool and Sheng Yuan counterfeit sets?
agoodfella77 Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 (edited) Is there a thread that does discuss custom third party sets? Wondering the same thing. Can someone make a thread to discuss the Decool and Sheng Yuan counterfeit sets? +1 I fully support this idea. Let's face it, it's a very popular topic and people want to discuss it, there might as well make a proper thread to have a discussion about it. Edited July 28, 2014 by agoodfella
LuxorV Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 Any of you can open a dedicated topic in the Community section of the EB forums. No need to keep asking for one here.
Kire Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 Here is a link to the Decool and Sheng Yuan topic I've recently started. http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=98277#entry1951618
KCMatze Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 Yeah, I managed to get a Future Foundation set for only 4$, shipping included, that is good news for me! Does anyone have suggestions for head replacements for Mr. Fantastic, Invisible Woman and Johnny Storm (flame-off-mode)? I went through bricklink but you all know there are 1 billion heads
Robianco Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 This is what I used Mr Fantastic: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=3626cpb563 Susan Storm: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=3626bpb416 Johnny Storm: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=3626bpb288
KCMatze Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 Thanks! Mr. Fantastic and Susan are great! Think I might like a closed mouth for Johnny better... but this is also on my wanted list now :-P
Robianco Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 The smile just seemed the right kind of 'cocky' that Johnny Storm seems to me. I'm always happy to replace it with something better if you find it though! ;)
BlueberryWaffles Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 Thanks! Mr. Fantastic and Susan are great! Think I might like a closed mouth for Johnny better... but this is also on my wanted list now :-P I used the bank guard from the DC sets, looks like the game.
