petamas Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 Attention all Batman Vs Superman fans :D :clap: :clap: I can't see your picture. :(
briksen Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 I'm still waiting for the set with the dodgy grievous, paid £3 so no biggie if they are really crappy!!! Try not to be too snobby with these new company's that come out might just find a diamond in the rough!!! I'm not snobbish, but I've seen real photos of that set and it really don't worth the money...
dirk Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 Thanks for the feedback guys, I think I will pass on the JR star wars set, however I did pick this one up ...it's too cheap not to. http://www.ebay.com/itm/371525437463?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT anyone else get this one?
briksen Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 (edited) that one is very good. https://www.facebook...690344717849229 the price must be an error though, normal price for that is something like 4.5$ look at the description : Package included: 1Set(6pcs) it's still very cheap Edited January 28, 2016 by briksen
TK924 Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 (edited) Here's a video review (not mine) on some of the latest BL figs. . Edited January 28, 2016 by TK924
deskid Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 The worst sets i ever had were a 12 piece with magneto,the thing,green arrow,flash and an early quicksikver, had bad early SY style legs with extra holes in!!!! Awful prints but one or 2 useful helmets!!!. The next worst had to be a lego movie set with emmet,wyldestyle etc and a random silver surfer, quality was shocking but whacked em on ebay and someone paid over £20!!! Felt kinda bad, but listed real photos and the buyer was over the moon!!! Maybe they were making a lego zombie movie!!!!

Yes superb set that - pics are a few pages back. That price can't be right though? mad
Captain Britain Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 Yes superb set that - pics are a few pages back. That price can't be right though? mad 85p delivered for all of that.. Is that 12 minifigs total or just 6? Either way decent! Has anybody ordered?
briksen Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 (edited) that price can't be right, but I still bought it... let's wait to see what happens now... by the way, I never received that tumbler for 11€ Edited January 28, 2016 by briksen
deskid Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 Ahh the tale of the €11 tumbler, i can finally open a request for money back tomorrow!!! Been checking the sellers feedback and its been getting more and more negative!!!! Nothing lost but was looking forward to the build!!!!
briksen Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 in fact i've bought that one : http://www.ebay.com/itm/161940521059 same price but it mentions 12 pieces
deskid Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 And yes I've taken another chance and ordered the 86p set!!!!
Amset-Rah Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 The worst sets i ever had were a 12 piece with magneto,the thing,green arrow,flash and an early quicksikver, had bad early SY style legs with extra holes in!!!!

That's what people think of when they think the word "bootleg"I don't think I saw the other set though.
deskid Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 (edited) Was pretty atrocious, can't remember what made me buy it!!! Maybe BEER!!!--!- Edited January 28, 2016 by deskid
Simsey Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 in fact i've bought that one : http://www.ebay.com/itm/161940521059 same price but it mentions 12 pieces have u gotten delivery on that i ordered from the same seller on the 26th of dec a different set and yet to get it
petamas Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 I didn't purchase that exact set but I did get two other sets that have some of the same figures in it. http://www.ebay.com/...LkAAOSwAKxWbiAu http://www.ebay.com/...mIAAOSwLN5WhKPq Overall I think that these are of great quality and price but I'm not too picky. Mine are just for display. Those are two completely unrelated brands, with very very different quality compared to the set with Grievous.
TK924 Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 (edited) Those are two completely unrelated brands, with very very different quality compared to the set with Grievous. Ah, I didn't realize. I guess all bootlegs aren't created the same. It would be cool to see a list of various bootleg brands and the quality rating for each. . Edited January 28, 2016 by TK924
briksen Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 i'm working on a website, I will keep you informed guys ;)
jangosolo Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 Yeah at 86p, it would be daft not to! I've bought one
briksen Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 Ah, I didn't realize. I guess all bootlegs aren't created the same. It would be cool to see a list of various bootleg brands and the quality rating for each. dargo and xinh are low-mid-range but improving, sy is top notch (but faces are sometimes weird), decool is generally good but misfires sometimes, DLP is ok and that DOLL 12 figures set is a good surprise... you can forget all the others, they are just bad...

Robianco Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 (edited) As Briksen says: SY (Sheng Yuan): Excellent Quality for most sets with very accurate printing but tend to have some design issues when creating something new. Prone to the odd iffy set which tends to be a tester set for a new printing technique such as arm and leg printing or double sided heads. Moulds are excellent and are almost identical to Lego. S Brand: Possibly an offshoot of SY. Made a superbly printed Jungle Camo squad of six figures with almost 360º Pad Printing to rival anyone. Not seen much else from them. DLP (Duo Le Pin): Very good quality which can rival SY at times and they look like they have bought SY's old moulding machines as they follow the issues of blocky shoulders that SY used to have. Decool: Very hit and miss. Can be excellent when they put their minds to it or they can be terrible with poorly aligned print and general quality issues. Dargo: Formerly terrible quality but have shown some improvement with a few of their recent Superheroes figures but a big step in recent Star Wars waves. If they carry on improving like this they could rival Decool but a long way to go to reach SY levels. Xinh: Another relatively mid quality product that has been poor in the past but has shown really improvement in their SW figures of late. Other notable mentions: Doll: Had some decent military figures over a year ago but nothing of note. Recently got on the SW bandwagon and may have also shown a step up with those figures. New 12 figure set is 80p on eBay so grab one while you can to check the quality out. Elephant: Made an odd range of Iron Man looking Super Hero figures that were apparently half decent if not for a couple of poorer figures in the sets. Also done some other waves but without much fanfare or anything of quality to put them with the above group. There are others but I'd avoid them and wouldn't buy them regardless of how low the price such as JLB and Lebq. Edited January 28, 2016 by Robianco
briksen Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 (edited) i forgot elephant! I have that weird iron-bat-man at home, it's a decent work (and a funny minifig) but the print is really simple. You can check it... And buy if you dare... http://s.aliexpress.com/jANfQRFZ gosh! you've bought THAT ? Edited January 28, 2016 by briksen
Krikkit Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 You can check it... And buy if you dare... http://s.aliexpress.com/jANfQRFZ Wow...
MDM Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 (edited) gosh! you've bought THAT ? Noooooooo, just to show the set deskid was describing... Edited January 28, 2016 by MDM
