Amset-Rah Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 Egghead has arrived, and I'm very pleased with him! The hands are a bit dirty, but other than that (I changed them out after shooting this) I am very impressed with him. Xinh did a fantastic job, this is right up there with SY or Decool and for less than a dollar, I feel I got more than my money's worth.
hvaly Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 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. you missed out famous "lepin" ~
pmptstc1 Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 Has Lele improved at all? Last time I bought from them it was a complete waste.
hello99 Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 How does Christo make his customs? They look really nice!
agoodfella77 Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 (edited) Hey Rob, I saw that Christo's Zebra Batman went for a crazy half grand ($500+) on eBay -- please tell me you paid less than that for yours mate!! Edited January 29, 2016 by agoodfella77
Robianco Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 Hey Rob, I saw that Christo's Zebra Batman went for a crazy half grand ($500+) on eBay -- please tell me you paid less than that for yours mate!! I paid about a quarter of that for mine! I'm glad I know the people I do otherwise I'd have bene looking longingly at that for evermore. There's no way I'll ever pay that for a single Lego figure. How does Christo make his customs? They look really nice! He has a pad printer or has a very good relationship with someone who does his print and he must have the ability to create injection moulds as his moulding is as good as Lego's own. That's why his customs sell for what they do.
jangosolo Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 "Pricing error" on those ebay SW sets unsurprisingly! Hmmmmm!
Captain Britain Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 "Pricing error" on those ebay SW sets unsurprisingly! Hmmmmm! Was the cost honoured?
Robianco Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 I had that message too and a request to cancel the order. Seeing as I've already ordered one I just asked them to cancel and refund. To be fair the revised cost is still only £2.80 for 12 figures.
briksen Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 Has Lele improved at all? Last time I bought from them it was a complete waste. their big dinos with rolling spheres are ok, my son plays a lot with them and they are still fully operational. figs look cheap though.
Robianco Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 you missed out famous "lepin" ~ I'd probably say Lepin and Bela are more set based companies rather than figures... I never buy bootleg sets. Lele is someone I probably missed and like most they've improved on their original offering but not someone who I'd have much hope for in regards to minifigures.
petamas Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 Has Lele improved at all? Last time I bought from them it was a complete waste. I had a few sets/figures years ago, and they was terrible. I also bought a set of Star Wars figures last year, they were not the best quality, but they were acceptable. (No printing issues, but the plastic did not "feel" right.)
Captain Britain Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 (edited) You can check it... And buy if you dare... http://s.aliexpress.com/jANfQRFZ Wow... Looks like Magneto has taken all the space from between Green Arrow's eyes and added it to his own face. Edited January 29, 2016 by Captain Britain
wickedlemon Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 You can check it... And buy if you dare... http://s.aliexpress.com/jANfQRFZ I have this set. They did a follow up, but it wasn't as bad unfortunately. I've still never been able to work out who the blue character in the front row is supposed to be.
Borex Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 I have this set. They did a follow up, but it wasn't as bad unfortunately. I've still never been able to work out who the blue character in the front row is supposed to be. Did you use some of the parts? Were they even reusable? The Ant-man headpiece looks pretty good, and his torso also. Or the headpiece for daredevil or torso for quicksilver? The OK FF set was also rubbish, but it got me a nice black panther. I wanted Moleman too, but they gave me two Dooms and the seller didn't reply yet on my dispute.
deskid Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 Yeah some of the bits and pieces were okay and got re-purposed!!! I also got an email regarding the mis-pricing of the star wars set, I'm pushing them to send, if a shop seller gets his price wrong he doesn't chase you down the street for the extra money does he? Doubt they'll arrive but i'll be protected thru ebay!!!
hello99 Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 Is there a doc ock minifigure made? I see one part of the Bela set with spiderman but can you get it as a single?
jangosolo Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 Yeah some of the bits and pieces were okay and got re-purposed!!! I also got an email regarding the mis-pricing of the star wars set, I'm pushing them to send, if a shop seller gets his price wrong he doesn't chase you down the street for the extra money does he? Doubt they'll arrive but i'll be protected thru ebay!!! Good call that.... I expect they'll remove the listing or there is some small print on ebay to protect them... but I will try the same!
Amset-Rah Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 I have this set. They did a follow up, but it wasn't as bad unfortunately. I've still never been able to work out who the blue character in the front row is supposed to be. Call it a hunch but I think it might be Jay from Ninjago.
dnodar Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 Anyone bought sy363?? Superman mech with lex and batman mech with joker. I would like see closer the minifigs!! Not interested on mechs!!
dirk Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 Good call that.... I expect they'll remove the listing or there is some small print on ebay to protect them... but I will try the same! I got the same email, saying they the set was mis-priced .... have not responded back to seller yet, pls let us know whether they will bend on the push-back , thx!
briksen Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 I said that was ok for me and asked him to cancel that transaction and refund my money. there is nothing else to do, I think... if the seller don't want to send you that set, he will not and you gonna wait a loooong time for nothing. That's all folks...
Kire Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 So what's the general consensus on the Gambit figure. Is the pogo figure worth getting on single sale?
Borex Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 (edited) The gambit fig is ok. It certainly isnt the best ( matte colouring, rough plastic). I would only recommend this for expanding your x man collection Edited January 30, 2016 by Borex
