I for one am VERY interested how you find it. This may sway me on whether I pick one up. I'd like you to be brutally honest about the quality of the parts... especially the yellow technic bricks, the light bley levers, the rigging and the dish (as well as the print on that).

Will do, hope to take a look over the weekend

So a big order of mine arrived today with most of the Xinh and Pogo waves from summer (except the two most recent xinh ones). Print quality was really a mixed bag. Mr Gold in particular had some pretty bad printing which looked worn off before I'd even opened the bag. That doesn't bode well for the other chrome figures. Happy to provide pictures if people want any.

Also it seems to be Xinh's standard to use the shitty matte prints on legs for their figures now, either for patterns or for the dual-molded look.

I got the Xinh wave with beastboy, killer croc, blue beetle today

Xinh has really dropped their standard.... I am seeing their quality now as somewhere inbetween Pogo and Lebq

beast boy,blue beetle had the iron on print, starfire was extremely misprinted with tearing all over. and every other figure had minor tearing of the print. Only killer croc was 100% perfect.

Definitely going to be cautious with Xinh in future, even when pics have been released.

Game of thrones first 6 came, and they are awesome.

SY abomination figure wave came, and they are still leaders of the bootlegs! by far!

Any chance you could upload a picture of some of the figures in that wave? Particularly Blue Beetle.

Will do later today :)

Another note on Pogo's Mr Gold - the joints are incredibly tough to move. Like I've got hundreds of bootlegs and these are far and away the toughest. The chromed paint must be thicker than the other stuff.

Also, my Stan Lee came with correctly coloured arms, not flesh coloured as per other pictures. The hair didn't fit on the head though.

I've order a few bootlegs and the hair is tough to get on some. But, I was able to get with a little love and banging it on my desk head first!

Just noticed this on ebay. I like the fact that they are beating Lego at getting these out to the public.

I actually saw those up on Ali the other day. One seller had actual pictures of the Star Wars ones, I was really tempted.

Some useful bits and pieces there. Hopefully they are all printed pieces.

Any chance of some higher resolution shots of these figures? Maybe individually? I'd love to see some really detailed images of these. That Arkham Knight torso looks like it'd go great with the Xinh(?) headpiece for that.

I've taken the plunge on the Droids and Vader ones https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Star-Wars-Mini-Building-Blocks-BB-8-R2-D2-Master-Yoda-C-3PO-Darth-Vader-Stormtrooper/32729124344.html?spm=2114.13010608.0.0.vU5j2K

Update on the UCS Falcon - I seem to be missing the grey piping pieces (have black ones) - but I note they are missing off the photograph on the instructions booklet, its going to take ages to build and sometimes you begin to lose the will to live with the stupid brittle bags everywhere!  The pieces have been sorted reasonably well though, however some organisation would have helped me.  

The Mast webbing seems fine, haven't got to that stage yet, the yellow brackets are great, seem strong (all in place) - the levers are also good, though I seem to be 3 levers short to base - not sure if thats going to be an issue or not.  No missing pieces yet, only one piece was slightly warped but it bent back and is solid.  Good building experience so far, connections are great, quality really really good.

[KiltyONeal]

Ummm .... yeah.  Not sure if this is a joke or not.  I really don't know.
