Praiter Yed Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 (edited) @ jangosolo, I've sent you a PM. ^ It's true that the Super Heroes theme is lacking vehicles, but to my mind that's already apparent in the larger sets - how many variations of helicopters or motor cycles have we seen so far? Frankly it's up to Lego to be creative and figure out what would sell - I'd buy them even if they came with a variety of random vehicles like the bootleg ones (some of them are hilarious). Or, they could go down the route of some of the really old SW sets where you built a small scene, ultimately I just want a Super Hero minifig at a reasonable price, who cares what the bricks make. Does anybody ever build the little scenes that come with Sheng Yuan figures? I'm not even sure what to do with the parts (bin them, give them away) - although I love the orange leaf pieces that come with the F4 set - I'll even let them live in my Lego box.

jangosolo Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 (edited) The new DC wave is a really big push towards a diverse range of figures though that it may just spark the beginning of a flood of new characters rather than just a glorified Batman theme.... Marvel's Universe is also growing with the films etc to in a year or two I'm sure quite a few of these bootlegs will be replaced by genuine Lego. I hope so, as I've got some funds gathered up from recent Lego sales and some spaces in my frames to buy, buy, buy! I'm sitting here contemplating buying the same stuff I have already, just cos I can... need some new stuff! Lists seem to be in fashion, so here is mine (bootleg or otherwise, I'd like one) Galactus (Sentinel style and scale) Thanos Hawkeye (old school with a H on his head) Green Goblin (old school - making one, but sure someone can do better) Red Robin (there are some customs out there, but they all seem slightly off and using a balaclava as the mask is wrong wrong wrong!!) EDIT! Also All of the Streetfighter 2 Characters! Saw a pic on the "Decool" FB feed yesterday - looked awesome @ jangosolo, I've sent you a PM. ^ It's true that the Super Heroes theme is lacking vehicles, but to my mind that's already apparent in the larger sets - how many variations of helicopters or motor cycles have we seen so far?

Thanks - appreciate that. I built a few at first, but they are totally redundant and I have no idea why they persist. Sometimes they have some useful and interesting pieces I keep, but the rest gets swept into the bin! They are cheap enough so can't really accuse them of trying to pump up the price, but it does sometimes feel that they could have done something else instead of the bricks (another figure perhaps?)

Sabbath Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 I built all my SY structure things just because the only form of display I have at the moment is the bases they come on, and the SY bases look.... empty with just the figure on them. I even made one up for the MOC Colossus created in this thread out of the bricks from SS and Pyro, just to have him fit in. If given a choice, I would rather have a pile of spare Decool bases to use for my SY figures and scrap the structures altogether though.

I do end up selling the 3x4 bases - very popular it seems
wickedlemon Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 I wish SY would stop sticking spare hands in. They could at least vary the body parts so you could eventually build some extra figures.
Borex Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 With the next series from Decool with Magneto and Batman almost out, i'm pretty curious to see what the next series will be. There's not really a lot to copy from Lego left is there? Only a few spidey figs and SDCC figs come to mind. So i hope that there are some non-official lego figs thrown in (probably stolen design from customisers)

Praiter Yed Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 (edited) I do end up selling the 3x4 bases - very popular it seems I would never have thought to sell them - people will buy anything! I wish SY would stop sticking spare hands in. They could at least vary the body parts so you could eventually build some extra figures. I've had a couple of bootleg figs with loose hands and found that one of the spares fits better so they can be handy (no pun intended) occasionally. Has anyone tried fitting the hands to Lego figs? - Do they fit? There's not really a lot to copy from Lego left is there? Only a few spidey figs and SDCC figs come to mind. So i hope that there are some non-official lego figs thrown in (probably stolen design from customisers) There're loads of figs on that picture of the game characters that tkkim79 posted that I'd love to see in Lego/Bottleg form. I'm desperate for more X-Men and when I'm not thinking about how big King Pin should be I'm dreaming of having a proper old skool Electro - in fact give me ALL the old Spiderman villains none of that Ultimate stuff!

Robianco Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 Both my AE orders have been sent out to me now including 2 sets of the Decool range so hopefully I'll have at least one leaflet to be able to see what's coming next. Also looking forward to the Lele Military set with the machine guns mounts, sandbags and the crates.

If given a choice, I would rather have a pile of spare Decool bases to use for my SY figures and scrap the structures altogether though. I save all the extra pieces/bases in a container and use them to make things, like this display stand for the Human Torch minifigures (including that awful Torch figure that came with one of those knockoff Lego movie sets):
gauz Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 Decool and SY have been pretty active on their Facebook pages
Robianco Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 I've seen the Decool page but not the SY one... I don't think they're maintained or set up by the companies though... at least the Decool one doesn't strike me as anything but a fan page. Going back to a comment someone made a page or so ago... I'm happy to put together a list of the spares I've got here before I list them on eBay if anyone is interested in a trade. I'm not sure if trading should be in the relevant section but as it's not genuine Lego I'm not sure where it should be.
Borex Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 Looks like the SY and Decool pages are by the same person.
Robianco Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 Yeah... the fact that Decool is sharing SY pages tells me it's jut the same person/people. It would be nice if it was kept remotely up-to-date though!
Sabbath Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 (edited) Anyone able to vouch for this set? http://www.aliexpres...1928367014.html Edited November 21, 2014 by Sabbath
