Robianco Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 (edited) I've never liked the brick quality of the bootleg makers so I'll pass on those sets. I'm sure even if it's a bit more expensive to pick things up from BL it'll be much more worthwhile to have those as genuine Lego. I've just made a mass order of the Superheroes sets and various military sets. Something about those I really like.. besides the fact I tend to replace the minifigures with genuine Lego and sell them on. Looking forward to receiving the SY sets. Interested in how good the SDCC figures are for GA and Phoenix. I'm hoping I can keep the Decool heads as they're double sided and use them on these. Galactus looks good.. as does Antman... at least until the official one comes out later in the year. Beast looks good. Plastic Man has the long legs which is a nice difference to the regular Lego version. They've copied NACM's Daredevil.. I've got the Muddy River version from the game so I'm interested to see how good the print is on this. I'm assuming they've copied the design exactly. Wolvie, Magneto and Loki I already have along with Nova, Cyborg and regular Hawkeye. Red Robin looks like a copy of Christo's version with the helmet which I have the original of so I'll get to compare those. Yellow Lantern Deadpool looks fun... although I'm not sure of the reason for the crossover? I'm really looking forward to the comic Hawkeye. I hope this one get the best of SY's abilities along with Phoenix. Also ordered the Expendables set... even if they're not great as the actual characters themselves I'm hoping the leg and torso design and print work for customs. Some interesting Iron Man variations there too. Always nice to add to the Hall or Armour. Edited January 5, 2015 by Robianco
Borex Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 (edited) as does Antman... at least until the official one comes out later in the year. I'm really glad we're getting comic Antman right now. After TLC produces him (he is rumored for this summer wave), the bootleggers will most likely copy that design, and that design will be his movie costume i guess. So i'm happy! Maybe they can make a comic YellowJacket as well? That they went for comic hawkeye is also really great. Too bad they didn't give him a purple bow and ditto quiver. Edited January 5, 2015 by Borex

BigPoppaBrick Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 @Robianco - have you got a link to which vendor you used? I'd like to make a big order for a few sets of figures so would like to use the same if possible.

legofanatic12 Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 (edited) Decool zombies , from Jan 10 http://www.aliexpres...2265919160.html Looks like they alternated the existing minifigures that LEGO was already made like the following below: S7 - Computer Programmer S1 - Zombie (Added a hair for no reason) Bad Cop Emmet S6 - Sleepyhead S1 - Nurse They are NOT original, but copying someone else work is stealing and its considered plagiarism which is against the law. I hope someone reported to any federal government for what they had done to them. Rock On LEGO! Bootlegs must be downed soon. We don't trust bootlegs. Edited January 6, 2015 by legofanatic12

Jeannehk2007 Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 I understand the plagiarism issue and the bootleg existence. But i will still buy it as long as the quality of them is acceptable and the characters are those ilike. JLB is releasing a wave of street fighters LoL I think i will acquire it
jangosolo Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 (edited) JLB is releasing a wave of street fighters LoL I think i will acquire it Is it this? http://www.ebay.com/...=p2047675.l2557 I can't see them on Aliexpress yet. The pic isn't great, but they don't look as good quality as other brands EDIT They are on, but in bulk http://www.aliexpress.com/item/DIY-Blocks-Street-Fighter-blocks-30sets-lot-Street-Fighter-blocks-building-block-toys-Street-Fighter-toy/32266900061.html Edited January 6, 2015 by jangosolo
wickedlemon Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 All these new sets popping up on AE. I'm still waiting for the Kamen Rider Gaim set to appear.
MrManiac Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 All these new sets popping up on AE. I'm still waiting for the Kamen Rider Gaim set to appear. Wait, what? If there's knockoff Kamen Rider stuff… dammit, I might have to actually get that. >.>

I have all the Mega Bloks riders already, but they only covered a handful of series. Edited January 7, 2015 by wickedlemon
Swifty118247 Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Anyone seen anyone selling the heroes assemble set with beast and Hawkeye or the new iron man wave on eBay?! Starting to think I might convert to Ali
Robianco Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Not yet. Ebay is becoming sparse for those sets I think. I've not got a reliable seller I follow... At least not for prices which are less than Ali. There used to be loads that started off auctions at 1p but they all seem to be Buy It Now!
Borex Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 I regularly check Digger318's facebook page. People post images of knockoffs on it, or he himself does that. Now he found sets of Guardians of the Galaxy called Surep Heores :-D https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpa1/t31.0-8/10900246_906607042705666_383091751685379578_o.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpa1/t31.0-8/10896361_906607092705661_3183150329386806768_o.jpg And new Dargo sets with Cap. America on a bike vs Winter Soldier for instance. Mind the Bozhi Star Wars sets beneath them, and the Heroes Assemble Yellow Deadpool! https://scontent-a-ams.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpa1/t31.0-8/10896306_906607176038986_7112939276057825651_o.jpg
Darkrattyop Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 That's actually the Dargo Wolverine, not the yellow Deadpool
Borex Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 That's actually the Dargo Wolverine, not the yellow Deadpool Ow wow haha thats one ugly wolverine!
ClickDastardly Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 I'm having my first difficulty with an AliExpress seller. And a problem with the website. The tracking information for an item I purchased shows it bounced around for a few days, then it was flagged as "insufficient address". The package appears to have ended up in the "dead letter" room somewhere in the US Postal Service. I opened a dispute before the time ran out on AliExpress, and typed a message to the seller as part of opening the dispute. The dispute opened, but the message actually sent to another seller. I am dealing with that confusion now. Of course, I guess the seller could have multiple accounts, and the messages maybe all go to a single account. I don't know. But it's not very clear what happened. Previously, I placed about 12 orders on AliExpress with no problems (other than some slow delivery times). And I have a couple orders yet to be shipped. I'm not complaining. It is what it is...a bit of a gamble in my mind. I only order with pre-paid Visa cards because I don't trust them enough to use a regular card. And I agree with what someone else said, the Ebay prices are a little high now-a-days. And new Dargo sets with Cap. America on a bike vs Winter Soldier for instance. Mind the Bozhi Star Wars sets beneath them, and the Heroes Assemble Yellow Deadpool! https://scontent-a-a...057825651_o.jpg I consider myself lucky I don't live near a store like in this picture that sells so many figures. I would probably go there every day looking to see if anything new showed up.
beekini Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 in my opinion SY 's iron man wave 3 is base on this
Jeannehk2007 Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 This ironman wave is great I must acquire them
KCMatze Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 (edited) They need to hit ebay. It's gotten a pain to get those on there... Still did not find a Rhino or Juggernaut bigfig Or can someone from the EU make a double order and ship those to me (from England, Netherlands or something)? Ich would of course pay the shipping extra. Would want the new 16 Super Heroes wave, the SY Iron Man 3 wave (Iron Lantern, yay!) and the 2 bigfigs... Edited January 8, 2015 by KCMatze
wickedlemon Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 Or can someone from the EU make a double order and ship those to me (from England, Netherlands or something)? Ich would of course pay the shipping extra. Can you not use Aliexpress? My Juggernaut and Rhinos turned up yesterday - A boxed pair for me and loose for my son to play with Since most Ali sellers offer free shipping making a double order doesn't really keep any prices down.
Robianco Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 I was actually thinking about something like this for using he express postal services. I ordered some Disney dresses before Christmas and they came in around 5 days which is MUCh quicker than usual free post. If there was a few people in the UK etc then for just a couple of pounds each we could chip in to get combined shopping by express courier (DHL etc). Just a thought.
jangosolo Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 Its not a bad idea, though I have just subbed my orders for now. Re Ebay and their cracking down, I can again confirm its getting harsher, I'm not sure if I will bother listing any more of my spares as I can't seem to get the listing right! I don't think we'll be seeing the mass of auctions on Ebay that we once did, and certainly not at the prices we once did. If anyone (pref UK based) fancies the SY Fantastic 4 (with modified Reed Arms) or are looking for a bunch of random figures drop me a PM!
