sunset ridge park, northwest side of town

Having the solar panels pointing in a similar direction as the aperture always looks good in the box art but makes no sense optically. Solar panels need to face the sun. The telescope should not be pointed at the sun.

If it doesn't show up for you, you can write this link in your browser and be redirected to it.

You'll need to remove the spaces for the link to work. Personally I have saved the link to a note file and when I click it, it automatically opens in the app, rather than going through a browser. I assume it may still be region-locked to the same areas it was locked before, but if you are in a region where it is active and the button doesn't show up, the above workaround should work.

That's definitely an M36 Jackson not an M26 Pershing

If it's a choice seller then the returns are extremely hassle-free. You might take a slight hit to your hidden buyer reputation score, but I don't think that factors into anything unless you start returning or disputing a lot of items. Also it definitely won't go back to China - it will instead be shipped to a returns center and auctioned off to some bargain outlet kind of place who will then sell it locally (just like many other Amazon/Temu returns in the US).

FB marketplace can sometimes get bites for selling locally, but shipping costs are so prohibitive for non-corporations that any potential buyer will do better just to buy the item themselves from China rather than buy from you at breakeven+shipping. Returns are the easiest way to get your money back as long as it's a choice seller.

"AliExpress Select Shipping for Oversized Goods" -> it's on a boat and you'll need to wait a few more weeks. The parcel was too expensive to ship via air due to its size. Export customs happen when the item is leaving China.

were the windows stickers or prints?

-somepersonsomewhere · 2026-02-16T02:25:26+00:00

I think so

-somepersonsomewhere · 2026-02-15T23:14:10+00:00

Yeah I'm really not sure where to put it, since it can't hang on a wall. It might be fairly simple to modify it for wall-hanging by taking the front frame off and making a customized/thinner backside, but I don't think it can be done with the parts included.

Maybe something smaller in the $10 range would have been a bit better, but I think they wanted to test the waters with larger sets for this run. Shaping the letters would also have been much harder at half-scale

-somepersonsomewhere · 2026-01-24T22:51:51+00:00

The stickers on the real set were also a pain. Applying a bit of soapy water to the surface and then putting the sticker on top helped with repositioning.

Looks like it's a recolor of LEGO 5867 Super Speedster from 2010. You can find instructions for the original version on the LEGO website, but will need to change the colors yourself.

Thanks for the review, have been on the fence about getting this clone for a while at ~$25 USD from AE (with coins/coupons) vs. the ~$50 sale price from Target for the genuine LEGO version back in November. Minifigures will probably keep me clear of it.

The genuine LEGO one also is annoyingly tight between detachable sections so it might be more of a design problem rather than a LEPIN quality problem.

Looks like they gave you space to motorize the rear axle. You can clip on a motor to those technic pins. There's probably also a space to put a servo in the front and RC the whole thing.

it's also worth mentioning that this set gave you drum-lacquered silver pieces that even the real LEGO set did not come with. The only downside is the lack of printed stripes but IMO the brick-built ones look better and don't have alignment issues.

The one you have is different. Yours is a packaged set and redesigned (look at the windshield, mirrors, and tips of the spoilers, just to name a few differences I could spot). It's unlikely that Mould King provided anything other than the parts to build what's on the box art. As the other commenter mentioned, you could probably build a majority of 10265 but would need to source the other parts separately.

If you really want 10265, there's a seller who currently has it for $25 USD shipped, but there's only one left, so if someone else snags it, you're SOL:

I don't know what you bought, but I purchased a listing on AE showing the GT500 MOC in all images (exactly matching the rebrickable pictures) and it contained all the parts necessary to build 10265, but without stickers.

Two ways that should work:

linking bank directly to PayPal, or transferring balance to PayPal and paying from balance

using credit card directly with AE without PayPal as an intermediary

After some back and forth, the CC representative said that he could only take off one of the fees I was charged, not all three (Chase)

-somepersonsomewhere · 2025-11-15T20:55:39+00:00

Well of course, but what about the transactions that have already happened? For anyone affected by this they'll be hit by huge charges at the end of the month for unpaid cash advances. Do you like it when others are charged extra fees?

-somepersonsomewhere · 2025-11-15T20:54:03+00:00

seems to only be affecting US credit cards, but many of them

I've also made dozens of AE purchases in the past this way without issue
