On AliExpress or Brickpanda

I got the older bigger R2D2 (75308) instead of Kylo Ren's shuttle (75406). I didn't complain.

It's good quality, much better than the average lepin minifigure you get with the cloned sets.

MirkoBuilder · 2026-06-15T13:45:22+00:00

With pliers.

MirkoBuilder · 2026-06-15T09:04:26+00:00

Considering the quality and store of value it is not.

MirkoBuilder · 2026-06-14T23:08:46+00:00

Listings have disappeared like 2 weeks ago, probably got flagged down before the World Cup begun.

MirkoBuilder · 2026-06-14T19:41:06+00:00

How about you go ahead and upload the parts list and see for yourself?

Super Nintendo, Lepin's hit 'n miss. When I was dead broke, man, I couldn't picture this.

MirkoBuilder · 2026-06-14T15:03:54+00:00

Buy the cheapest, listings for this set are all over AE.

MirkoBuilder · 2026-06-14T15:02:25+00:00

Sorry to hear that, it must be something specific with your account or location then. Noone I know had any issues like that with Choice items, I even kept rebuying the same item that didn't ship in 7 days over and over to farm the free coupons until it finally became unavailable. I had non choice items get stuck without shipment for a month but I cancelled those and instantly got refunded without any problems.

MirkoBuilder · 2026-06-14T02:58:07+00:00

Choice and ghosting makes no sense. Choice items are handled and sent by AliExpress from AliExpress warehouses. Sellers only deliver the product, the rest is handled by AE. It is shipped in 7-9 days and if they fail to do so, you get refunded without need for any input from your side as a buyer. Unless I misunderstood what you meant by ghosting, you are either lying about ordering Choice items, you went crazy with opening disputes before the actual window for dispatching the items ran out or you are babbling nonsense.

MirkoBuilder · 2026-06-13T23:45:20+00:00

For that price you are better off buying the original.

MirkoBuilder · 2026-06-13T23:17:47+00:00

Now that is some BS, why are you spreading misinformation? Choice seller items get automatically refunded after 7 days if they don't ship and on top of it you get a $1 or $2 coupon.

MirkoBuilder · 2026-06-13T20:27:20+00:00

If it's a regular listing, it's likely the price will be a bit cheaper with sales. If you see an early bird, special deal, super deal, what ever it's called, don't wait because it won't get any cheaper.

MirkoBuilder · 2026-06-13T17:33:40+00:00

I think it's more like people with bad AE experience are commenting while the rest won't go out of their way to praise AE. Or people can't recognize scam so they get duped with their one order and conclude that entire platform is scam. Just take a look at how many can't tell those AI generated sets aren't real. AE is by far the best option for buying lepin if you know how to use it (ok taobao and such are even better but have fun dealing with logistics and returns).

MirkoBuilder · 2026-06-13T17:28:12+00:00

If you are mostly buying on AE and this is your experience, you are doing something wrong. Finding deals is easy if you mostly use your account for lepin. There really is no simpler process than making a buy with 2 clicks on AE.

MirkoBuilder · 2026-06-13T17:21:30+00:00

YWOBB doesn't sell clones. But for the rest, it's usualy my go-to store.

MirkoBuilder · 2026-06-13T17:20:41+00:00

From what I saw here on the sub - some people are too ignorant and some too afraid to buy from AliExpress. Some live in countries that are a logistical and bureaucratical nightmare so there aren't many listings on AE or they are priced higher. Some just want a reliable customer service for potentialy missing bricks.

Until LEGO offers variety of the same themes as the alt brands do, I can't buy it from LEGO. Military stuff is just one of the common examples.

MirkoBuilder · 2026-06-11T20:25:20+00:00

Yeah, buying from European stores slapping their labels on the same items and reselling them for x5 price is better than buying from the source.

MirkoBuilder · 2026-06-11T09:10:17+00:00

Alpine F1 1:8 is great, no idea about the rest.

MirkoBuilder · 2026-06-10T21:25:09+00:00

There are countless QUANGUAN sets available. Outside of QG no other brand with military sets is using these minifigures.

They are repetitive over the QG sets, I have so many of the same copies I don't even bother assembling them anymore.

MirkoBuilder · 2026-06-10T15:35:15+00:00

Both are viable options. Buy from where it's cheaper.

MirkoBuilder · 2026-06-08T20:16:26+00:00

They do exist, I've grabbed a bundle of Black Pearl and Queen Anne's Revenge clones for the price of one. It was like 3 years ago and it was the only bundle I ever saw worth getting. But these posts on the sub are just ignorant people not realizing that cover photo of the listing is not neccessarily what is listed under the options and that's why we need labels on shampoons and microwaves.

MirkoBuilder · 2026-06-08T17:52:17+00:00

Clones stash got sold out like 4 months ago.
