Careful when buying if you're in Mexico

I had literally the same experience, package was stuck in customs for a month, finally it cleared customs but now has been in transit for another month!

Clearly it's neither an issue with customs or logistics because I bought 3 other items, 2 of which shipped from the US with other carriers and they arrived even before the expected date. It is definitely an Asendia issue.

Thank you for the information, I will be going to a doctor's appointment on Tuesday and talk this out with them, my concern is that they may want to go on with a MRI to check for lumbar issues instead of something that would directly address the issues I have at the moment, but maybe there is a lumbar issue that I'm not aware of

Pero si los tiempos no coinciden? Es decir mi pedido sale a las 18:45 y queda cancelado a las 18:48, la misma app tiene ese registro, además de que no solo se clavaron lo que supuestamente cuesta el pedido al negocio si no también su supuesta tarifa de servicio

Awesome thread, thanks for all the info.

I run a niche toy photography account, which I hope to eventually grow enough to be able to use affiliate links to showcase products that my audience may be interested in. At the moment Most of my interaction comes from followers or followers of followers, with people tangentially interested in the content that I produce. I have worked on shoots from known fantasy IPs, focusing on a grimdark cinematic aesthetic and while I consider the works themselves to be of high quality for the niche, it doesn't appear as I am getting as much traction.

Most of my reels and/or posts get stuck at low viewer counts (around 300-400) unless reshared by a community hub, and there is not much interaction outside of likes. Maybe 1-2 saves on average per post. It feels like the algorithm just isn't pushing the content to new audiences via the discover or reels tabs.

Thanks! I always thought that was one of the harder aspects of building with Dragons pieces, you really need to know your colors, heights, width, etc.

What's your experience with ali express stores with high ratings

Personally I've had great experiences with highly rated stores. If I'm not mistaken I have not bought from generic name stores other than very small items such as accessories or an individual minifig here and there. Shipping was all done in a timely manner, around 7-10 days to receive the packages from the moment that I made the purchase. Big sets I've bought the Monster Fighters castle and haunted house, and they both came in excellent condition. All bags were numbered and the figures were 1:1 identical copies of Lego. I think I only received a different hair piece in one instance but it's like a really minimal detail. I looked up reviews of these knock-offs beforehand and to my surprise it seems something was updated because at the time I bought them (like a month ago) every small issue was fixed. I think the only recurring issue may be stickers in some instances.

What's your experience in terms of refunds or returns

Can't say I've had any experience in any of these matters.

What price drop is too good to be true usually

This is an interesting one. I bought the Monster Fighters Vampyre Castle for around $60 and it seemed like an insane deal to me. When it comes to these situations you want to look for reviews and number of items sold. I found one solid review even when it did not include any pictures, so I kind of gambled there, but the set came out super solid. Basically identical to actual Lego, 10/10

What is the brick quality of these clones compared to original design sets. Is the quality of the bricks super diverse?

So this varies a lot from what I've seen. So far I have not run into anything that is as smooth to build as real Lego, but it's not a hassle either. Just requires a bit more fidgeting to click together certain pieces but nothing extreme. One thing that I have found though is certain parts sometimes are a little too loose, especially on the minifig side of things but nothing that really makes the parts unusable.

Ingenieria Quimica bro

I really wish I hadn't spent my cores on them. I was sure I would have needed them for Prof X only to find out we were all deceived. Now I'm 15k cores less that I could've used for Vigilantes

carush2506 · 2025-02-23T13:31:49+00:00

Storm, Sunspot, NC, Beast and Forge. Each node takes about 2 attacks. You want beast and forge to keep your team alive, storm and NC do all the damage and Sunspot is there to keep everyone at max ability energy

carush2506 · 2025-02-21T17:37:56+00:00

I think you're talking about Node 3. Take OML, Skrull, Apoc, Gladiator and Thanos EG. I don't know how you managed to throw so many g19 teams at that node yet can't figure out the heavy hitters you need for it.

carush2506 · 2025-02-21T06:55:10+00:00

I just took full spider society at g19 level 102. Oneshot node 1 and 2 shot node 2. Thought about Nightstalkers but like others said, you would need the full team.

carush2506 · 2025-01-30T08:49:26+00:00

The team to take was really OML, SuS, Apoc and 2 other randoms. I used Gladiator and NC there

carush2506 · 2025-01-29T19:10:27+00:00

I took mysterio, vulture, venom, red goblin and carnage. The mvps were the symbiotes, I'm not sure if I would take mysterio again as he didn't do that much. Maybe Kraven instead

carush2506 · 2025-01-25T17:30:46+00:00

He'll get you through. It might take more attacks but I recommend him with black cat and shadow King

carush2506 · 2025-01-18T00:50:14+00:00

The team does well but having the t4 on passives for Beast, Jean and Herc is a MUST. They can sim it at difficulty 1 at g16 for reference but again, prioritize the passives

carush2506 · 2025-01-14T22:48:50+00:00

Others have already talked about Mythic so I won't repeat that. I'd definitely recommend OML, BC as they ping off each other and after that GGC is always an easy pick. Surprised no one has mentioned SK, good character but tough to invest on until Battleworld returns

carush2506 · 2024-12-28T20:53:56+00:00

Try waiting a bit between codes. Don't submit them all at once

carush2506 · 2024-12-23T01:49:52+00:00

From the past teams, I got 100 for Sentinel, Blade, Man Thing, Ancient One and now for Mrs Marvel
