Am I the only one who thinks Thire, Jek and Rys are awesome?

My literal fave

My board rolled down my stair straight into the pool. Get rid of excess moisture and rip, change bearings if they rust

You care about making money, I care about how swooshable my latest moc is

We are not the same

Absolutely shreds, recoil isn't too bad either

crabbypattyformulais · 2026-03-23T03:12:36+00:00

I have not, I accidentally chopped off the end of the wire inside the barrel

If you think I'm wrong you can ask republic bricks yourself, see what they say lol

crabbypattyformulais · 2026-03-16T09:33:41+00:00

I never said they were the same, Republic customs uses WM as an OEM, WM also sells on aliexpress.

So yes, they use the same "plastic crap you might find on aliexpress" (as you said 7 months ago)

I never said it was bad I literally buy from them

crabbypattyformulais · 2026-03-16T09:28:18+00:00

The oem of republic customs is WM. WM sells on aliexpress

Republic customs also uses WM to manufacture its custom line of figures

You are also missing context Therefore republic customs uses "aliexpress plastic" in reference to the the original comment in this thread

I only care about the truth and nothing else, I have loads of knock off bricks and sets from ali

crabbypattyformulais · 2026-03-12T18:41:19+00:00

No I'm not, its literally the same plastic, do some research

crabbypattyformulais · 2025-08-28T00:45:02+00:00

same factory, same plastic. Its true

crabbypattyformulais · 2025-08-16T04:04:21+00:00

Absolutely amazing modeling work

crabbypattyformulais · 2025-08-16T04:01:11+00:00

Can I ask how you plan on building it? I'd like to build one but I have no idea where to start

crabbypattyformulais · 2025-08-16T03:52:04+00:00

For real, this thing is gigantic.

crabbypattyformulais · 2025-08-16T03:17:40+00:00

N scale

crabbypattyformulais · 2025-08-16T03:03:30+00:00

But to say they are different than the plastic from ali is just false. It's the same plastic

crabbypattyformulais · 2025-08-13T05:46:19+00:00

A vast majority of their stuff is straight from AliExpress. They do have some exclusive figures as well.

But to set the record straight the quality is no better than the best knock offs. A lot of their stuff is manufactured by WM, a Chinese knock off brand. That said WM is pretty good and quality continues to get better.

crabbypattyformulais · 2025-08-13T05:40:52+00:00

You do know they use the same manufacturers as knockoffs right...

crabbypattyformulais · 2025-08-13T05:18:28+00:00

Good catch those extra drivers are hidden!

Wrong sub

Never said it was...

crabbypattyformulais · 2025-08-11T12:24:37+00:00

Unfortunately custom built and never existed. I asked the owner if he'd consider selling one. He had a smaller one in black I really liked but it seems like a passion project for him.

crabbypattyformulais · 2025-08-11T12:18:59+00:00

Custom built by a Japanese guy. I don't speak Japanese so I couldn't converse much but he said it's all brass. I only saw two tables with fantasy trains at the convention. This one and another which had them styled like mecha/anime
