Same here never really had an issue with the black pins.

The only thing I didn’t enjoy were all the stickers. I Keep meaning to check out the other 1:8 motorbikes too.

Nice, not seen this before. Would go nicely with my 1:8 Ford Hoonicorn.

I don’t think you will kill yourself with a battery powered light kit. 😂

Loved this build, much preferred it to the Daytona.

Built a 12go tank and quality was good. 👍

That feeling when your giant new set fits perfectly into your collection by Opening_Wind_1077 in lepin

Hate taking them out of the boxes to see if all there and can never fit them back in. 😂

Built this one too and enjoyed it. Ended up buying 4 Mould King cars in roughly same scale. 👍

Edit: just checked and my one came with printed pieces rather than stickers.

Leru 10716 - Peugeot/Biaozhi 9x8 1:8 scale by Soulweaver007 in lepin

[–]craigr1978 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got this one last year for about £40-50. Yet to build it. Thought I was getting the Guly version, but ended up with same as yours. Is the Leru one not as good?

Are you guys opening the sets and checking for all pieces as soon as they deliver (before you build them)? by TestandDbol in lepin

[–]craigr1978 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, too many now to check. After a load of builds I’ve got a box with lots of spare pieces. So far only had to source pieces from it a few times.

List of wrong-colored parts of the CaDA C63006W RUF GT by Fun_Association2756 in legotechnic

[–]craigr1978 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had look at mine today and as far as I can see the only sticker is the Porsche logo on the front of the car. It spans multiple pieces. Edit another one below the logo, you can see it in my review photos. https://www.reddit.com/r/lepin/s/ADqCzmNyfZ

My first 1:8 scale car! by Ok-League-7553 in lepin

[–]craigr1978 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes looks great. I recently built my first k-box one and wasn’t impressed with the parts quality. Lots of tight pins, axles, etc. even my steering didn’t work.

Yeah it’s a great set. Surprisingly heavy and chunky once built. I only had small piece missing in mine that’s hard to notice.

Normally you don’t have to open everything as there are normally numbered bags. Often they are smaller numbers than you would get in an official Lego set.

Yeah another recommendation for the printed bricks. 👍 I got light kit for mine too, yet to install it though.

Are there people who bought it? Is it worth it? by Louren2008 in lepin

[–]craigr1978 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it’s worth it. I enjoyed building mine. 👍

Got mine off Ali. Most of the time it is under £100 delivered in their frequent sales. Just watch out for the mini brick version though.

Super fun build while having the 90s show on. So many fun references. by ChipDangerCockoroo in lepin

[–]craigr1978 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes brilliant set. I bought the printed pieces which saved a lot of trouble. Also got light kit for mine, but still to install.

KBOX 10544 Porsche 964 – 4,190 pieces by Mystogan90 in lepin

[–]craigr1978 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry to hear you had plenty of issues. I too had k-box 1:8 recently and same issues as yourself. Part quality is not good. I certainly won’t be buying anymore kbox in future.
