No worries. I just thought I was going nuts. KEEPA also doesn't show that price so I was totally confused.

Spent hours looking for this to prove you wrong. Finally found it embedded in a thread on SD. Prime day exclusive deal. Look up thread on SD for $301.45 Additional discount for using amazon prime amex card for a total of 51% off.

I have no problems with people buying FLego, provided it is not a copyright violation. I do have problems with people then selling FLego in the LEGO category on online platforms, or calling it LEGO in the description. Everytime I find this stuff in secondhand lots, I either ask for a free return or a significant refund. Sent from my SM-A326U1 using Tapatalk

Removed address & partial order#

WOW just looked and @Ed Mack hasn’t been here for over a year now. When I bumped this thread my intent was to focus on the increased quality of bogus bricks and how that may affect sales as I have seen so many people posting their builds and collections of FLego on social media. I know others have their own opinions and I am not one to censor so hopefully we can keep it civil and on topic and not go down a geopolitical rabbit hole. I have placed three different orders as the algorithm let me know about an another line of bricks called GoBricks that are used by a company called Pantasy that make their own designs and don’t have some of the issues that the other 2 companies do: too much clutch power and cloudy colored translucent pieces. I messaged with someone who is a close friend/colleague of a LAN member and he says that GoBricks are as good as if not better than Lego. So I ordered their Bakery Modular for $84 after 10% off promo code from Amazon. I did not order any current Lego sets like Rivendell just retired sets and new third party creations that are not ripoffs of MOCs so I am technically only taking money away from resellers, although this is money I could be spending on real Lego. Currently, I have well over 100 Lego sets in my backlog of “to be built sets” with probably 50 of them being sets that cost $100 and up. I completed 21036: Arc de Triomphe I wanted to build something that I had previously built and still have to do a direct comparison. I am working on “Old Fishing Store” now, I had kept one for personal build but when the price got above $500 had to let it go. I have QAR, another set I had built and sold, well traded away to an old Moderator on here, I wanted to see how the quality of the sails were since they are not plastic bricks. Also, picked up the FunHole Farmstand but will definitely work on the Bakery next as it arrives tomorrow. Early review on the Mars Toys “Old Fishing Store” I am done bags 2 of 7 using the instructions app but the printed instructions look good, there are no stickers as that could be an issue, minifigures are much improved but still not comparable to Lego, printed pieces are spot on, no smell, no oily residue, sheen and feel of the bricks is identical to Lego, Hues are identical although I will do some more testing with various elements later on. No missing pieces but I see numerous people post that they use the Lego system to order replacements if there are missing pieces and this is just wrong. The injection mold points, a big sign of decreased quality in Lego to me, are much better than Lego coming out of the Mexico plant and I can post pictures later comparing The Translucent colored pieces are still not as clear as Lego but much improved and I think the biggest issue so far is the clutch power is too strong especially with larger pieces to the point that some parts of the build are hard to get together perfectly and your fingertips will hurt. This also makes it difficult to correct mistakes in the build and if you ever want to disassemble the set. Other than no Lego logo on the studs I can’t see any differences but I can feel it during the build. Is that feel and Logo worth $430 more for Lego Rivendell that has stickers and awesome minifigures perhaps

Final anniversary minifigure goes to R2-KT. I'd like to believe Lego will follow what every other manufacturer has done when creating this figure, and donate a portion to children's charities.

Minor (I hope) formatting suggestion: Start with the LEGO number instead of set name, then limit the length of the title. This will cut off the set name, but will keep the titles to 1 line per box. Since we already have a picture of each set, the completeness of name is less important So, instead of: Buzz Bo Peeps Playground Adventure: 10768 Display this: 10768: Buzz Bo Peeps Playg

Idk, image looks photoshopped to me
