  9. The issue is that it looks too good, and the quality is catching up. At first these sets had terrible clutch power, and now they're hulklike. They'll all eventually figure it out in the end. Lego has decades of time ahead of them, and they've mostly caught up already. Lego will be fine, but as I pointed out before this is going to hurt resellers. You saved $542 versus the price on Amazon today. The younger generations mostly have no care about IP holders, and will happily buy cheap identical products. It's not great for part dealers either. Sites like Webrick can import rebrickable csv files now and will ship you all of your offbrand MOC parts in one shipment. No more sorting through sellers only to find out that they have a lot limit, or wild fees. If you don't mind bootleg bricks, of course. lol I do like looking back to the start of this thread and saying that this needs to be watched closely, and seeing responses like. Though trolling the bootleg reddit page was a magical time that I enjoyed thoroughly, this was always going to be an issue, it just got worse when necessities started being gouged to continue record profit streaks. Money for desires went down, so alternatives will suffice for many. And for the younger folks, many were never given the opportunity to care about brand at all. The jacked up prices for necessities is now normalized.

  10. Thanks @Pseudoty Following closely as I have a large marstoys order on the way. I think its worth noting that clone bricks have varying quality and their merits are debated online with differing opinions. Looks like your OFS is manufactured by Mork which is L..EPIN bricks per the below. GoBricks seems to have the largest fan base, with some going so far as to say better than lego which i doubt so definetly looking forward to a review on a GoBricks set.

  11. Just finished the Flego “Old Fishing Store”. I remember when this set first came out that I was not looking forward to building it because my OCD requires all the bricks be aligned perfectly. There were stickers as I got further into the build and I found the sticker sheet in the instruction manual that I was not using. The quality of the stickers is good as they are a little thicker than Lego which makes applying them easier but the prints are not as detailed on some. Some of the printed tiles were changed like the newspaper called LEGO Times to Logo Times but most were identical. The main issue with the set was the clutch power of the elements being too strong. This makes parts of the build difficult like when applying all of those sand green 1x6 plates you really need to press them on firmly as well as the lattice and railing elements. This is harder on your fingertips, takes more time and really decreases the joy of the build experience. If you make a mistake taking apart some of these pieces requires a knife and being careful not to damage the elements or cut yourself. No way you are disassembling this set entirely. Other differences: the translucent elements are not as clear as Lego, the chains need to be built a link at a time, and the minifigure headgear doesn’t fit perfectly. There were no missing pieces, twice I thought there were but they were in the next bag. There were a few random extra pieces pictured including 2 extra chains. Once I thought there was a color swap of two 1x2 plates but by the time I realized this I figured it was just my error in the build tan for light tan and it wasn’t visible so I pressed on. The set cost $30 so yes it was definitely worth it and a good way to add these “White Whale” sets to your collection, but I would not look to go this route over current new sets. I did order Apocalypsburg as well but my fingers are not looking forward to the build and doubt I will place another order with Mars Toys. To the people that say there is NO difference from Lego they either don’t know Lego well enough or are fooling themselves to justify their purchase perhaps. Although the injection mold marks are much less noticeable on the Flego and some of the specialty parts like the fish are perfect. Next up is the Pantasy Bakery which I am really looking forward to since supposedly these Go Bricks are as good as Lego.

  14. GF built the Globe. She said: “The structure inside is amazing and building the hemispheres was very satisfying to me but it is repetitive and the gaps make the set look unfinished, also they should have included a part to cover the exposed technic beam at the bottom of the globe like they did for the top”. We had to add a few spare pieces on to cover it. This is a great display piece but I can’t see many people buying it in 2 to 3 years for $400 when they can just get a real globe for their home or office. Up next is the Typewriter which looks to be the most complex technic build ever.

  15. 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.
