Big Boss Posted March 21, 2024 Report Share Posted March 21, 2024 Not legos but these model kits are fun too. Got Vegeta and Frieza is on the way. Anyone else tried these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bird Bird Bird Posted March 30, 2024 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2024 Retro camera - pretty fun build, colorful from inside, but drab from outside. Still, looks quite cool. All the gears to play ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordSpymaster Posted September 27, 2024 Report Share Posted September 27, 2024 Has anyone tried the knock off brands from Jooooy? I'm looking to get some F1 and LOTR sets, and they're around 25% of the price of the original ones. Looking for reviews of these bootleg brands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mysteryman Posted December 30, 2024 Report Share Posted December 30, 2024 (edited) If those 18+ Lego technic kits weren't so expensive ($200+), I would have tried it out. I like the Ferrari, Bugatti and Millennium Falcon but prices are $450-$1000 Edited December 30, 2024 by Mysteryman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could see differences in brick build and decal quality. Whatever is manufactured in China, they steal the tech/patent and build bootleg factories. China is copycat king. I can see why Japan does not outsource to China (i.e Gunpla). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly the cheap one is almost 80% of original, chinese killing it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a McLaren knockoff that I'm yet to build, will post that in a few weeks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtheK Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 It's finally ready, need to figure out a way to hang this on the wall now. I am planning to go for a custom wall hang like seen on Instagram. The length of the lego compared to a 14" laptop. Sitting pretty at the table for now, till I get the wall hang. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems that you need to buy furniture or hang them like below to display them properly. Interested in the Concorde and Endurance. Will get them in next sale.
