The LEPIN "LEGO" for non sensitive types
Discussion
Ordered the Lepin VW T1 Camper Van from Dreamhouse in early December last yer, which arrived after about 7 days. Finally got round to opening the package and checking the parts. Looks like it's just missing the red rubber belt and one white 3 x 2 wedge plate, so ordering these from Bricklink. However a friend who ordered the same Campervan a few hours after I placed my order had to wait over 3 weeks for his delivery, that also had a few missing parts.
I have since ordered the Mini Cooper from Dreamhouse, this arrived in less than 2 weeks, but I received a Lele model rather than a Lepin. I am not too worried about this, and the instructions look identical to the Lego ones. I couldn't do a thorough check for missing parts (as it was a gift and I didn't want to open the bags) but the parts I could check were correct in number. So a bit hit and miss with Dreamhouse but I would still be ok ordering from them again.

Good morning,
as I noted on my previous post, I was missing a lot of parts on my Lepin 05034 Imperial Shuttle UCS (nearly 200 ...). I talked to the seller on Ali Express and after sending him the pics and numbers of pieces missing he will contact the factory right away and try to have them as soon as possible.
A lot of guys here are asking about trustworthy sellers on AliExpress. I can recommend Gelida for sure. Even if I had some problems before, the seller always solve them for me and was quick to answer my questions and in pretty decent English. This seller has many shops, I know 2 for sure, Gelida - https://www.aliexpress.com/store/2310030 and Lepinbrick Store - https://www.aliexpress.com/store/2341261
And fake tracking number and long delay before sending the package is quite common on Ali Express but most of the time it is all good.
Have a good day.

Thank you for sharing your experience! I think that seller probably also runs 'ToysLepin Block Store' (going by the two min figures and store name logo).as I noted on my previous post, I was missing a lot of parts on my Lepin 05034 Imperial Shuttle UCS (nearly 200 ...).

I would like to find those who are buying mini figures and the shops they have good experiences with (and bad!). I note that shops that sell the larger sets often do not carry the smaller sets and those that often carry a lot of the smaller sets do not carry a lot of larger sets and neither of these types of sellers seem to sell the mini figures! Those that do sell mini figures do not seem to sell larger sets (or medium sets) …
Hi again
On the 8th I ordered the Lepin R2D2 UCS set from Gelida and it's arrived this morning which is amazing service.
One thing of note is that they have shipped me the LeLe set and NOT the Lepin one.
This happened with my UCS imperial Shuttle as well (which was perfect it has to be said).
Also ordered Tantive IV from Dream House but no novement at all so far on shipping info of any sort. So a massive hats of to Gelida and this just seems to echo reports from others

I've bought a few minifigures from a couple of sellers. The seller I have bought the most minifigures from is "fantastic works". Delivery time is quite slow and so far I have had one problem which after a few messages they did sort out. There are a few UK sellers on ebay that are selling sets of mini figures at the same prices as aliexpress or on some occasions a lower price.

My last order was placed with "dream house" on 6/2/17. It got marked as shipped on 13/2/17 by DHL. Checking the DHL website with the tracking number it states Shipment information received & my hometown is listed as the destination. Fingers crossed that will be here soon.On the 8th I ordered the Lepin R2D2 UCS set from Gelida and it's arrived this morning which is amazing service.

I will be giving Gelida/ToysLepin Block Store for my next larger order. I just cant decide which to get. My daughter wants the star destroyer or ghostbusters but I quite fancy one of the technics style sets for a change.
Its a shame lepin don't do the Ghostbuster ecto 1 to go with the firehouse.

When I was thinking about doing this, I thought the original and Lego Ecto 1 looked to be the best style, and wasn't horrifically expensive. It seems to have gone out of stock now though. Lego 21108 is the one I was looking at...The newer one looks pants compared to it.

I will take it bud. PayPal gift ok ? Give me a shout when you have it mate.
Took delivery of a DeCool Porsche from H&H a few weeks ago and finally completed it this weekend.
It is a stonking build and a very impressive model..much bigger than I imagined. Will need to find somewhere suitably massive to display it!
Quality of parts is just as good as the real thing in my opinion...all parts were included & even had about a dozen spare pieces left over.

I see Lepin is going to be releasing their version of the 'The Big Bang' set:
https://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?ltype=wholesa...
However, the presell price is more expensive than the currently available local price for the Lego set:

(i know, chinese new year and all that, but still)OK, so I pulled the trigger on the Lepin R2-D2 from Gelida. Unfortunately my bank has now rejected to pay it twice on my debit card (I'm now in the US, which may be causing problems) after asking for a verification code, which I put in and having to do an online security thing saying I recognised the transaction.
Anyone got any thoughts? I still have it ordered, I just haven't been able to pay yet, I take it they wont send it until Aliexpress confirm I've paid as Aliexpress hold the money until I confirm I recived it and all OK.
