Oh wow - certainly worth the punt for $50

All i have to do now is somehow sneak yet another 'lego set into the house!
I have resisted till now.....and now I have a War Series Compatibility Millennium (falcon) and an Classic Film Television Building Blocks Puzzle Educational Toy (X wing) on the way, I am going on the basis its better to seek forgiveness than ask permission!!
My Millennium Falcon (War Series Compatibility Millennium ) has arrived, will start building it on Saturday when a nephew comes over:

Yes me too - just got a mail to say refunding my paypal payment, but no other explanation.

Piss poor if you ask me.
Been in dialog with Gearbest over there sharp practice taking customers orders for one price then refunding days later and then doubling the price off the goods .Needless to say they have no interest neither has PP in getting involved .As a protest would any one thinking of buying toys etc please refrain ,on principle I will never use them ever even if I saw goods cheaper .

Has anyone bought any of the modular buildings in Lepin form? I was wondering if there were printed pieces like the Lego equivalents and the mirrored stickers in the Detective Office were of the same standard?

Try BrickLink, or search for the part number on Ebay,that usually throws something up.

As someone else said, just order it through the lego website. It's free.

Got a Lepin Voltron for Christmas, really happy with it and finished it last night, came in numbered bags and actually had extra pieces, nothing missing.



Got the other half a WALL-E set which was equally spot-on.

He wasn't in numbered bags, hence the cups. smile

Finished off the Shanghai Skyline recently to add to our Great Wall set. Both had no missing pieces and the quality isn't far off Lego really, they grip well and the main obvious difference is that each brick has one knobbly stud where the plastic must be poured into the mold:



Now doing the Imperial Flagship. Would have genuinely love the official Lego one but I'll simply never be able to afford it and this one was bought in China for some silly price like £35 so couldn't resist really. It's great anyway :

All finished. Really nice build that I gather is identical to the official set. I do love Lego ships and this one has lots of nice little details.



Have one last Lepin to do, which is Queen Anne's Revenge, then I don't really intend to buy anymore, but we'll see.

Who’s the go to retailer for Lepin nowadays? Seems to change on a daily basis!

After some retired sets and I’ll be damned if I’m paying ridiculous money for them.

I just go with whoever has a decent price and good feedback on Aliexpress. I think every set I have bought was from a different seller and I haven't had any problems so far.

Has anyone mentioned yet the LED kits you can get for lepin/lego sets? Search on any of the standard chinglish sites and they should pop up, custom kits for each model. A mate has just installed some on his Saturn V kit and it's surprisingly awesome.
