just ordered the medical frigate as its 15% cash back via Quidco ......worked out at 10.02 back
Ordered from Gelida as the prices are the same across the board
Almost bit the bullet and bought the huge MOC set but as there is literally nowhere in my home that it could go it will have to wait for now...well that or it uses up the space my wife uses when she divorces me and leaves
Cheers, just caught the 15% Quidco offer in time!. Ordered the Lepin Super Stardestroyer from H&H Co Ltd (as very impressed with their service when I ordered the Decool 911). Ordered from Gelida as the prices are the same across the board

My UCS AT-ST arrived on Friday, The set should have 5 axles of length "8", what I got were 5 axles of length "7".
Yep same as mine.Edited by AshVX220 on Monday 24th April 14:10
The "7" do fit so wouldnt worry about it.
I changed to spare lego ones and it was no different so put the short Lepin ones back on( I felt bad)
And im sure you can still ask seller for replacement parts up to 15 days after you have paid.
Love this thread!
Had never heard of Lepin or the like until I wondered off from my usual PH haunts.
Anyway, I'm here now (hooray I hear you cheer).
Got the Simpsons House a fortnight back for my teenage daughter. She's delighted.
Just taken delivery of the Ghostbuster set 'Grab Gtost Team' - for me, not the kids.
4,600 odd bits, a lot of which are randomly bagged. Makes finding them fun.
This will take me a while.

Been following varies builds on here and finally bit the bullet and ordered the Lepin Porsche 911 from H&H following good reports about them ,and have already had correspondence from them about the order .
Looking forward to receiving it and have managed to borrow the original Lego instruction manual easier that using the PDF on line .

Yeah, it looks like it's OK, as long as it holds together I'm not too worried to be honest. The "7" do fit so wouldnt worry about it.

Certainly not worried enough to contact the seller about anyway.WizzBang said:

I have that waiting to build too. You might want to buy a replacement large base plate as I think they all come with two plates of different thickness. Check your big square plate and it might be mega thin. Makes the whole set uneven.Had never heard of Lepin or the like until I wondered off from my usual PH haunts.

EU getting a bit shirty about the Chinese under declaring value

Started my Caterham last night.
Realised that bag numbers meant diddley and just dumped the lot on a tray - way more fun!
Went together fairly well and impressed with the quality of the bricks. Only issue was trying to distinguish between black and dark grey in the instructions.
Really good fun and pretty good quality - well worth the £25.00!!
Will be getting more in the future - tempted to get my lad the Millennium Falcon for his Birthday.

Lepin Super Star Destroyer has arrived.
Second order from H&H Co Ltd (first was a Decool 911 - mentioned earlier in this thread)
Again, arrived in less than a week and no customs charge.
First impressions:
- Some of the pieces are in re-sealable freezer type bags. I am assuming these have been repacked due to the original bags splitting (some of the other bags split very easily when I picked them up). There was also a large bag with the manual and lots of smaller bags in it. The Decool 911 had no missing pieces but I don't think I'll be as lucky with this.
- Manual is as others have said about Lepin - quite light colouring; with black pieces looking dark grey. See pic below.
- Stickers were flat (taped in the manual). I'll be replacing the Star Wnrs sticker, but glad the others were ok.
- Quality of pieces seems decent enough, but I'll know more when I start building.
The 911 took me several weeks to build due to limited free time, so I'll probably report back next year when this one is finished

Ordered the Lepin Porsche GT3 Orange one from H&H on the 28th April arrived last night 2nd May via DHL.Excellent service and paid £65 .
Not sure if I have bitten of more than I can chew looks very daunting all those pieces ,I have been given the original Lego manual so this may help and also have a PDF file as well .
One question for all you seasoned builders ..Ali express want a satisfaction confirmation note to say all is ok how can one do this as no way one can tell if every part is correct with all those packets and I will not be starting the build immediately any advice .
