The LEPIN "LEGO" for non sensitive types
Discussion
That F40 looks good.
In mid March I ordered a DeCool Caterham kit (close copy of the Lego Caterham kit), and a version of the Lego Speed Champions Audi Quattro S4 - from yourwobb. Communication was good, I got a tracking ID fairly promptly - and was able to watch my post sitting at an airport (Shangai) for while, as the pandemic got going...
We (it was half bought as diversion for my 6 year old) did the Audi one evening. Good kit, I was surprised to see the stickers had been amended - Audi was Adui, etc. Other than that I wouldn't have guessed it wasn't Lego.
The DeCool Caterham has also been good, but say 98%, rather than 100%. A few pieces didn't fit as well as Lego would have, there was one piece that looked a bit like someone had melted it, and a couple of pieces missing. I've emailled off and hopefully i'll get them sent out.
However - i'd still say it was worth the price - £25 all in (including the delivery), so not a lot more than the Audi would have cost if I had got the Lego one!

Inspired by this I ordered the F40 from joooooy on the 10th May, it arrived today! 10 working days under these conditions is pretty damn good. This will be my second model after receiving a DB5 from my PH Secret Santa, hopefully they’re on here so will know they’ve started something! 
Knock off Hogwarts, bought off Aliexpress "Mould King Store" for £125 (with and extra £25 of import charges on delivery) but I thinks it's a Lele "Justice Magician" not the new King/Queen brand.
Family lockdown build started last week of April without numbered bags a fair ammount of time was spent hunting parts but it's not like we were in a hurry.
Disapointtingly there are probably about 20 pieces missing, nothing that couldn't be worked around but added to the frustrating part search at times.
All in all a fun but at times very challenging build. I was pre-warned about how difficult it was to assemble the main tower sides and it really was one of the hardest build steps I've ever done. I think it could have been done diffferently and certainly I had to assemble in a different order with added supports to get it together.

I've just ordered the Saturn V on aliexpress, the first model I've ordered for 'me' in years. Just couldn't face spending £200 on the real one.
Which did you go for? I’m in a similar situation - really regret not picking one up when they were available and reluctant to pay £200+garethrobinson said:

It was great.. time to find the next one! I rarely switch off and getting some quiet time doing something like this gives me the opportunity. Plus I’d bought my son the small Lego version a couple of weeks back so we’re twins now!
Hi - could you send a link to the seller that you bought this from please? Looking to buy from aliexpress, but finding that site a bit of a mindfield tails007 said:

Sure, it came from joooooy after a recommendation on here. The guy has a busy Facebook group which he regularly interacts with and lots of positive feedback. Currently shipments are going out via air not boat/train at no extra cost - mine arrived in 2 weeks. The sites slightly more expensive than you’ll find on ali, but for me it was worth the extra.
