This is a thread for discussing plastic brick building outside of the leading Danish brand, including such brands as:QMAN, Cada, Sluban, Mould King, COGO, Cobi, MegaBloks/MegaConstrux, Xingbao, Pantasy, JMBricklayer, BlueBrixx, and Lumibricks (formerly Funwhole)previous thread: >>11505609
First for Sluban
>>11535551>SlubanNever got one of those before, how's quality? Just from a quick look at the sluban north america site, pic related caught my eye, damn I want this
>>11535771They are really good quality wise. My favorite "compatible" brand. They are excellent for Lego brittle colors since they dont seem to be affectedThey seem to be cheap here. I got picrel for 10 dollars
Where is the tier list?
/lg/ has fallen. Billions must be permabanned.
So I bought the bootleg KING Mos Eisley from JOOOOOY because it was sold out before Black Friday hit and all the sellers on FB Marketplace or Bricklink want like $450+ for it. It's honestly pretty good, the last time I bought a bootlego set was in 2012 and it was missing half the pieces and the minifigs looked nothing like the box, so I'm impressed how big QC jumped for bootlegs in 10 yers. This has made me start questioning whether or not it's worth buying real lego for any big "adult" sets (I bought the $300 Jango Slave 1). I am trying to decide if I want to wait until the Jabba barge goes on sale or just get a bootleg for $100. I figure the only downside to bootlegs is that the piece quality is kinda hit or miss, so I might continue to use real legos for MOCs but for sets I never plan to take apart I might get bootlegs
>>11546923Buying bootlegs is unethical, and it hurts the cause of alt-bricks
>>11546962>Buying bootlegs is unethical overcharging for worse and worse products is unethical>and it hurts the cause of alt-bricksHow?
>>11547108If it's the same pieces as Lego anyway, id rather just buy Lego. If it has unique parts like a head or pair of hands, then im defying Lego
>>11547119>If it has unique parts like a head or pair of handsThe bootleg Jabba Sail Barge has uncensored slave leia legs so that alone might make it worth itAlso I might buy the real lego one if/when it goes on sale, and that way I would have duplicate minifigs (I like to armybuild the random one-off aliens and pretend theyre street gangs of the same species that get into gang wars with eachother)
>>11546962Buying Lego is unethical, it hurts the cause of the customer.
>>11547136I don't even like minifigs anymore. I'm more about building stuff
>>11547119>defying LegoAs a consumer, you owe Lego nothingEnjoying one building block brand doesn't preclude you from enjoying other brandsBrand loyalty is a consensual prison>>11548117This
Guys what is going on with lego threads?
>>11548366Nothing? Just usual stuff
>>11535771Just built that helicopter actually, great set, fit well together.
>>11548980In case one doubts my good word
>>11548980>>11549035Hey nice, is there a gap around the cockpit or is it just not pressed down all the wayI need to try and find a Hind D set, that would be so sick for the metal gear fan in me
>>11549039Hind is just cooler looking anyways.>>11549035Nice cat. The chopper’s cool too i guess
can we discuss lego here
>>11549039The gap is from the limitations of the canopy pieces used, it could potentially flatten down a little bit more but not fully flushed.>>11549039Sluban makes a fine Hind too.
>>11546923Bootlego can be great, I got two large sets for what today would be the price of one medium set. Having cheap sets and figures makes it possible to go into debt without going bankrupt
>>11549046Sure bud
>>11535133Can Blokees get discussed here?
>>11546923Bootlegos are perfectly fine and for display pieces there is no reason to pay 3-4 times more for Lego originals. The only downside is that minis look like crap.
>>11549046Sure. It fact its the only place within the board where you can discuss without a /qa/ tier wordfight
Lego frieren arrived. Comes with multiple heads for different faces. I just wish they made the legs a bit shorter since with the cape she heightmogs my other minifigures
>>11546962>>11547119you are a retarded subhuman
Anyone have any good personal recommendations for a M1 Abrams tank set? Preferably in Olive Green
>>11552613I've only seen Abrams in desert tan or desert brown, unfortunately.
>>11552239does that white match lego white enough to use their half sized legs?
New Mega Construx general:>>11555427>>11555427>>11555427
My sluban Hind D arrived today, excited to build it
>>11557378Can it surpass Metal Gear is the question
>>11553370I dont have legs in that color but it doesn't quite work. I do have black half sized legs though and might try pairing that with a custom skirt if I can find some fabric to use.
