NFT - Lego Sets
I figure that there are a lot of parents on CP buying sets for their kids and adults who still enjoy putting together more complicated Lego sets so I thought I would share. While browsing through Reddit I came across a company called Lepin/Nouago who makes knockoff lego sets. Most everyone on that subreddit had great things to say about them so I placed an order for "The Old Fishing Store".

Lego sold (it is now a retired set) it for $150 and it sells for twice that on eBay now. I paid $70 including shipping and the set arrived in less than 2 weeks. The quality of this set is amazing. Everything locks in tight and the attention to detail is phenomenal.

Lepin also sells sets like the Millenium Falcon UC for $236 when the original set was sold by Lego for $800... among a ton of other Star Wars builds.

The site I purchased from (specifically the Lepin Collection): https://www.yourwobb.com/collections/lepin

BTW I intend to buy a ton of mini figures for my son. They are about 75 cents on AliExpress.com...that's worth waiting a month for shipping. I can get him the entire star wars and ninjago collections (and the Lord of the Rings stuff for me )

beware from what I've read the figures are often not correct, they re-use parts from other sets to get close, but things like hair/masks can be wrong.


also, the biggest knock seems to be fit, so especially for younger kids who will want to handle the built set it is more likely to fall apart.

Yea, I get that. For 8,9, and 10 year olds who only play with them they'll be fine. Thanks for the heads up though.

Saw a knockoff Lego set that was a model of Himeji castle. It was cool looking but not worth the price.

My daughter found these for me for Christmas. I am the guy in a red of course. On the back it has my name. Surrounded by Mountain Dew. You can personalize legos from some company

Read up on www.reddit.com/r/lepin

Several people have built it and have discussed the issues they have had while building it. Some sets have known issues and workarounds.

Glad that this now makes it possible for your kid to get the death star set. (Notice that the player doesn't say star wars but star plan). That aside, it's nearly identical.

I have a general LEGO question. Are exclusives or limited editions actually temporary items? If so, how long are they usually available?
