Sabbath Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 (edited) http://www.aliexpres...=66324281837477 seems rather pricey. I got the official version of the Spidey/Electro set for 15AUD in a retail store. This listing is literally more expensive than the real deal at approximately 18.77AUD.

Robianco Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 http://www.aliexpres...=66324281837477 seems rather pricey. I got the official version of the Spidey/Electro set for 15AUD in a retail store. This listing is literally more expensive than the real deal at approximately 18.77AUD. Well the listing is for all 4 of them... and to be honest the £9 price for all of them would be worth it just for the 2011 SDCC Batman if it's a good print.
pmptstc1 Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 I had to that Sentinel set at that awesome price. Thanks!

LEGO should release an exclusive Decool or SY fig (e.g. Odin or big fig Groot) for April Fool's day -- just to troll them. Edited March 19, 2015 by agoodfella77
jangosolo Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 I think I am getting withdrawals of new stuff - have bought up some old sets in the last 2 weeks - I like having a stream of items coming in! Had some good prices mind, I wish I had bought more of those super cheap ones now!! Looking forward to the Ghostbusters, though I suspect that the pic was the official lego ones! Also had a crack at the Rocket Raccoon Warbird for £5 - seemed rude not to! I have caved and bought up Ultron, new Black Widow and Vision - I know SY or Decool will clone them ultimately but we'll see - there are still loads of characters to do and I can't wait! LEGO should release an exclusive Decool or SY fig (e.g. Odin or big fig Groot) for April Fool's day -- just to troll them. Still loving that Thor mod - I did the trousers, but need to get hold of that helmet!
agoodfella77 Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Still loving that Thor mod - I did the trousers, but need to get hold of that helmet! Thanks buddy -- right back at you -- that Super Skrull MOC is awesome!
jangosolo Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Thanks buddy -- right back at you -- that Super Skrull MOC is awesome! Cheers - as dubious as bootlegs may be, it has opened the doors for me for cheap parts to customise, I am having loads of fun doing it, so much I have had to expand my display space. My kids marvel at it, my wife... tolerates it.. ha. There is an amazing community on Flickr, some are amazing at detail and paints, I'm always delighted to get one fave! Lego FTW!
robuko Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 LEGO should release an exclusive Decool or SY fig (e.g. Odin or big fig Groot) for April Fool's day -- just to troll them. Like the tumbler Joker? $200 for a clone of a clone of a custom.... I have picked up the Dargo Transparent super hero series. Bad moulds, good prints. Also the elephant mark iron man series, surprisingly good quality both print and moulds.
Robianco Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Lego already make exclusive releases of bootlegs... they're called SDCC figures ;) And to think.... I was seriously considering finding a pad printer to do a 2011 SDCC Bats for me... I've got the artwork ready and everything... £9 for 4 sets with that one included seems like a better option.
KCMatze Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Just the one for now but once I know it's shipped I very well may order another one! If so then I'll let you know! ;) Thanks

wickedlemon Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 (edited) So has anyone had their figures arrive from that big sale the other week (Fun Club on Aliexpress)? My tracking number says it was delivered today, but I've checked with the post office and it was collected in Northampton about 150 miles away. Anyone here had a parcel in Northampton? I wonder whether the seller gave me someone else's tracking number. Edit: Heard back from seller, who says they are going to resend the parcel as they sent it to the wrong address. Someone got a surprise parcel of awful figures then. Edited March 21, 2015 by wickedlemon
raminator Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 And to think.... I was seriously considering finding a pad printer to do a 2011 SDCC Bats for me... I've got the artwork ready and everything... How many colors and how many sides? If you'd do padprinting like I tried you could get everything you need for printing for less than 300€. If you need more info, feel free to contact me.
Robianco Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 How many colors and how many sides? If you'd do padprinting like I tried you could get everything you need for printing for less than 300€. If you need more info, feel free to contact me. You could probably get away with three colours on two sides of the torso. Metallic bronze, metallic silver and grey. Metallic inks don't normally require a base coat as they're very opaque and as the other colour is a grey then a white base coat shouldn't be required.
hello99 Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Hi Everyone, Just joined this forum. I was wondering if anyone has found these cheaper anywhere? http://www.aliexpress.com/item/6pcs-lot-Iron-Man-Base-building-blocks-Iron-man-warehouse-Green-plastic-DIY-toys-for-children/1696658103.html Actually, would love to make something like this: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/?showtopic=82642 But don't know where to get parts/plans? Or does anyone have a better hall of armour suggestion that is easy on the wallet? Thanks.
soltari007 Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 I had to that Sentinel set at that awesome price. Thanks! Have you received your set yet? :)
pmptstc1 Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Have you received your set yet? :) I only ordered it a few days ago, so I'm not expecting it for at least a couple weeks. I've ordered from that seller a few times, and he is the fastest shipper i have dealt with on AE. Does anyone know if the Sy Sentinel set has printed pieces for the sentinel?
kid Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 here comes BLACKBOLT!!! Where did you see the picture? From the number on the box (SY208C) it looks like a set of 4 figures with small builds. I wonder who else we are getting. Thoughts?
raminator Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 You could probably get away with three colours on two sides of the torso. Metallic bronze, metallic silver and grey. Metallic inks don't normally require a base coat as they're very opaque and as the other colour is a grey then a white base coat shouldn't be required. Ok. I think you should be able to get everything for 250€. Or you could ask at NACM what the price for 200 Torsos is.

Robianco Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Well they've recently copied their Daredevil so there's a chance they might. I don't think SY have done their Bullseye either. Interesting that we've seen a 'leaked' box image rather than the regular cgi images. There'll definitely be 3 more for this wave though... Maybe a Spiderwoman to complete the SDCC figures?
kid Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Maybe Wasp and Black Panther (nacm did those)? Considering the Blackbolt is a copy of the NACM design it stands to reason the rest could be. Maybe also the generic Shield agent.
Borex Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 I'd rather see the sdcc spiderwoman then a generic shield agent since there's gonna be one in the miles morales spidey set this summer. Anyone have an idea where the cannon is based on? From the game maybe? Also the box says black flash instead blackbolt :-s
