I just got my sy ff set. Really liking it! Next sy ff set needs to have Sue in invisible form, namor(just because), shehulk, medusa, crystal, miss marvel(she-thing), amazing bagman and benjamin and Valeria franklin and herbie would be nice too :-p

And oh yeah an ultramax figure of Galactus :-D

Need an Impossible Man too.

When i ordered my first FF set I got two Reed's and no Johnny Storm, so I made an impromptu HERBIE to complete the team while we waited for a replacement.

Oh yeah Impossible Man :-D

I also still hope for a mole man and a moloid (where i would buy me a dozen of).

Given this is a super hero thread, I'm not sure if this is of interest to anyone. But someone is making Lego dragons;

The ad says they are "enlighten" brand, but I doubt it, since Enlighten don't have anything on their website that matches. I haven't found anyone else selling them, other than that particularly AliExpress store.

Hmm... judging by the listing here;

Looks like the dragons come from Ausini.

Yea those are the DOLL brand figs. I only want the Dark Phoenix. Post when you get them. Want to know the quality on them.

Yes, of course I'll do. But as usual it will take about a month to arrive.

After looking around for a while to find the Doll brand items, I decided to ask to one of my favourite vendors. He told me tha t is a very small company with poor distribution so the reason of pricey cost...

Not sure about those DOLL minifigs, looks like the Punisher has white boots on the box but not on the fig. And how is poor Falcon going to keep up without his wings? :laugh:

I bought them essentially for Dark Phoenix and Luke Cage... :wink:

Me too. I ordered a set from ebay. I hope the printing isn't terrible. I am not very optimistic. :sceptic:

Got the SY Fantastic Four set and did some comparisons with the Decool ones here https://www.flickr.c...57648673222388/

I noticed that the Decool ones are the classic Kirby suits, whereas the SY ones are the more modern renditions. The printing on both of them are fine, except that on my Decool Human Torch the print is off center. I would definitely recommend getting either set.

Brickmamba posted an image of the SY Superman set that had the legs replaced around a week ago... It got that set around a year or so ago but the shoulders on the recent image showed that they'd been rounded.

Does anyone know if SY updated this set with newer torso shape? If so I might be tempted to pick another set up.

Bizarro was the reason I got into knockoffs. The superman set was my first order about a year ago. I ordered another set about 2 weeks ago and got it today. Here is a comparison of the torsos:

Torso is more rounded. Cape is darker purple. The torso printing is a little smaller. Overall the plastic is a bit less shiny on the body and the hair in the new one. Not sure I like the smaller printing though...things seemed to line up better in the older version.

Biggest gripe IMO is the bootleg doesn't follow the inverted S logo in the real thing.

Anybody here ever try selling their bootlegs on eBay?

I've sold quite a few. Just spares from sets I picked up cheap when there was only one in the set I wanted.

I tend to make a large listing and put them all on for £1.50 each. I clearly mark them as Lego compatible and not genuine Lego... I also did that with the new ZEA figure... Although I added the Cape and bat on those and listed it for quite a bit more.

Anyone seen this yet? Considering getting it just for something nostalgic to build.

Yes, these assorted sets by Enlighten have been out on ebay for awhile now ... i picked up the lot of 23 sets for about 14 USD back in January.

Yeah! The Pigboat scuba squad! It dosn't get any better than this. :laugh:

I do like the cannon kart, and the bicycle bandit. The tiki girl airplane looks pretty good, too.

Back to ebay and bootlegs, looks like another sweep has been made. I bought 2 items, The 8pc Superman set as the Aliexpress seller didn't pull his finger out for almost 3 weeks and The Dark Knight Set (with Bane. Gordon & Bats) - which was on for a ridiculously low price so I had to buy it.

However the seller in question (who had 16734 feedback) has been "removed from ebay" - Supes is showing as sent, but the Batman set is not. I guess I can claim back via Paypal, but that really sucks. No way to contact the seller it seems either.

Not sure what happens here, as all ebay says is that if you have paid don't worry the transaction will still go as normal (and use resolution centre if not) - however if seller has been binned off ebay why would he be obligated to do the transaction?

Looks like I'll have to be patient now and see what arrives in a few weeks, but that does but a spanner in my plan to sell off a load of my spares!
