    Bootleg Super Heroes minifigs - worth it or not?

    I did. As with all Lepin, there are a TON of unmarked bags. So you need a lot of sorters and space to work. But brick quality was very good, no missing pieces, etc. I spent several hours over the Labor Day weekend putting it together.

    My XINH 291-298 figs (ordered presale) finally came today. They're the garbage raised-print figs. Ugh.

    Lepin is really stepping up.

    Looks like you can probably use the anti-Electro head for Symbiote Spider-Man's head if you have a little brasso.

    Looks like they've been playing Spiderman Unlimited!

    I've seen Stan Lee customs, but never a bootleg. I really hope that's legit. (I bought an extra Alfred from the Batcave set to try to make my own Stan Lee, but this would be way better.)

    Hydra shield comes in two variants.

    Yeah, mine arrived, too. I don't understand why the red parts are raised and why it looks like it was done with nail polish.

    Add me to the list of folks who got the x-men set, today, too!

    I initially wondered if the red fig in the lab set was Iron Spidey, but I'm not confident in that at all.

    Giant Man isn't printed, at least in the Lego version. It uses stickers. Lepin's stickers are hit and miss, though.

    Thanks for flagging the 60s Batman figs. I have them from the actual set, but definitely wanted some spares.

    I haven't seen the hulkbuster sold separately. However, you can get any of the sets (SY 357, Decool 7110, Lele 79081, or XINH 8019) for around $12-$13.

    I have several lepin sets and none of them made me itch putting them together. But YMMV. I also don't play with them much after building. At chinese toy fair, Lepin also had new ghostbusters firehouse set and classic batcave. Looked like they just put their sticker on the actual lego box, but hopefully we'll see them soon.

    CyunSing Wholesale Trading. They also never shipped Kylo Ren's shuttle or Rey's speeder.

    Yep. It was missing some pieces, but came a several weeks ago via DHL, after 2 bogus tracking numbers and some arguing with the seller.

    Finally got the Millenium Falcon. It was missing a bag of small parts (mostly 1x2 modified plates). Assuming you get the full set and aren't missing a bag, it's good. I was able to finish without those pieces (and am digging through my spare parts to replace them). The minifigs are pretty terrible, though. Seller also gave me 2 bogus tracking numbers before getting the real one, and my order was missing three of the five sets I bought. So I'm assuming the missing bag is a seller problem, not manufacturer problem.

    Just got refunds for 2 orders from zcst201478. I think ebay suspended him.

    Lego Licensed Parts available from Bricks & Pieces

    I know. And I would expect the Nick Fury and Maria Hill pieces he picked would have triggered it.

    I'm surprised they didn't ask for proof of purchase. I've had a few rare times where a piece was missing (Hulkbuster head) or damaged (space Batman wings ripped) straight out of the box, and they always asked for the code on my instruction manual.

    [MOC] Arkham Asylum Batmobile

    That is awesome! Do you have a parts list (or LDD file)? Would love to add this to my batcave!

    Post your general LEGO Star Wars questions here

    Are the Carbon Freezing Chamber and the Droid Escape Pod ever coming to the US?

    You're right. I hadn't even thought about the possibility that it was painted onto a transparent helmet. It is a VERY, VERY good paint job and molding. And the mask is transparent, which isn't what I expected for a painted yellowjacket helmet (see, e.g., LELE and everyone else). Here's the difference between LELE and SY (if you click the picture, it should take you to a bigger version):

    Got the SY yellowjacket today. The helmet is NOT painted. It has transparent dual-molding.
