Bootleg Super Heroes minifigs - worth it or not?
wickedlemon replied to KingPixels's topic in Community
These YG Hulkbusters look way better than I expected. I may need to get some more to convert to Christmas tree decorations. Quite like the OK Hulkbuster too. -

i can't believe we're going to get this before a single Captain Britain minifigure. :( Come on China, how about a CB wave? Enough of the Spider-man. -

I'm pretty sure that Lego 'collectors' won't touch direct copies of Lego with a barge pole. If you only think of Lego in terms of 'value' of your collection. In my opinion that is a very sad reason to buy Lego. I'd be so happy if everyone that thought like that went and spent their money elsewhere. It's a toy after all. My son would like Lego superheroes, but he doesn't have enough pocket money to compete with investors and collectors and Lego purposely sets high prices to court this market. Bootleg companies are producing toys with no real monetary value, while Lego continues to chase the middle-age investors. I think there's room for both and I don't see either effecting the other. Lego sales other recent years are up and prices haven't come down. -

I'm sure that Decool page is a fan one - it popped up the same time as pages for other brands like JLB. SY had an official page, but they've gone quiet. Got my new Decool wave today and my Silver Centurion has the loosest legs I've ever seen. Lucky it's only for display. -

They've been out a long time - well over a year that I know of but probably a lot longer. -

I think they're a thin plasticard. The off-cut that was in the head hole doesn't seem to tear. -

The cloak and collar are two separate parts and it had two collars which was a bonus. The leg printing's a bit off and all the figures are a little loose round the joints. OK aren't the best brand, but at least they do their own thing rather than just copying Lego designs. -

Got my OK Civil War wave, so for those who were interested in the Ant-man and Crossbones figures: -

I think there's 12 in a retail box (2 of each). -

No Beast Boy yet. I hope the bootleggers come up with some other designs from Cosmic Clash to go with the Pirate Batman. Nice to see a 10 year old Two-Face design appearing. Has the design on Scarecrow has been flipped? -

No problem. I need the figures in this set anyway. Mystery solved. -

Got my SY363 set come today and my Supes has different hair and face (although it matches the box/instructions). -

If KF is essentially single sale DLP then that's a good thing (less to buy - more choice). We should get a new wave with Thanos in soon then? -

I wish! My AE orders section currently shows 46 pages though :) . My website is out of date, because I can't keep up with all the releases. I need to re-write it to make it more community driven so I can stop having to buy/photograph/update every figure myself. Either that or I need to take some time off work for a marathon photo session. A photo of my collection wouldn't be too impressive - it would be shelves of little plastic tubs at the moment! The DLP set does look like a straight copy of current figures. I'm glad I didn't order the KF Deadpool's then. I have so many Deadpool figures as it is, although the DLP one's are very good. DLP and KF waves do look identical in the pictures. Interesting that KF seem to be ahead of DLP in releasing figures though. I've ordered the KF Black Panther, so I'm curious to see if that's DLP. -

They all look the same to me. Any particular brand/figure you're thinking of? I have all the new OK sets on the way and they're the only brand that seem to do their own thing. I have most of the other Ant-man figures going (Lego, SY, YG, OK). -

These appeared a while back from itoys. There's four different colours in total. http://www.aliexpres...eb-d1db9f646b67 -

Never used Megao, but I think they're the same as another store (lalalemon?). I think I pissed them off when they screwed up an order and weren't at all helpful and now everything from both these stores shows as out of stock when I add it to my cart. -

Newish. By the serial I'm guessing they're the same company responsible for this: -

I had the same and that's with figures that aren't straight copies of Lego designs and without using Lego in the description. Certain VERO companies will just tell eBay to pull listings and they will - no ifs or buts. Oddly there are loads of auctions for bootleg figures which list as Lego that don't get pulled. You can't win. -
