Any word on SY370 set (Attack on Avengers tower)? Has anyone received their set yet or heard if they have started shipping yet? The Aliexpress seller gave me a tracking number although I doubt that it's legit.

I ordered my set yesterday but today I got a message from the seller that the set won't be available for another 20 days. Did anyone else get this message?

Sorry guys, this is a restricted movie, No miners allowed! Sheng Yuan SY263 miner minifigs.

Just wondering if anyone else is noticing that Aliexpress orders seem to take a lot longer now. When I buy minifigures from ebay china selllers (like super.czp or rosechen85), they ship out right away and i get them within 2 to 3 weeks. But, if I buy minifigs from AE, they don't ship until like a week later and then it takes another 4 to 5 weeks after that before I receive them, if I get them at all. Arghhh, sorry just venting.

anyone feeling like this lately? http://its-not-lego.blogspot.ca/2015/07/all-hands-on-deck.html

just wondering if SY or Decool will start making Star Trek minifigs. Anyone else interested?

I'm also an Enlighten bricks fan. For 2015, Enlighten appears to be making a foray into the town buildings, with it's Sunshine Hotel set. It's nicely detailed for the price. I've got pics and review here. http://bricksandfigs.blogspot.ca/2015/03/enlighten-1127-sunshine-hotel.html

does that mean you were banished at some point?

I just messaged the seller and she (Teresa) responded as follows ... Got my order in!

Don't forget JarJarPinks!

just found this new avengers set on AE, but after looking at the pictures, I won't be touching this with a ten foot pole. http://www.aliexpress.com/item/12pcs-lot-The-Avengers-ant-man-Magneto-the-Quicksilver-figures-The-Avengers-building-block-toys-Compatible/2048847085.html

I retired myself when my employer decided to cut all our overtime pay but still expected us to work nights and weekends. Now i live off my wife's pension, lol. I can only afford to buy real Lego if it's on sale otherwise I have to buy the cheaper clone bricks.

i always thought they were sweatshops, guess that's all changing now ...i wonder if toy makers will one day have offices that look like google's. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/china/10531412/Christmas-2013-Inside-a-Chinese-toy-factory.html

Got my Green Goblin bigifg today! http://lotsoflegos.blogspot.ca/2014/11/decool-183-green-goblin-bigfig.html

yes we have our friends on bricklink to thank for that. these lego resellers feel that the bootlegs put a dent in their set and piece reselling business so they have a vendetta to eliminate all bootlegs. http://www.brickpicker.com/forum/index.php/topic/2804-knockoff-brands-bootleg-bricks-mimicked-minifigures/page-42

Seatbelt violation. This time Good Cop lets Emmet go on a warning.

One word: Yuck. Three more words: Don't buy it. http://lotsoflegos.blogspot.ca/2014/11/lele-lego-movie-mini-figures.html

if anyone is looking for the iron man lab cheap, now is the time to pull the trigger http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Building-Blocks-Super-Heroes-The-Avengers-Action-Figures-Minifigures-Kids-Bricks-Toys-Iron-Man-Resurrection-base/2030595078.html

I can vouch for quality of this set ...except for the windscreen which came scratched up ...it's by Bozhi. Note that the image used by sellers on AE is the actual Lego set. The Bozhi has different motorbike wheels and heli wheels. The wolverine in the second shot is not part of the set .. he just happened to be nearby, so i threw him into the shot.

Really happy with the latest set arrival. It's the Sheng Yuen SY167 Fantastic Four set. more pics below. http://lotsoflegos.blogspot.ca/2014/11/sheng-yuen-sy167-fantastic-four-mini.html
