I think they are looking cash in on the very expensive prices that the originals customs sell at - most of the figures they clone normally cost £5-10 - these custom clones go for a lot more. To be fair £1.50 for a copy of Rainbow or Zebra Batman ain't bad. Anyone got a link to the Zebra Bats on AE? EDIT - never mind! its on the Reddit
-
Got the DLP batman superman set, at least 4 of the figures are absolutely superb prints. Supes head and hair the main weeknesses as usual though. Really pleased with the Flashpoint Bats and Red Son Superman

Where did you get the flashpoint bats from? The code will do - I'm struggling to find them!
-
My Darth Vader / Threepio "Blockheadz" figures have arrived - and they are pretty cool - however the Loz bricks are approx 2 Thirds the size of normal!

Thank god! I was bereft without the thread!

Bootleg Super Heroes minifigs - worth it or not?

I've taken the plunge on the Droids and Vader ones https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Star-Wars-Mini-Building-Blocks-BB-8-R2-D2-Master-Yoda-C-3PO-Darth-Vader-Stormtrooper/32729124344.html?spm=2114.13010608.0.0.vU5j2K Update on the UCS Falcon - I seem to be missing the grey piping pieces (have black ones) - but I note they are missing off the photograph on the instructions booklet, its going to take ages to build and sometimes you begin to lose the will to live with the stupid brittle bags everywhere! The pieces have been sorted reasonably well though, however some organisation would have helped me. The Mast webbing seems fine, haven't got to that stage yet, the yellow brackets are great, seem strong (all in place) - the levers are also good, though I seem to be 3 levers short to base - not sure if thats going to be an issue or not. No missing pieces yet, only one piece was slightly warped but it bent back and is solid. Good building experience so far, connections are great, quality really really good. -

Ewok Village! http://s.aliexpress.com/Fve2m6bQ This seller is selling for half of what the others are, Pre sale though. Is it worth trying to buy and fighting with seller later when they realise they priced it wrong. Hmmm -

Hmmm Some good suggestions - what about Colossus? Personally I don't think he's Big Fig worthy either... -

Those Nexo style figures are Axl aren't they? I keep seeing him on BL - looks like a cool figure, but couldn't quite put my finger on what best to customise him as, these new ones don't help either! but at least there are some other colour options. Anyone any idea what they could be used as a base for? I'm sure theres something -

The one I was going to go with (which had 170+ orders) has totally disappeared, which is a little worrying! Store is still there, I expect they've pulled it as they had an insane amount of orders to process and who knows, the price may change https://www.aliexpre...608.0.56.m6xDKX I've gone for this one - same price (plus a free Vader buildable figure!) and seller has a lot of good feedback. Fingers crossed. -

One of the most popular sellers of the UCS Falcon (based on apparent sales) says at least another 10 days until the product will be available to ship. Hmmm. I wonder if the price will go up or down when this happens. The price *is* good... I have to do this... I'll work out the logistics of where I build it later! -

No Rancor yet, maybe today - did get the Helmet with Vader, the print is a bit thick to be honest, but if I didn't have the real one, I'd probably quite happy - the Helmet I don't have though (which is why I bought it) - almost paid £3+ for it off Lego's B&P but glad I didn't, seems a bit odd, maybe I need to adjust it - however 65p? not really a gamble is it! Anyone heard anything about Lepin's UCS Falcon? I've resolved to buy one, just need to find the best place. I seem to recall now that the Force Awakens version came through customs ok, this one is larger, but even if I do get hit, should be amazing! Not sure the wife will be that keen bearing in mind the size and time it will take to construct, but building it is bucket list type stuff for me! -

Shapeaways has mental postage costs, but I absolutely love this - I posted a couple of queries on the topic, I'd very much appreciate you taking a look when you can Blimey - they look amazing - I don't understand how/why they are so inconsistent though! -

Looks amazing - did you order the hat in yellow or green out of interest? Also are the boots dual moulded or painted? I recognise the torso - I used the same one! Did you order the coloured Shield? -

Hmm hadn't considered duty - that will almost certainly add to the cost! plus the fine from Royal Mail. -

Me too - even though I have no idea where I'd put it! No way will it retail for £100 - I reckon it will be at least twice or three times that, considering the after market prices. EDIT - ok jumped the gun there, already on for £160ish. Gosh. That's tempting -
