I'm glad the discussion is at least partially back. If we can't post links can we still list a product number or tell people what to search for? This would be a good idea, and if necessary we can make that subreddit as active as we want it to be. There is a bootleg thread going at the bloks.hyperboard site, but looking through a few pages it seems to be about 98% Lepin based. Although since it's a Mega Bloks site the mods there are probably less likely to care enough to shut it down. I'm assuming Sebiron is referring to the Ideas projects that don't make it, but end up getting cloned anyways. The Decool Pokémon Center is actually one of them. I would think that should be OK. If SY releases another clone set with a new big fig, I would just crop out the rest of the set and post the big fig. Just for the record is Lepin pretty much blanket banned, or can we talk about stuff they take from MOC builders?

What about something like the Senbao Helicarrier? Sure it's technically copied from the Lego version, but it's been modified to be several inches bigger, has different decals(no SHIELD logos), and doesn't actually come with any marvel figs. Then there's some of the recent SY superhero sets that are exact copies of Lego sets, except they threw in a random big fig character that Lego has never made before. Is it OK to talk about the exclusive big figs, but not the sets themselves?

New Deadpool set. Pretty sure that's Kidpool at the bottom right, and the only other one we haven't seen before is the one at the middle-left of the bottom row. Cool, I was wondering where those new X-Men came from. My only complaint is that Daken's claws are wrong. I wish they'd do a comic version of Apocalypse though, and preferably as a big fig.

Since they all seem to come from the Spider-Man Unlimited Video Game, I'm guessing that 1 is House of M Spider-Man, and 8 is Classic Superior Spider-Man. Can't really be sure until we get better pictures though.

It's based on a Chinese MMO game called Fantasy Westward Journey, which is based on the Journey To The West story. There isn't a whole lot of English info about the game online, but KF is either cloning them, or just redistributing them from these sets made by a company named Winner. Just search Aliexpres for "Winner Fantasy Westward Journey" and you can see other sets.

That Enlighten minifig set with the Chinese vampire has been posted at a lower price. Link here ****Edit**** Just found an image of the 1502b set on a Chinese site

It's Ninjago fig, hopefully they get more of SY's superhero big figs up soon. Does anymone know where the KF092 Deathstroke is from? It's a lot like the one from SY295, but with a different mask and shoulder pads. It's been on Aliexpress for a while, but still hasn't come up for single sale.

Not sure how many of you are familiar with Nanoblocks or Diamond Blocks, they're kinda like a miniature version of Lego bricks. The bootleg Nanoblock producer LOZ just successfully manged to take legal action to shut down 3 other bootleg Nanoblock companies, and some people at those companies are actually gonna spend a few years in jail now. You can read about it here. I wonder if this could be an indication of how the upcoming Lego vs. Lepin trial might go.

That's New 52 Superboy

Kinda seems like they wanna get as much stuff out as they can, before anything happens.

Even if they only go after Lepin, I think this could still effect the other companies too, because it could scare some of them off. At worst some companies may decide to shut down to avoid any issues, or they might just put a delay on any new products until this all blows over.

Those horror movie figs come from this guy: https://minifigs.me/product-category/our-minifigs/film-and-tv/horror-films/ Hopefully they make more stuff from him, there's a few more figs I would like to see made.

Does anyone know who made that Darth Malignus figure that was released a while back? None of the Aliexpress sellers I've looked at list the brand name, thanks in advance.

I'm pretty sure this SY Marvel set is new, but it's too bad that they're all repeat characters.

I'm not a customizer, but i feel like it wouldn't be to difficult to turn those ammo clips into claws with a bit of cutting and filing.

This seller has them: https://www.aliexpress.com/store/2204143?spm=2114.10010108.0.28.PkMmqJ Or if your willing to pay a bit more you can get plain unprinted figs here: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Pop-custom-transparent-blank-unpainted-Minifigure-DIY-MOC-Legokind-minifgure-building-blocks-toy-Trans-blue-clear/32277887919.html?spm=2114.01010208.3.89.PjKQ2y&ws_ab_test=searchweb201556_0,searchweb201602_1_10065_10068_10067_112_10069_110_111_10017_109_108_10060_10061_10062_10057_10056_10055_10037_10054_301_10033_10059_10032_10058_9914_10073_10070_10052_10053_10050_10051,searchweb201603_7&btsid=5d9b0bd5-a0a0-4eb0-accf-5bd11757b837

It would be about $15.28 or €13.6

Not sure when it will be on Aliexpress. I was just trying to find more images when I found it for sale on another Chinese site which is also owned by Alibaba, so I would think it should be popping up on Aliexpress soon. You can see bigger images on that site here: https://detail.1688.com/offer/537965129156.html?spm=0.0.0.0.EFV9CD

Glow in the dark dinos, I wonder how much longer it will be until they make translucent ones...

Found a couple of better images for that Decool Pokemon Center posted a couple pages back. It seems to be copied from this failed Lego Ideas project: https://ideas.lego.com/projects/87738

Yet another Pokemon set, with Team Rocket Henchmen. I really wish these companies would stop doing the same Pokemon over and over again, they only have 721 to choose from, plus various form differences.

Dargo' making Nexo Knights style superheroes now New LEBQ Pokemon New LELE Poke Ball and Great Ball

Lol, a giant beer bottle, it's even taller than a minifig... Sometimes I wish I could sit in on the brainstorming sessions with the people who come up with this stuff.

I'm pretty sure this is new. Lepin Black Pearl And lots of new Pokemon sets Whats with the hard hats? Anyone ever seen this Bull Holding A Sword Brand before? Realistic Pokemon, I wonder if these ones actually have peg holes in their feet. I'm not so sure about the Pikachu's, but the others look like the might.
