Hahaha xD whilst dancing to country and western music

As far as I can tell all of the bootleg designs come from custom designers that print on real lego such as onlinesailin popunkmunky etc who have copied some of the Lego game designs. So will depend on which ones they have designed in the first place, and then which ones the bootleggers decide to copy.

Yes :) I have only had one brand that wouldn't allow it, and think that was Dargo!

Ofcourse :) https://www.aliexpress.com/item/8-PCS-lot-Original-MOC-Figures-Dragon-Guy-Pop-Fairy-Star-skeleton-Warrior-Monk-Building-Block/32808118872.html?spm=2114.01010208.3.16.oaMrZA&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_1_10152_10065_10151_10068_10130_10136_10137_10157_10060_10138_10155_10062_10156_10154_10056_10055_10054_10059_10099_10103_10102_10096_10052_10053_10142_10107_10050_10051_10084_10083_10119_10080_10082_10081_10110_10111_10112_10113_10114_10179_10181_10037_10182_10078_10079_10077_10073_10070_10123_10120,searchweb201603_9,ppcSwitch_5&btsid=605c0d1f-2eed-45fe-82a8-976117e485ab&algo_expid=c19bcfbd-c962-4bad-aefa-34210caf24ed-2&algo_pvid=c19bcfbd-c962-4bad-aefa-34210caf24ed Link for the full series is above, I haven't seen them for single sale unfortunately, which sucked a bit as I wouldn't really want the baseball player, guitar player, fairy or cat tamer. But then there the other figures that are good, and then some nice pieces that will be useful for customizing. Cat tamer's hair for instance is a new mould.

I agree :) I ordered it yesterday! I quite like the rickshaw build that comes with it. Will look cool with the Lego animal suits and the previous enlighten bear. The skeleton warrior looks pretty cool too!

An awesome collection :-D

I said this was happening ages ago. I remember somebody posted that it was because Lego complained to Aliexpress about the term "minifigure" being used. So all the stores using that term in their listings were shut down, many re-opened under different names. Whilst I think some took their listings down and relisted everything again, because some stores were reposting really old stuff after newer stuff.

Although if they don't buy the license for Aliens, Akira etc then they are still technically breaking the copyright for the those license holders lol

Definitely, but both are a different version than the figure which came in the Official collectable minifigure collection I meant :) Ah, that would definitely suggest drawing on different inspirations. Which is good, as too many Batman variations suit variations is beginning to bore me a bit. Ah, ok, so they perhaps toyed with familiar designs first when making the movie. No pun intended xD

Definitely, although having seen JLB and LEBQ figures in person I can never rule it out xD Btw I thought the new Pogo figures were Lego Batman movie, but am now thinking some of them aren't As the Comissioner Gordon has white skin and looks like the classic incarnation, whereas the movie version is either asian or mixed race. And the new penguin looks a lot like penguin from the original Batman returns movie!

That Orange hair would be perfect for Medusa!!! I had that at some point, but cut one side off to use as a single ponytail... can't remember which character I used it to represent though lol Also just found real picture of the medusa https://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/Building-Block-KL026-Custom-Medusa-20pcs-lot-Super-heroes-Cute-Figures-Inhumans-Royal-Family-Toys-Kids/1041264_32803839230.html?spm=2114.12010615.0.0.pCTefO Looks like a reasonable print! Same store also has a white suit Iron fist, and a new Mr Bean figure.

lol true :P although might just be that it's a smaller image. As if you squint at the larger image the scraggleyness isn't noticable. The simpler designs might be ok, this might just be a bad example too. Fingers crossed, as I'd quite like the inhumans. And the yellow female torso a few times as a base for custom figures.

wow this looks like it was drawn with felt tip, doesn't bode well for the others by this brand. Though will have to wait and see.

Hahah Same, I would have preferred the old design with the white green and bulbess hat! And wish they had done Gorgon and Tritan, like you said sticking to one theme would have been preferable. Although they are on single sale, so can dip in and get the ones I want :) Same for Dazzler... I thought she was hope for a moment in some new costume or something.

I think she might mean printed as other heroes other than those from the Hellicarrier :)

KL027 is supposed to be Karnak from the Inhumans, I checked Leyile's site this morning to find out! :)

lol sorry, I copied it started typing the description and then didn't paste it https://www.aliexpress.com/item/10pcs-lot-Star-Wars-SAND-STORMTROOPER-TATOOINE-minifigure-Dewback-Sandtroopers-building-block-sets-toys-Compatible-legao/32549200242.html?spm=2114.13010208.99999999.270.knYrd1

This might be of use, I bought some of these a while back and they had about 6 weapons with each figure. So one long storm trooper rifle, one stormtrooper blaster, one hand blaster etc so if these haven't been opened then you should essentially have 60 weapons in there. And then just use the cruddy stormtroopers for parts, as it's still way cheaper than the original blasters that are over £1 per piece. Check with the seller first though as to how many weapons per figure.

That is possible! :) and definitely the preferable option, I need my fix lol

The store culling continues, Kopf has now seemingly shut down https://www.aliexpress.com/store/all-wholesale-products/125088.html?spm=2114.12010608.0.0.le5KUc

Thanks for the heads up :) I went and checked the reddit...first set that has me excited in a while!!

Are Aliexpress having a mass cull? I saw someone say one of the stores had been shut down for using the term "minifigures", This store https://www.aliexpress.com/store/1357357/search?origin=n&SortType=new_desc has shut now too was called minifigure wholesale - so perhaps for the same trademark infringement? Jacksun is now empty too though https://www.aliexpress.com/store/1853235/search?origin=n&SortType=new_desc

That King arthur set looks wicked!! I like those helmets. I saw those this morning on AE, and got excited for a moment. Then I noticed Blue, Black, Yellow and White have remiscant detailing. Red and Pink just have mail box openings on their helmets, pink has a male print torso, and green doesn't look like the gold trimmed visor he had either. Considering how cheap the detailing is, they could atleast get it right. I am going to wait for a better version, perhaps with moulded helmets, as I am sure when the movie drops every company will be pumping them out.

Awesome collection! Did you make those? :) Also new swat set....although at this point I think I am all swatted-out, and done with modern military, unless they do something really innovative.

I know :) I think SY and Decool would wind down for the Chinese New Year and then rather than make a batch and release, they would create their entire inventory and release it after a delay. Everyone would say, "There has been nothing from Decool... have they been shut down", then someone else would say "My uncle's, cousin's, daughter in law in china, heard that they have been shut down" Literally every year it would happen and people would go onto a big hyperbole about it being "The end!" XD Looks like Xinh and Pogo are quicker on picking up the slack. "I guess the Dr who set is Pogo" (And Xinh game of thrones) BTW I just noticed there is a slightly different new big fig red hulk xinh 543, might suggest a new hulk based wave.
