Fake Lego sets from China today carry the chance of being almost indistinguishable from the original. I have a knockoff of the LEGO Old Fishing Store - beautiful and affordable - no Lego logo on the studs - that's it. Different and amazing: the "Last of World" versions of Diner, Brick Bank, and Palace Cinema. The copycats from far east add a lot to my world of building bricks.

legos became ridicously expensive, good thing there are good decent quality knock-offs

Lego needs to put prices down and the problem will be solved. Buy chinese sets, show LEGO the right way

We at home for us and the kids (The Netherlands) NEVER buy Chinese fake. Ever. Not gonna spend our money on rip offs …and poor work conditions and what not. Thanks for the great video.

If someone think that he will save money with buying fake lego is stupid… When you buying original lego, price of those sets will be raising up over the years and when you dont want them anymore, you can simply sell them and got your money back, but if you buy fake lego, set worth is 0 bucks and in 10 years will be 0 bucks, simply as that

I have zero ethical dilemma buying fake for retired sets. If it’s retired, LEGO has already captured all the profit from the IP that they ever will. If it’s still in production, I’ll buy real LEGO. The brick quality and build experience of fake LEGO isn’t bad, but it’s still better with the real stuff. Good video, btw.

I can't see myself buying fake Lego. I have quite a few sets/pieces and didn't want the parts to be mixed together.

Nothing wrong with fake brick build legos. Doing them has a display piece, just fine. However, DO NOT get fake lego sets that use technic builds to move components. That crap doesn't work right at all.

I really hope those other companies (not just Chinese) make good, original and affordable sets to eat lego's market. Lego is becoming ridiculously expensive.

Ι have an enormous modular city with 75 modulars of which 35 lego and 40 chinese and they look awesome.first of all i didnt have the bank,the cafe corner,,the green grocer,market street,and the petshop which would cost at least 5000 euros or dollars,i got them identical for 400 euros.furthermore there are chinese modulars with great designs of their own or some brickatives modulars like university etc.There is no reason to be a lego purist except if you invest and you want to sell,otherwise there are very good and cheap choices from aliexpress

I’m all for these set .. not everyone has $1000_$1400 to spend no buildings like market square green grocer and cafe corner .. so if I can get these set cheap I will do ..

Regarding the moral angle, just buy the CN sets for retired Lego sets, you're only eating into scalpers profits otherwise anyway.

There is no Fake Lego, the only thing lego owns are the „minifigure“ and maybe the Instruktion of a set. If you call it Fake, i obly buy fake Lego because there are many other brands with the same or better quality and more printed parts and way better models. The only thing is you get no minifigures or other one‘s . More people should buy Alternative Bricks because the „Brick“ is not Lego, Lego is just an expensive Brand. Sorry for the bad English i hope you understand what i want to tell you.

You do d a fair review when comparing the two. I prefer now to say copycat Lego as that is what they are doing here. There are ALTernative companies that build and sell sets also using their own designs as you mentioned- Fun Whole and Pantasy for example and their quality is really good. This type of competition for Lego sets s just starting to ramp up so that will be interesting. As for the copycat sets - some are better than others and especially if people want a retired set than they might decide to buy that way or simply curious as you were. I simply choose not to judge people in these types of situations.

Adventures in Transylvania, that’s all I want

The second hand market for Lego is so bad and some of the older retired sets are so cool. I dont have any problem skipping these scalpers that try to earn some quick money that you worked hard for. you dont support LEGO at this point. But newer sets i always buy from LEGO and LEGO still has a special place in my heart.

I bought a fake Orient Express for $48 because i wanted a train with 4 carriages and spending $600 scared me, and it is 99% there. It is so close other than the figs which I do not care about that I am highly impressed, the gold stripe printing is FAR BETTER on the fake than the real one where it is bent, the fakes printing is perfectly straight. I was a "Lego Only" purist after some awful experience 15 years ago with bricks that would not stay together, now I will buy any not Lego. Buying Not Lego when you are into trains is pretty much the norm now, it is "fitted as standard" with most train MOCers I know because trying to get certain Lego pieces is either impossible or will bankrupt you. There are some train windows and doors where you would need to take out a mortgage to buy them, or maybe Lego never did the piece in the color you want, or the track pieces with wider curves and cross points. So many pieces to do with trains you now can get, you just have to buy not Lego, and I am now cool with that. I bought another Emerald Night, $25 instead of $700 for the Lego one, and it is 99% there and looks spectacular, its so good I just bought another so my train now will have 3 carriages...and i cant wait to see it running. Spectacular vid! a 100% ten outa ten vid...have fun building.

wow! Lego is the best but of course the non lego is much affordable esp to people like us :(

I can't stand these fake sets. Anyone who's buying them is literally supporting the stole designs from Lego. Don't call yourself a fan if you do this. If something is too expensive, just live without it. But using the excuse of something being too expensive is a joke, in my opinion.

A little history lesson. Let’s star out with Lego stealing and idea waaaaaay backin the beginning of their company history. That would be a good place to start. I have no stock in Lego. And if I like a set and it’s at a lower cost and quality is not a big discernible difference then Temu take my money but not all of it. Lol

Incredible job by Jackson!!! LOVED IT!!!!!

"That Was The Real Set" Lowkey Cracked Me Up 😂

I will be getting Adventures in Transylvania, Popcorn stand, and maybe the Antique shop

I buy and support the companies making there own original sets like funwhole, I’m actually planning to become one myself soon lol, but anyone stealing designs I’m against, while I do sympathize in the “retired modular” situation with price difference, on same hand, I’m still hard against it, because it’s really like your supporting stealing, and hurting original designers, to pay the thief for the convenience fee of ordering the parts for you, like if someone really wants to build a retired modular for cheap, you can get part list and instructions online free, and can go to webrick and order 3rd party parts yourself, for same price basically, without supporting design theft, and I know lego is huge Corp, but I can’t have double standards and say it’s ok to do to them, but not me, is how I see it, but again I’m SO down with genuine lego competition tho💪🤣 and also not knocking you or the vid, I get why “you” did this for vid lol, just speaking in general about the topic

Fake sets are good if, you want retired sets without paying the outrageous 3rd party prices I wouldn't buy a knockoff of a current set myself

I bought a knockoff Ghostbusters Firehouse , I haven't built it yet. It came in 80+ small bags and an instruction manual but the bag numbers don't seem to correspond with the steps in the manual

I liked the antique shop, popcorn, and the Transylvania one- But I wonder how much it's going to cost 😬

So u know from which country they ship the sets, and how is it worth for u too buy sets when border tax is like 30%, thats why im affraid to get it

Thieves of Tortuga was actually my #1 pic. It's by far the best pirate village I've ever seen and even better than most of the ships that were submitted, IMO. It's a killer display piece for the theme, looking straight out of the Pirates of the Caribbean ride or Assassin's Creed Black Flag.

I like them all except the antique shop. I'd probably only buy the transylvania and popcorn builds.

ONE that is any good...and you know which one. ALL I want is things that fit with all the rest, MODULAR BUILDINGS AND TRAINS...and we got nothing. Just more useless Pirate open backed nastiness, another Mushroom house and I hated the first one, Popcorn thing is okay, Antique House is nice but it is not really what will fit in...And the Halloween Display Masterpiece, so good im having two. There was at least 5 great Modulars and 3 great trains...and we get this mostly poor that have ZERO chance of selling out. Not forgetting the seriously good ship that had loads of comments but did not get chosen, Lego hates Trains, Ships and Modular buildings, and that is all I am really interested with, so another bust.

That's cool!

I have to disagree with you guys: I don't think the alternative bumblebee looks better overal. Yeah, the legs and arms generally look better, but as for everything else, I don't like how it looks at all and greatly prefer the original. But then again, I've always hated how they made the transformers look in the movies - except for the Bumblebee movie where it finally felt more like a live action version of the original cartoon (I have not seen the latest movie, so can't comment on the look of those). Perhaps a combination of the two versions would make for 'the perfect' Lego Bumblebee?

Can you post a video on how to build bumblebee the alternate way

I may buy this set on my birthday with my birthday money since for me it’s only £160

Wish i had kids to build legos with. Living dad life well! Keep it up man!

great set and nice review!
