- I bought a LEPIN Super Escort Hulkbuster 07101 from Aliexpress for $36.80. This is the knockoff/bootLEGO version of LEGO Superheroes 76105 The Hulkbuster Ultron Edition. I unbox, build, and review it.

The torso is backwards. Didn’t even notice. Probably my Lepin eyeglasses.
brickitect hi I love your channel I noticed the torso and thought I wonder how many people commented about this
I was about to say something about it until I saw your comment.
Lol
Please melt it or do a drop set :))
Don't feel bad. I did the same with mine and I have the lego version. The feet are not loose like yours are either. Great set for 36 dollars
'You wouldn't have the head stuck in the helmet on a real lego minifig'
I'm sorry, you are wrong.

I think he meant that it isn’t as difficult as lepin
Ya this man is crazy
I have over a thousand lego minifigs, and I have NEVER gotten a "head stuck in the helmet" of any of them. The heads don't get stuck, lego has too good quality control for that!
BENAMIN Mobile my lego exo force minifigs would like to have a talk with you lol

I don't know what universe your living in but I always get heads stuck in helmets on legit LEGO minifigs. Sometimes hair too

But only after months of not touching the figure

"Kids love no matter what it is. Kids love buildable stuff." True thing. I remember it when I was a kid, I NEVER got any lego sets cause they were very expensive. So I used to get those buckets of cheap generic buildable blocks and I still loved to play with it!
You missed out
Yeah it's true when I'm like 7-8 like that my mum used to buy me lepin and SY Lego bootlegs cuz it was too expensive and my mum can't afford it
Now I'm 13 I know what quality is •́ ‿ ,•̀
I remember my cousin had "Chinese Lego" (probably Japanese, we just knew it had unreadable writing on it) mixed in with his real stuff. I innocently used a part of that for something I was making and got shrieked at for it, because normal lego would get jammed on it.
I A L W A Y S had LEGO none of that bootleg crap

I’m gonna be 100% honest, this looks really well for a knockoff
Yea I've bought the Lepin version of some large expensive Ninjago sets and they came out great, especially the temple of airjitzu
Yeaaaa the issue with these knock-off brands is rarely their LOOK - it's more often the quality of the parts themselves. The tolerances and quality of the plastic are not as good, so you get a lot more bent plates, more loose-fitting connections between parts, etc. Lego spends a lot of R&D money on making sure all their parts are made to fit together really well with just the right amount of clutch power to hold a model together, where as the knock-off brands will often be way too loose to keep connected OR so tight they're difficult to snap together and then nearly impossible to take back apart.
I have 2 one because I wanted an AT-AT and the 2014 one was stupidity expensive and the other was the ewok village they both hold together alright not as good as Lego but not awful. I wouldn't recommend to buy one though
@@carellicollectables nothing a little superglue will not fix. Not like you want the knock-off parts mixed in with the regular lego any way. =)
I have the star Wars EP 7 millenium falcon in Lepin.
The printing is not too good, but the bricks are actually the same plastic as a real LEGO.
It is a cool set and isn't overpriced
I am an old woman on a fixed income. I love putting these together and paying $40 vs $120 is great for me! This isn’t the sort of thing I like to build… more into the really colorful ones and just ordered Baby Groot for my bday. Thanks so much for taking a chance on this for us more financially challenged folks!
GREAT !!!!😃😃😃
“You wouldn’t have the head stuck in the helmet on a real lego minifig”
I have an entire collection of clone and stormtrooper helmets that would gladly beg to differ
You sure those were lego?
Paulo Ravena
They have the lego logo so uh yeah
If that happens push the torso forwards then pull of the helmet it will take of the helmet :D
Just press it to a side while pressing it upwards, is not that hard come on
It's the opposite for me, my sith troopers helmets never stay on they always fall off
I think my favourite part of this video is seeing you play with your son
Hes a lucky guy
Lepin seems pretty decent compared to some other knockoffs. I've had a bunch of Sluban sets once and they were so terrible. Building them was more frustrating than actually enjoying. By the time I tried building a set that had THE BASE PLATE missing, well, I decided to cleanse my entire LEGO collection of every knockoff brick and banish them to a box and donated them to my nephew lol
I just bought a gi joe set licensed by hasbro and it litterally falls apart when you touch it hell it fallsapart just sitting there and it takes a hammer to get it together ive banished it to under my shelf
Bro, what universe you live in? Have you even seen NEW sets of sluban?
I was about to change vids, then I saw how much your son loved it. We sometimes forget these are toys for children! No matter how cheap or sketchy they are, they will have a great time playing with them.
Well, yes, you get ripped off by Lepin sometimes, but Lego does it a different way, just by constantly raising the prices.
exactly
What are you on about? Lego is dirt cheap in Switzerland.
@@smbricks3534 exactly.... until they just set up factories in Asia and showed them how to make bricks! haha

it is official lego
Wow so its almost the same as lepin? Thx for the information, mate.

Infinite Bricks did you read brickitect’s pinned comment
lol
Infinite Bricks i agree
Yeah I noticed that too!.
I hate it when people don’t READ THE HUGGING PINNED COMMENT.
Hey. So I wanted to come back to this video, since I saw it some time ago. Due to the prohibitive price of the Town Hall modular on the secondary market, I very warily decided to try to purchase the Lepin version. And I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised. No missing pieces and, once I linked it with the rest of my modular sets, it’s hard to tell the difference. The build is sturdy and fits perfectly. The one noticeable difference is in the mini figs, but that’s minor. At some point, I may purchase one of their original modulars and see how that goes. Just thought I would share. My experience was clearly much better than yours. Cheers.
I can confirm, the full helmet pieces in lego set do sometimes get stuck on the head
*in Chinese*
Dear friend, we have in stock ,now!
All work together through the storm! Refuel!

"You wouldn't have that with a normal Lego minifigure, I don't think..." Lego: *nervous sweating*
The end with your son was so wholesome. Brings me back to lego building with my dad!
3:19 That's bag number g
"he's not junk" - best comment ever! Enjoyed the ending the best! :)
Over the last 6 months I have bought several fake lego sets and I have to say the quality is improving. On some sets the fit of the blocks is not perfect like you mention but the Xingboa sets seem to be better. And fortunately never had missing pieces. Each set so far actually contained a lot of spare blocks.
I can 1000% guarante the delivery lady did not take notice or care about the package
Custom minifigures from China are surprisingly good in quality and detail. The sets are kind of something I can do without. Just focus on the customs.
The stickers may be bad, but your sticker applying skills could use some work too. ;-)
Adorable little guy, by the way.
100th ✨like✨
Depending on the seller, you can actually tell em that it’s missing a piece
Yes, if any pieces got missed, the seller will ship to you free, if you live in China.
not worth the waiting if you are in the US
OMGOODNESS! The Clarkman is adorable!!
Is it just me or does it sound like he says “mini finger “ whenever he tries to say “mini figure”
You're hearing it right. It's a brickitect thing. Click the subscribe button. It will be the best decision of your life.
I just heard brickattacked instead of bricktect in the intro.
I liked it.
Usually if you contact the AliExpress seller and explain to them the issue you had with those 3 pcs being incorrect, they'll refund you or exchange the product no hassle.
to be 100% honest, i think it'd be amazing to see just a raw video of you building the thing and remarking, or not remarking, on what you think, would be relaxing
While I would still pay for legit Lego, it has upset me before. When I bought the Creator green mini cooper it came with half of the parts and that half was multiplied by two. I ordered proper pieces and they came for free, which is nice. However, almost a year had passed and as you might imagine, I wasn't so hyped about the set anymore. On the bright side, I got a couple hundred free Lego pieces that I didn't need to use in the set.
I love how when you go to the online page and browse for the sets, almost all of them are 5 stars...
Your son’s reaction first time seeing it was priceless! My son has the same look everytime I show him a new toy for the very first time.
Show him a Lego™️ set or bring him to your Local Lego Store. If you don't live near one (more than 5 hour drive) then order from Lego directly. Buy a few sets and build them up. Better quality than Lepin and you don't buy fakes like Lepin is.
Buy Lego
Don't buy Lepin
Also, don't buy lego from Wish or AliExpress
"Lego head stuck in helmet"
Me: "that happens to me since im literally a child....and it is remains the same"
At 2:52 he says “minifinger” 🤣
I heard that too
17:07 Nice ballet move :)
7:06 I'm pretty sure the sticky is still there attached to the cutout. You just need to seperate it with your fingernail or an exacto-blade. The die cutter pressed too deeply into the non-sticky part of the sheet so it came off with the decal.
I remember building a Lego JCB years ago and it was missing a single flat yellow 2 piece of of the whole build. Fortunately, I sourced one from another bit of Lego. So Lego is not immune from missing parts, but a lot more reliable than Lepin!
I'd like to see the Lego version of the Hulk buster as a side by side comparison
I Bought the Lepin UCS Star Destroyer a couple years ago. (I don't have friends you see, so I dont have to be embarrassed about having lepin on display)
Only issues were that the magnets were a bit too powerful, and a few of the technic pin connectors were a bit loose. Also the two spherical radar domes on the bridge were a different piece than what lego used, and I had to buy a lego Data sheet sticker cause the lepin one said "Star Plan" instead of "Star Wars".
The vast majority of the bricks, plates, and technic pieces were near indistinguishable from their original Lego counterparts, and the ship looked awesome once built. I've since bought the New UCS Lepin Millennium Falcon, and it is amazing. Also cost like a fifth of the price of the Official one...
How much were both of them?
@@reedster1006About $540 AUD ($372 USD) for the pair of them (including free EMS shipping to Australia which takes less than 2 weeks usually. The price fluctuates a bit depending on seller and whether you get an "original" knock off box with them or not.
I downloaded the "Aliexpress" app, and typed "Lego Star Wars UCS" and heaps of listings popped up. Buying process was smoother than amazon, and lots of sellers have plenty of reviews with actual photos from customers...
@@reedster1006 In Germany the Lepin/MouldKing Version of the Executer Class Dreadnought is about 200 Euros, the Original one is way beyond 1.000 Euros (think even 1.500 or so)
It's lepin oh, so not that impressive
@@rajivmalhotra6227 your point is irrelevant in regards to my comment. I dont have friends coming over, so I care not whether they (or you for that matter) are impressed by my majestic lepin sets...
It held together pretty well - survived the child test - with a few pieces dropping out - Lepin Quality Control at its finest. But hey it's 36 bucks!
where u find it, cuz i wanna get it lol?
The head of Lego figure always gets stuck in a helmet for me :P
No folded manual!?! Lepin is now better than LEGO!
Jk no
Lol
wow lol
what? I don't recall ever getting folded manuals
What I think he means is that many LEGO manuals have a U shaped fold in the middle of them due to the fact that they are packed poorly in the box. It's super frustrating and almost all of my many, many LEGO manuals have this fold.
Yeeaahh
I buy a lot of knock off Lego sets because I'm broke and I live in a country plauged by knock offs and every problem is mentioned in the video except for the Minifigure arms they start really tight And hard to peg in but if you move them really often they start loosening up and really easy to remove
thats uhhh something that real legos also do lol
my only beef with these is that the print sometimes is a little off on minifigs and that you very rarely run into heat-damaged pieces but they are pretty indistinguishable from real sets - I mix and match a lot between different brands and I never really run into big tolerance problems
18:02 I love the realization 😂
I use an X-Acto knife to apply stickers. By keeping a little of the sticker along the edge of the blade, it lets you position (and reposition) the sticker until it's right, then you can press it down and there are no fingerprints.
Watching the little one play with this was totally worth it, "It's great!"
@brickitect: "He's junk" @clarkman: "He's not junk" and "I love this guy". Your kid is awesome.
16:55 - that shade you threw at Jang! Woooo - it's getting cold in here!
$84 dollar difference? Saving that much who gives a crap if the light is cloudy and you don't like that the bricks have a different look on one stud?
Do you know how easily Lepin breaks? Search up destroying lepin on TH-cam.
gold coloured plastic is notorious for shattering, so with an iron man you're just counting the days before it turns to shards. LEGO is pretty good with this but a cheap knockoff has no chance
A stolen car is cheaper by $ 40,000. Are you a thief? Lepin is a law breaking company.
Durzy no they aren’t, Chinese law allows it iirc. You aren’t technically a thief for buying it.
I’d honestly pay more if it were higher quality and I knew it’d last longer
Clarkman sees the good in everything. Despite being a bootleg he still appreciates the lepinbuster. That's adorable.
Unfortunately, Lego did all the work to make this set enjoyable, and lepin rips them off and steals all the credit :c
@@ymirs4400 I don't think anybody thinks Lepin made this set....
To be fair I get most of these issues with lego sets every once in a while, heads stuck in helmets for example. It's rarer perhaps but it's not really super rare to get the wrong part, or missing parts, or parts with the wrong tolerance. I don't have this exact set, and the quality of lego is definitely generally better, as although these problems happen they don't happen as much, but the gap isn't as huge as most people think imo.
So excited to see Super Escort Endgame and Star Plans The Rise Of Skyalker they are going to be awsome movies
Just wait for the Lepin NBA set. Houston Rockets not included.
Actually, I can’t wait for Star Wart the rise of skywalk we. Or was it Star Wnrs?
You forgot joystick lag from lepin dc
Not going to lie, I kind of want a clear head piece for a minifigure.
There is one included in Lego 75886 as part of the trophy. Or you just buy a single one on BrickLink.
In the Lego Avengers Hall of Armors set, there’s I think 3 in it? And it comes with 4 iron man minifigs.
Also 75827 Ghostbusters fire house has a 2 or 3 clear ones and a trans blue one
From this kind of experiences, I always see how much better thought and quality lego is giving (when I am arguing with myself why lego is sometimes really expansive)
STOP HEEELP😂😂😂😂 hahha i love that part
3:35 yes t-pose hulkbuster, t-pose
Wait... did Lepin... beat Lego... the manual isn’t folded
Ucs manuals always have cartboard behind them
Lepin puts double the steps on one page making the manual half Lego size.
yup
Dun! Dun! Dun!
WATCHING THE WATCHERS yeah but by folding the manuel lego is doubling the size that’s already doubled compared to lenin when they fold it
I have wondered about Lepin. Now I know. Thanks!!
You actrually have the minifig chest piece backwards in this video. The Lepin set may call that a Mk.43m, but i'm pretty sure that for LEGO it is actually the alternative Mark 42 that only comes with the Hulkbuster set.
“Dear friend, have in stock now!” That’s when you know it’s gonna be bad 🤣
You cannot diss the all powerful Jang bricks, his all mighty god powers will smite you from existence
wasn't a diss haha
@@iansteelmatheson Felt like a diss in my opinion, 45 minutes long is a fine amount of time

2:53 “mini finger”
Lol
I bought a lepin super star destroyer 3200 piece set and it was awesome quality. I had three pieces that had a flaw. One was easy enough to hide under other bricks. One piece had a bit of excess plastic which I trimmed off with an xacto knife. The third piece had a pretty bad warpage but luckily it was an extra left over. Pretty sure I would have been able to heat up the piece and reform it straighter if I had to. Definitely worth the thousand dollar savings for the build.

*FBI* : FBI OPEN UP!
if i'm completely honnest, I've been building legos for the last 15 years, mostly lego star wars, 2 years ago i got my first Lepin Set which was the millenium falcon from TFA (75105), yes the pieces do not fit as well as the lego ones do, but dude I paid 35 euros for a set worth 169 ! honnestly for the price I was more than convinced, it's the price I paid for the official Lego Yoda Huth (75208) ! So don't take my words wrong i'm still prefering real Legos and I only have 2 Lepin sets as now, but considering how lego prices (especially star wars sets) are becomming absurdly expensive if you compare to 10 years ago, i'm definitely having other Lepin sets.
15 years, and still says LEGOS
Congrats on 17th+ years
Watching it slowly crumble was really entertaining
I would never get lepin for myself, but if I got a small kid? sure. most of the elaborate sets loose pieces when it's playtime, It's a crazy hunt for loose pieces after I have boys over and they use my own lego sets...
but for me, I need the lego near perfection as I put them on display XD
Meanwhile LEPIN’s factory is raided by the Chinese police

Something similar happened to me last year with a Lego set, star destroyer. I was missing a few pieces lucky I could find replacements on my bin of Legos lol, otherwise it would have sucked.
Thank you for this video. I was looking at perhaps buying some Lepin sets from the Marstoy site. I'm having second thoughts about doing so.
I bought a lepin technic set and it totally made me respect the quality of original LEGO sets. I’m kinda glad I did buy one because it helps to also make me feel better about spending such large amounts of $ on real LEGO
