Lego could make so many clones, and enable army building for many different famous legions. Lego could open an army building pick-a-clone store. Lego could even just rerelease past battle packs. But they don't, so my money goes to its competitors. It's that easy.
The fact that official MF are WAY too expensive is the problem. 3rd party creators and companies like Koruit and Xinh will continue to make money and offer better alternatives to Lego. The customs are superior and the alternate companies make army building so much easier and offer many more variations. When it comes to other themes it is even more clear how deficient Lego is. Anyone who holds on to the mothership as some kind greater validation is welcome to waste their money. Lego is lazy and will never make what most AFOL's want.
See there’s a difference between fake and custom. If you’re buying it intentionally and it has high quality, then it’s most likely custom. (Etsy has a lot of pretty decent custom legos, or remakes of retired minifigs that still have decent quality) it’s fake when you’re bamboozled into buying something with much lower quality, like Lepin and other such ripoffs
Bought some fake 332nd at my last convention. Then bought the 332nd battle pack the other day...had to swap the helmets cause the printing on the real ones (main body) sucked compared to the fakes
You probably have been told a million times already, but the waistcape is attached incorrectly. The side lashes have to be attached from the front, resulting in a much tighter fit. It's a bit fiddly, but once you get the hang of it it works really well.
I really love your taste and style always so chic. My faves would be the kislux leather backpack and the Swarovski pave diamond ring so gorg. Thank you for your recommendations.
its very hit and miss, however i have found an amazing seller who do flawless fakes with the 360 printing, so much so that i have replaced a lot of my offical figs with these fakes for my displays and then i keep the real figures sealed and protected, i have also noticed a lot of fakes these days have higher quality printing when it comes to R2D2, Legos is always a mess or tilted etc but some how the knock offs can do it better
IMO Some fake legos are really bad but some could be really good. Clones and some other alien figures are really good but sometimes they can be really bad.
For building custom figures and droid armies these figures from other brick companies are very useful. I even found a very gorgeous android figure on Kopftoy. The android could visually belong to the UFO (97) aliens and a nice metallic blaster with trans green bullets was included. It cost 80 cent per figure and i bought a bunch of them there. I now use them as battle droids for the UFO (97) theme. 😍🥇
Did she just call the shadow arf trooper mid! That is treason against BrickLi and all his supporters in the clone army. Great video and keep up the great work.
I find it absolutely hilarious that fans think the saber hilt part only goes one way. As you know Dani I’ve worked for both LEGO & Star Wars professionally as a creative. I can assure you that the saber hilt was designed to be used both ways. I was there when the first SW set was created for NYC toy fair and Vader was purposely designed with the hilt the “opposite” way. Ask any pro creative from LEGO they all will & have stated it’s meant to be used both ways so kids can choose what side looks best for each character. Sorry it’s just a pet peeve of mine cause the fans are completely wrong with that theory. 😆. Awesome video. Hope you’re well. In the instructions the graphic designers pull the art from a library & mostly just grab in the one way. It’s just laziness…I was guilty of that as well 😆. Some sets have it the other way.
@@Gesundheit2000 It obviously has meaning when there are thousands of people out there that think the saber hilt part only goes one way 😆. It’s my job to understand that stuff & make products idiot proof but somehow trolls are still stubborn / ignorant. Just dropping some pro design facts.
Cool video. Love the sound effects!! I bought 2 fake lego mini figures by accident. Didn’t know until I got home and took the heads off and saw the word lego was missing. Woody & Emperor’s royal guard. The cost was a couple of bucks.
If you're wondering why that's super Battle Droid looks like that it's because in Star wars battlefront 2 there is a class where the B2 battle droid has that paint job and one of the abilities is a rocket arm
A good fake minifig makes me pretty happy, I have a few custom DragonBall mini figures and a ton of fake clones that while the print is a tad different they are just a pretty standard clone troopers. I feel like if you're just looking for filler on big mocs you're making, or just want a specific figure that's hard to find, if you find a good fake then you'll be pretty happy
Bro, I easily guessed them correctly 😂 they're all atrocious. Young ahsokas back is a different color than the rest of her skin, adult her is too dark, Max's eyes are too big, and the printing for thrawns eyes go down too far.
I've succumbed to buying Fake LEGO figures and I haven't looked back. I know my ass ain't spending 50 on a Scariff Shore Trooper and LEGO aint making a Galactic Marine, so why not?
For a long time, as the price of Chanel increased, I no longer thought I could afford it. I think I'll be happy that I have the kislux as my travel bag that I don't have to take care of. By the way, I'm sure no one will have a hard time telling the difference. Thanks for the comparison.
These are relatively useful for cinematics/stop-motions, mocs, etc given they are not real lego which means you can damage them in as many ways as you would like and can be reused for other cinematics/stop-motions.
Personally I don’t care if people want to waste their money on fake mini figs. But when you get get tired of them don’t try and pass them off as the real thing. This exact scenario happened to me just a few weeks ago.
That's the spirit! I'm not too into lego "fakes", but coming from other hobbies where "proxies" are common, personally I love them. While there'a an inherent risk, many are higher quality than the real thing, and they let you get to parts of the lore the real company won't touch, plus they're often cheaper. But the second you try pawning them off as the real thing? That's fraud. That's literally illegal. So just don't do that.
Im sorry you had a bad experience with fake minifigs! I was wondering, how is getting some fakes wasting your money? Like, I understand they won't skyrocket in value, but buying a fake fig you want that looks perfectly fine for just 1$? That sounds amazing to me
First, fake minfigs are fake. Period. But I did also buy quite some myself. But mosty minfigs of characters Lego doesn't or didn't officially make. I started with the Moon Knight figure early last year, and even though Lego now released one, I must say, I prefer the fake. Love the details on that. And there are espeially a lot of Clone Troopers you'd just get as fake, sadly.
i got all 4 i think because i could see the quality and quantity of the printing and immediately new the fake tuscan raider because of the back of leg prints
I actually have 2 figures similar to that fake 501st clone with the plastic waist cape. I believe mine are supposed to be echo and Jesse (I know one is echo bc it has Rex’s hand print on the torso but Jesse is just a guess based on the logo on the helmet) I don’t like the plastic pauldron or waist cape but they still look pretty cool in my opinion. Just happy to have some names 501sf members
Somehow I have Thrawn’s head in my collection… I definitely never owned the set. I don’t have his hair or torso. A bit of an interesting mystery to me. I buy lots of second hand Lego so that’s prob how it happened
Im not in the hobby of collecting fake figs but im gonna get a fake Agen Kolar for the hair piece since u can buy the rest of him for under $10 and the official hair piece is $85+
I know many people don’t like fake figures, but I think they are actually really good because it really depends on the brand of fake figures, some are good and some not great, nice vid tho!
If you think you are getting a real minifig and get a fake one instead I can understand why you will hate them
@@pvtrrykye. I still like them for certain things. Like a B1 army that I can destroy and be like, "well, I got 100 for the for $20"

Sometimes, unofficial Legos are actually better, I have an unofficial Jango Fett and it's awesome (and just for 2$)
Sometimes I buy fake Lego because I kinda have to (sometimes they look really good)
I first bought a fake fig when I saw a K2SO fig pack of 4 at 6€, great deal because it’s almost a 1:1 copy
Lego Warhammer when
Same I building a moc and need female death watch figures but I all ready have 480 normal boys

That Tusken raider was my absolute favorite🤩 As a huge fan of the sand people, that would be an incredible figure to own
Love your videos
where did you get those scout troopers? i would really like to get some as i really like them!!
In my opinion buy real lego is getting close to extorsion these days😢

big fan!! love the vid
7:27 :D coz you are so young, you dont remember that waist capes were a plastic piece in 2008-2011 (8014 battlepack as an exaple)
never saw a plastic waist cape...

Droids and unique characters are the only reason to get fake legos, in my opinion.

Weren't the waist capes in lego star wars 3 plastic?
well... fake figs can replenish our collection, but it will never be the main character in it

ive got heaps of clones with official lego plastic waist coats
yea me too, she doesn't know what she is talking about...
WM Bricks have the best quality for knock offs, and their design is very good. Their Vader helmet is top notch
I've bought some and gave the fake and real one to the wife and she couldn't tell the difference. Some are not as good, but a lot of them are spot on.
That rebels Ahsoka looks more like a custom minifigure then a fake one
These are relatively useful for cinematics/stop-motions, mocs, etc given they are not real lego which means you can damage them in as many ways as you would like and can be reused for other cinematics/stop-motions.
or if someone has the real and fake, they could use the fake as a stunt double for stop motions, rather than only using the fake
i hate fake figures
Have fun waiting in perpetuity for someone to buy your sealed polybag 🤣
good for you, no one asked
That galactic marine looks kinda gas
7:16 Aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper?
I got the grand admiral thrawn with phantom for free (bday gift) and seeing its price now I’m happy
I like how some fake Lego actually makes minifigures are they never made like galactic Marines
Danny, I got them all right because I have these minifigures 😂
I always put my lightsabers together THAT way! ;)
I've purchased some fake Star Wars figures off of Temu, and some fake Power Rangers minifigures. I don't mind fakes, honestly.
