Hm, are they? I haven't actually tried recent Chinese knockoffs specifically, but historically, "almost as good as Lego" is pretty disappointing. That last mile (last micrometer?) has always set Lego apart.
- mcphage 7y agoIn my experience, yes. I’ve purchased a few sets and have been pleased.
- zakki 7y agoCare to name the brand?
- mcphage 7y agoI have purchased Lepin. I think they're not selling under that brand anymore, I think they sell as King / Queen / Jack? Also for technic sets, I have heard that Decool is even better than Lepin, although they don't seem to have the largest technic sets. You can get them off of AliExpress, or via private sellers at r/lepin.
- RugnirViking 7y agoMaybe I'm out of touch with current lego prices, but the prices on the Lepin webstore look very high for what I expected. $70 for a small house? Isn't that about the same as lego?
- mcphage 7y agoLepin doesn't have a webstore. There are a lot of webstores that claim that they're Lepin, but afaik they're all 3rd party resellers.
