    Last time, I bought a fake one from AliExpress for $45.
    Overall, 2 bricks were damaged, 1 part was missing, and about half of the stickers were printed incorrectly. Still, I’m quite happy with it, considering I only paid a quarter of the original price.

      It's funny how all of the "cHiNeSe bRiCks aRe 100% iDeNt1cAL tO LeGoOoO!!!1!" bots fail to mention any of that along with all of the other commonly-reported issues with Lepin, Decool, Mould King, et al.

      • The other thing they fail to mention is that you used to be able to resell and recover outlay (and then some) on big complete Lego sets with manuals, etc. There's a dip in the market so not guaranteed at the moment for recent sets.

        With the knockoffs, if you overpay, you're dead. Got to resell for very low to get any bits, from what I've seen on Marketplace.

        • If buying this for $185, less discounted gift cards for $165-170… Even if build it now and resell the next day, still can get $120-150.

          I used to be 100% of the opinion that anything but genuine Lego was not even worth considering. But since the prices of Lego sets just keep getting higher, while the resale values seem to be going down (although that might be related more to the general cost of living -crisis), I was lured to test the idea. I got the Aliexpress knock-off version of just this particular set for about $20-25 dollars delivered. And I have to admit I was positively suprised. Good paper manual, numbered bags, good stickers with the correct brands and so far no missing pieces (I've only built it about two thirds of the way). I've had a couple of pins that needed a bit more force to push all the way in and one that was too loose, so not perfect. But if for about 10% of the price I feel like I got about 90% of the quality, I think that I might consider knock-offs in the future too, unfortunately. Also when the purchase price is so low to begin with, I don't have to worry about resale either.
