Hi...by looking at 2nd hand price of Cafe Corner & UCS Star Destroyer, in the end i really need to give up lego and go for Lepin. But there are few dilemma need guidelines from sifus here. I assume everyone got their Lepin from taobao, as everyone noted cafe corner do have some missing part, do you all inform the seller and they will send directly from China to Msia?

I bought them locally from a reseller here..
Don't mind the missing parts thou.. easy replaceable..
Just the risk of buying KO..
Still have plenty of bricks to replace them..

haha goes figures. can't blame them on this.
for that pricing hard to cover the motor and battery cost.
but if they really do manufactured that, then can consider they are venturing into Technics next.

demnit...

I finished the Lepin Green Grocer on the weekend and I was very happy. It's a beautiful build and possible my favourite of all of the Modulars.

I had three missing pieces, the most significant of which was a 2 x 6 plate in dark grey. But, it was only for securing the underside of the plates which make up the floor of the third level, so I was able to work around it. The other missing pieces, I was able to substitute from my very small stash of extra pieces from Lego sets.

I'll be ordering Lepin Market Street soon and then I'll have a complete Lepin / Lego Modular collection - something that I never thought was ever going to be possible! Thank Lepin for their Café Corner, Green Grocer and Market Street!

Today is the Merdeka day holiday so I decided to bring out ALL my modulars and line them all on my dining table. This year is especially crowded since I bought 3 Lepin modular buildings to add to my collection and a few MOC made with original Lego bricks.

All 3 Lepin buildings blended seamlessly with their original Lego counterparts. In fact if I hadn't mention that there is a few Lepin buildings in the photo you wouldn't even know that there is a Lepin building there. I'll leave you guys to guess which are the 3 Lepin buildings.  whistling.gif

Quality wise, the Lepin buildings were outstanding and almost equal to that of the original Lego. First 2 buildings I built had no missing pieces but the 3rd which I bought had a missing piece and a deformed leg piece. The funniest thing was, all 3 cost less than an original Brick Bank.  tongue.gif 

I may need a bigger table next year  doh.gif

I did read some comments, but impossible for me to finished off all the comment in short time ba. i am not clear about the modular series, that is why i ask and hope might get some opinion here. But from your reply, seems like everyone have to read finished all the comments before asking?
*
Chill chill...
The cheapest modular sets not is about RM150..
and it goes all the wap up to RM400 for the gb hq..

As far as bricking experience, it is good enuff to buy..
If a bit particular about colouration, they are slightly differ..
But for missing parts, can't say much.. What to expect buying a product from China which prices is 1/3 to 1/4 from the original brand..

Hence, to start buying KO... it is all about luck and buy with confidence..

Thanks for your info, i read some review and think that i will probably start with the detective office because its interior is nice too...i am not expecting perfect condition for a clone set, but i hope the missing pieces won't be the important parts. What is the reasonable price for one detective office set? i saw the price from 190 - 230, quite big different.

its about there.. depends on seller..

Usually you guys direct buy from overseas? or buy from local seller? I ordered one detective office with local seller, COD with him later

mine is local.. my supplier imports them in bulk, so it would be cheaper..

Lepin did it. They actually managed to clone the UCS falcon  shocking.gif

In China forum someone already started opening his set and preparing to build his Falcon already http://tieba.baidu.com/p/4792579100

On another FB page they mentioned that the falcon has already began shipping.  rclxub.gif

Now if only Lepin will clone those classic Town sets like the Airport Shuttle, harbor sets, space shuttle etc.

Yup.. they have clone the UCS MF and some has reached ours shores..
Mine is arriving some time early october..

I wanna buy the lepin UCS millennium falcon from taobao but worried that its too big.

Anyone got shipping problem when buying from taobao due to size?

I bought smaller sets before using the taobao 'direct shipping' option with no problem.

Its gonna be like 8kg++..
How much actually in taobao?
