yup the bricks are everywhere and also economy slow down actually helped them where the parents will go for this instead of lego
but as an advise it is best to wash those bricks first before letting your children play with it as the bricks are sometimes dirty... |

i'm planning to get it but not sure which one to get as my personal experience with Lepin - too many missing pieces; while Lele - brick quality and colors are below expectations. thanks. |

I'm of the opinion that every company should look at end to end supply chain so as not to impact their reputation.
As such, Lepin QC should beef up their effort on missing bricks. Is it accurate to say that Lepin are fundamentally more at risk of missing bricks or is this something that cuts across all 'compatilble' brick manufacturers to include LeLe, etc? |

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. |
