Getting close to the 20% off that you normally see on the bonsai. It's a great set for display! I wasn't too thrilled about the loose "bark" though.

I posted this in the thread yesterday on the succulents, but I'll say it again here - These are readily available as Chinese knockoffs (bootlego) on AliExpress, and the quality is basically indistinguishable from LEGO.

I picked this one and another one up a few months ago for $20 each.

For those who say the quality is way worse than LEGO - maybe a decade ago, but nowadays quality is great for most of the knockoffs. It helps to be a bit plugged in so you know what brands are good and which are bad, but I've never gotten something so bad it wasn't worth the savings.

I mean, LEGO is made all over the world now - https://www.lego.com/en-us/aboutu...n-vietnam/

is it really so hard to believe that knockoff brands in China can't buy and maintain the same injection molding equipment with the same tolerances as LEGO? Especially when the technology obviously exists in-country?
Thanks for saving me the money and opening me up to this world of blocks and the lepin sub. I was considering a few lego sets, but the replicas make the price a lot more digestible.
Definitely the way to go, and I can recall now a friend who has the bouqet from aliexpress who said she originally was going to get the lego but went this route.

I've stopped buying LEGO years ago due to their high prices and fragility. If you accidentally drop it, it breaks like glass. WTF?!

LEGO products usually hold their value after the sets are retired, even when open. Meaning, in most cases, you can sell it and almost break even.

Knockoff LEGO has 0 resell value....as a complete set or as bulk bricks. Just FYI.

I bough this LEGO Orchid set for $45 last month, but Amazon shipped me a crushed LEGO box. This is my mom's birthday gift, so I will return and buy it again at $42. The big shipping box outside was not damaged, and 2 other boxes inside were not damaged. This means the LEGO box was crushed in the warehouse, but Amazon chose to ship it anyway. Mad

I hope Amazon reads SD. Your shipping QC has deteriorated drastically. I received 2x more damaged books and items in the last 2 years. Returns waste customer time and Amazon money. Please slow down and ship it right the first time. Fellow SDers please chime in if you agree with me. Thank you. Peace

Wave So let me get this straight.. you guys just buy these super ridiculously overpriced "Official Lego" sets to build them.. put them in your house on display (assumption right?.. WTF else right homie?), then decide to bust them up and resell them years later?

I gotta ask.. what the hell is the point of that? Serious and truly legitimate question of course.. and definitely something people wondering why official lego sets can cost into the multi-hundreds of USD$.

*Can you explain this? I'm not "hating".. i'm seriously concerned about LEGO prices (coming from someone that does not buy or ever will buy LEGO sets) Peace

What's the point of buying a car, using it, then reselling it years later?

I'd probably get more for a Nissan than a Chinese knockoff Nis-an

It's not that they can't make the same mold, with knock offs it's always been bad qc. (If you think Lego is bad already)

Lego customer service is also pretty good with a phone call, where as aliexpress replacements....

Also with Lego getting a stronger foothold in China, KO futures are muddy at best.


As another guy, saving 50% on sets, and waiting weeks if not months to get something with no box, just to not have some value on your purchases just doesn't make sense for most people

Since it's sold by Amazon too if you qualify for the Discovery discount it can apply here for additional savings.

I'll try to legitimately answer your question from my meager perspective.

LEGO has a following, much like Apple has a following of committed customers, loyalists, etc. There is also an inherit nostalgia and fondness for LEGO, and as adults now flush with money, they're able to buy the sets they wanted as kids but could never afford.

But LEGO also works on scarcity. Sets are usually only released for a 2 year period, then never available again (through LEGO). There are themes that are discontinued that cross over into other collectible areas (Scooby Doo, Overwatch), or themes based on movies (Star Wars). This scarcity means if you want it, you're going to pay for it on the secondary market, and since a lot of people want it and supplies are more limited, you're going to pay more.

Why does LEGO cost so much? One reason is they actually pay to license their themes (Star Wars), vs other brands that don't.

Why is this set so expensive? I don't know the underworkings of LEGO, but you also have to pay for art and design.... someone worked on this model and fine tuned it. New molds and new parts creation. Again, a knockoff brand can just copy the set themselves and bypass these costs.

Knowing that LEGO has a following and holds its value, it means that if you're ever done with a set (or have pieces you want to get rid of), there is an eager secondary market that will buy them from you. Even loose pieces have value because people like to make their own creations (MOC), and buy specific pieces like you would buy individual parts for a car.
Knockoff LEGO are basically herpes; nobody wants them (at least to rebuy), and they "contaminate" a lot of loose LEGO pieces.

TLDR; LEGO fans are loyalists, has built in scarcity, and invests in product design and development. People seek out LEGO... not knockoffs.
