[@marianatrenchproductions]

I'm not sure if this has been suggested or is possible, but could you please compare the Lego Land Rover Defender 42110 to its Aliexpress counterpart? The Lego version is discontinued but I think you can still get it in some places. Great job here though!!

[@Mr.Bricksteen]

@ I might if I have chance to get original at good price. Thanks

[@marianatrenchproductions]

@@Mr.Bricksteen Yes thank you. No worries, I know these things are pricey.

[@Mr.Bricksteen]

@ unfortunately Lego doesn’t send me their sets😄. All paid from my pocket.

[@marianatrenchproductions]

@@Mr.Bricksteen Yes I understand! Hopefully you can monetise from your videos here though!

[@stephenjohnson5353]

A. I've been living in a box since I didn't know there was a knock off version... it really helps sell the quality of the genuine product! B. I won't be buying a knock-off, but I will check your channel again because you show the details so well.

[@marktackman2886]

Keep doing these videos please. The comparison's provide SO MUCH VALUE. Especially when the knockoffs functionality is less then the original. You help us make good buying decisions

[@Mr.Bricksteen]

@@marktackman2886 thank you. I appreciate that. Please feel free to share the video. 👍👊🙂

[@helenunderdown2158]

I love that Freddy made a cameo! ♥️ Another great video! 👏🏼

[@Mr.Bricksteen]

@@helenunderdown2158 Fred is a star 😄

[@rohitd23]

Thanks for your review. Just cancelled an order based on ur review. Seems like their quality isn't up to scratch for complex parts like differentials or gearboxes. Not work the bad experience Might get a Ford F150 or simpler models

[@Mr.Bricksteen]

@@rohitd23 I just finished Ferrari Daytona and is quite good. All moving parts work.

[@MicahPotts]

These knock-off problems are pretty rare. Lego created a brand new angle piece and it's clear the knock-off company hasn't copied it yet, but usually the differences are negligible and the knock-off is well worth the price. Good video!

[@Mr.Bricksteen]

@@MicahPotts thanks. It looks like the newer set the more problems that might disappear over time.

[@M1longer]

By buying those you support thieves.

[@arghjayem]

I agree the price is high on the official set, but that’s to be expected with LEGO these days especially any set with an IP attached! BUT you can get it cheaper. Argos have it for only £165 currently but they are also doing a 12 days of Christmas deal where each day you get the chance to win a discount (ranging from free downloads to £5/£10/£20 discounts!). I managed to win 3 times and got one of each, fortunately the discount codes are stackable at checkout and so bought the set for only £130 including delivery! 😂

[@Mr.Bricksteen]

@@arghjayem The whole idea is to get a good deal on Lego if you want an original. Shop around instead of buying it in official Lego store and website.

[@Edaurd]

lets see the ferrari sp3 from aliexpress next, i would love to see a comparison, i have the one from aliexpress converted to a F40 and its every bit as expected, but i don't know how it compares to the real one

[@Mr.Bricksteen]

Actually I’m about to make Ultimate Ferrari Comparison. Ferrari technic sets various brands with different price ranges in one video. It will be interesting to see.

[@Edaurd]

@Mr.Bricksteen hell yeah brother

[@trenbolognasandwich6021]

AliExpress great for retired Lego. I have the Upside Down, Town Hall, Diner and few more. They are exact 1 for 1 copies. Can't beat the price.

[@Mr.Bricksteen]

@@trenbolognasandwich6021 yeah. It’s hard to find Lego retired sets for good price 😄.

[@sallowgame8]

I think Lego is for practicality and knockoff is for decoration

[@Mr.Bricksteen]

@@sallowgame8 I would agree if copy looks good. Doors in this example annoys me too much 😄

[@destoyer_of_donuts]

Only issue I've ever had with KO Lego is the odd missing piece and parts being not quite precise as Lego bricks, but your paying 5 times less so you can't really complain

[@Mr.Bricksteen]

@@destoyer_of_donuts yeah. Not all knockoffs are bad quality (Take look at Peugeot 9x8) but this Mercedes is no good 😄

[@KarolosPregkler]

@@Mr.Bricksteen Hi there. Thank for this video. So the overall experience for this KO was a no-go? I am thinking to buy one for my kid. Would you suggest another one?

[@Mr.Bricksteen]

@ this knockoff won’t deliver a good building experience for kid. Maybe look around for good lego deals if you still want this set.

[@OmarGhani-iv3tc]

Please do the Technic Mercedes-Benz Arocs 3245 truck. Would rly appreciate it.

[@BozenaSzczypinskaBo]

Such a cool model! Love the suspension ❤ great video.... Again! 👍😊 I can hear that on each next video you sound more confident! Keep it up! 💪

[@Mr.Bricksteen]

@@BozenaSzczypinskaBo thank U

[@kaydog890]

This is the first knock off in your videos that doesn't look worth it. The rest seemed decent looking, but this copy, even from a far, looks horrid with the door line parts.

[@Mr.Bricksteen]

@@kaydog890 Buying these copies feels like playing the lottery! I enjoy comparing them, but I try to keep it balanced-I don’t want to come across as someone who only promotes fake LEGO by showing off the good ones. Gotta keep it real 😄

[@software_training-ck9ng]

So which one is the best chinese copy you have ever seen out of all these?

[@Mr.Bricksteen]

@@software_training-ck9ng PEUGEOT 9X8 24H Le Mans Hybrid Hypercar knockoff was the best so far. I’ll build fake Ferrari Daytona next week 😄

[@MartinzW]

I think he mentions Peugeot quite often

[@Mr.Bricksteen]

@ yes, 9x8 was the best copy I’ve built so far. I’m building daytona now and it looks promising.

[@MarioGonzalez-fr3bk]

can you share the link?

[@Mr.Bricksteen]

@@MarioGonzalez-fr3bk unfortunately I don’t promote the seller I purchased it from. Just search for 42177 on Ali. There is plenty to choose from. Maybe even you’ll find a better one.I hope it helps.

[@josuesagastume2421]

I think that for those of us who only want the experience of building these sets and never touch them again, the Chinese version is super good and for the prices, it's better not to even talk about it. If you have been building these sets for a while, it will probably take you a few hours to build a set like this. Imagine, with what you pay for this set, you can build 5 sets.

[@Mr.Bricksteen]

@@josuesagastume2421 speaking from experience Lego sets take less time to build and experience is better every time however it comes at higher price.

[@aslee3312]

Great videos.. i have the knock off McLaren and Mercedes F1 cars, and currently half way through building the P1. Also have the Ferrari Daytona waiting. These fakes are decent enough for the price.

[@tudorvasilescu]

My daytona works good😊

[@Mr.Bricksteen]

@@tudorvasilescu I’m about to build Ferrari next week 😄

[@brawlstars5056]

Plz do Lego police station 60141

[@Mr.Bricksteen]

@@brawlstars5056 looks like fake one doesn’t have minifigures included😄

[@dark_white_bricks]

To everyone that praise chinese knockoff… don’t forget that exact clones of lego set are counterfeit products, they just steal the design from lego!

[@鱼长林]

In China,copy cost ¥@150.Because not every one can have enough money to buy LEGO,they just wanna have fun on build!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@lilgrey]

150 JPY only? that's crazy! so, they make profit of 7338 JPY per sold g-wagon copy... they make profit of 5000% on these things! that's truly insane.

[@TrinhNguyen-tw7oj]

@@lilgreyhe meant renminbi (chinese currency)

[@mathias3198]

Thank you ! I purchase the 911 rsr for 15$ and it's very good

[@Mr.Bricksteen]

@@mathias3198 not every knockoff is bad quality like this one. Let me know what 911 will be. Thanks.

[@mathias3198]

The 911 RSR white red and black

[@bo_stylista1066]

nice!!! 😁

[@MICHAELBURKE-u1d]

The copy Lego sets are great, better value for money and they are superb quality.

[@umtpz]

Too many problems if you interact with it. Also building experience is worse and no resell value

[@Mr.Bricksteen]

@@umtpz I agree, however comparison was interesting 😄
