I hate when KZbinrs like this buy these knock off figures misrepresents prices quality and danger then they proceed to absolutely slam them and then they act like Lego is the absolute perfect model of the universe and has never done anything wrong and it's existence.

[@enzolucia9768]

I’ve bought dozens of figures and entire sets off Ali express and other places and they’re absolutely phenomenal. Bought a UCS style T6 (ahsokas ship) and UCS style stinger mantis. Also bought an entire republic and separatist “midi” fleet of ships matching the invisible hand. Bought tons of clones and droids and weapons etc. all amazing quality and the sellers are super kind and nice. These videos piss me off because all it does is allow Lego to continue to screw everyone over with horrendously high pricing. I get the whole capitalism thing but Lego doesn’t own the plastic toy market and it’s about time these “knock offs” get more traction and maybe Lego will learn to 1. Put more effort into their clearly lacking recent designs, and 2. Make them affordable for children again. Smfh

Guess he doesn’t like poor people

[@totallyaddicted2bricks989]

As LEGO are too lazy and dumb to offer their customers what they want, i really don't see the problem with these. Yes the quality may be lacking, but they at least exist for those people that want them. Also LEGO should be better quality, you are paying a lot more money for what is supposed to be a premium product, and if we are honest here, LEGO's quality is getting worse all the time, scratched parts, constant errors in instructions, poor minifigure printing etc.

[@hoarder66]

I agree. People keep giving Lego a pass. It's just like when people try to explain away the price for some Lego StarWars sets by saying "well there is a new mold" like every other plastic toy company don't have to make molds for toys(that they can't re-use across multiple themes like Lego can) and that is somehow supposed to be ok. For the price we pay we should get quality

[@totallyaddicted2bricks989]

@@hoarder66 exactly what I am talking about, people are too quick to jump to LEGO's deference, and like you say giving them a pass. And with Star Wars, well they've just got greedy and are too complacent and lazy to make those sets as good as they should be, for the money they charge. Sadly for this reason I have sold many of my Star Wars sets, and stopped buying that theme.

[@hoarder66]

@@totallyaddicted2bricks989 sorry to hear that. It's sad that Lego is pushing away their fans.

[@trentoncornett7170]

I would call these figures knock offs because what separates them from a brand like clone army customs? You may not like it but the existence of these custom figures creates supply to meet the demand. If Lego isn’t going to create characters and when they do they cheap out on the mold or the print, then we need company’s that create custom figures to hold Lego accountable. I think this is good for the Lego community in the end it could put some pressure on Lego to make better figures at cheaper rates!

[@joseangel1686]

Also they sell pauldrons and kamas that could help oficial minifigures like the snow troopers of the battle pack or the new 501 officer and heavys

Knock off clones are a mixed bag, but they’re still better than spending a hundred dollars for 10 generic clones. When I could pay the same for 100 of these. Plus the ones that I’ve seen come with both a DC15A and a DC15S blasters for each mini fig, not these weird drills. But I will say you should absolutely use knock offs when building your droid army. You can get 40-50 droids (mixed super and regular including standard blasters) for around 40 dollars. All this being said make sure you check the reviews and not do a big purchase at first. Test it out and see with like a 10 dollar purchase. These “knockoffs” have come a long way, and I’d be glad if they can get as good as the real deal in the next few years.

[@Trojan073]

The argument of intellectual property doesn’t work because all of the customs sites don’t have rights to the products. While the workers making them likely don’t really have good working conditions, but the people at CAC don’t have the rights either. It’s illegal for both of them. On the topic of paint I’m pretty sure there’s a video on it saying they’re safe. I completely understand the concerns though :).

Personally I really like custom figures. Specific ones are on a completely new level than Lego ways in certain ways with details and especially custom molds and custom weapons. For instants the custom republic commandos. Custom figures are way more affordable and it allows you to get stuff that Lego would never make. I also love genuine Legos but if you’re trying to build a specific type of collection then there’s no other choice

[@nateshupp8337]

I don't really care about the intellectual property because lego, Disney, and Lucasfilm are worth billions of dollars but a big issue is quality, whether it be the printing or plastic quality and like you said....chemicals. some are worth it. Some aren't. I have a few fakes and replaced the heads and the helmets with CAC ones and the plastic is ok. I'm looking to replace them in the future.

[@Yung_Slush]

The clone commando pack, that are obviously knock offs, from Amazon are actually all really good! They all look real and not derpy, they just are not real legos. The pieces all fit together easy, the faces/gear/prints look really good, and the guns are legit from the shows/games

[@wolfee4422]

Wah wah these are illegal!! As if CAC and the others customs are anymore legal, they are not. Also, the quality is more than comparable to Lego or third party customs, and a ridiculous price, this is a far better option for people that love clones and Lego and don't want to get ripped of by overpriced minifigs from CAC or Lego themselves.

[@bricksiege6542]

Well put I totally agree

[@daanbosman2313]

its not illigal... lego doesnt have the patent anymore. as long as the clones are not 100% remake. and since the bodys have more printing and diffrent then legos they are in the clear

[@xSoulhunterDKx]

Which is factually wrong. Lego doesn’t have the patent anymore, but the figs are protected as a trademark. Only recently a European Court actually stated that minifigs from different brands can share the same similar features (like holes on the backside of the legs etc.), however the figs from Lego are still protected. So any custom (cac and so on or knockoffs) are all still illegal under those points. Yes, it doesn’t matter that cac or others use Lego pieces to do their customs. Since they are creating a new product they violate Legos trademark. The German store Modbrix also lost a case last year, if I remember it correctly against Lego, cause they sold custom figs (ww2 figs made with Lego parts). Also: Lego still owns a lot of designs so yeah. The classic 1x5 plate is a case where Lego copied cobi and tried to get it as a design for themselves. Luckily the other brands are fighting this (cause it’s bullshit in a lot of cases)

[@collectorempire_km]

To avoid $25-$40 a figure, I just replace the helmets and cloth with CAC/Cape Cantina and give accessories from CAC if needed. That way I can have a good looking custom for about $5-7. The way I see it, if you’re just displaying them/taking pics of them then what’s the point of getting them at 25-$40 or more? I have some true CAC customs, but I can’t justify getting 40 or so CAC customs to have an army.

I do the same thing and it makes the clone trooper much more better and it much cheaper than regular lego minifigures
