​@@zergling05 Nah man The lego eiffel tower is 1,5m tall and has 10 001 pieces with a price of around 600$ Thisbset has half as many bricks and you dont buy from lego but every brick from a sellery which makes it likely even cheaper. We are looking at tau manta level size here and thats what, 1.5k? 2k? Then remember this lego model is not hollow inside.

[@zergling05]

@@drawbyyourselve I wouldn't use the price of a Lego set here...but Lego as well as GW are extremely expensive and with Lego it becomes very clear when you see what other manufacturers charge for prices

@@zergling05 yes, lego has been getting more and more expensive, as is warhammer, but this was the best example based on Brick Count that I could give. Add to that, that buying the bricks from bricklink or any other seller would be cheaper than Lego themselves, as this isnt an official set.

As someone who has done some of these scale of builds with genuine Lego, yes it will alleviate the clutching issues -Lego moulding quality control is top notch. No, it won't quite alleviate the color variation unless all your bricks are the same vintage - Lego isn't as light-fast as you might hope. Older white bricks will yellow, blue and red will fade, yellow will grey slightly, and brown... well every adult Lego fan has horror stories about dismantling a build they had sitting around for over a year that involved brown plates. ABS+UV+whatever formula Lego used for reddish brown pre 2018 results in the plastic shattering when you separate the elements.

[@RisingApe]

Cheers for that, sad to hear that LEGO isn’t as lightfast but thanks for the comment

[@Eserchie]

@@RisingApe Lego isn't terrible for lightfastness, certainly not worse than knockoffs, and better than some of them, and they do put effort into improving, but UV and ABS just don't mix very well.

[@vedranlucev1837]

I'm glad you found a design that works and that the end result looks so good. The most common problem with sets like this one is that they were never actually built and tested out in real life before the set was manufactured, they just found a design on Rebrickable, got the parts list, bagged it and sold it. And a large number of MOCs were made completely in one of the Lego designer tools and never in real life. They look good as a 3D render but they have some glaring issues that are very obvious once you start putting it together, like the fact the entire weight of the model hangs on one stud, that you need three hands to handle the model, four while you're building it because it falls apart otherwise, and so on. Using legit Lego bricks might help a tiny bit, but won't solve the design problems. Good designs have redundant connections that reduce the effect of weak or uneven clutch. Even original Lego bricks wear out over time, and there's a limit to how much a stud can hold. A good sign is if the Rebrickable page has photos of the build, not just 3D renders.

[@RisingApe]

Yeh you aren’t wrong, even this one is a bit weak in the middle, BUT it does work and I saw a few photos before hand so I felt pretty confident going into it

Got ankylosing spondylitis among other problems so I struggle sitting, laying etc. It's just constant pain but it is a lot worse when I've been building this.

Design theft is a huge issue with some companies, but the concept of LEGO isn't protected by the patent anymore for a long time. So it isn't illegal to produce your own sets. There are quite a few really good companies, that make their own bricks (very few even have better brick quality then LEGO) and own designs. Nowadays, especially with the quality of some LEGO sets and the insane pricing, there really are many good alternatives.

[@RisingApe]

Yup, this is certainly my experience, LEGO is great, so are many other brick brands

[@yourlegoguy17]

I'm one of the Lego designers that works with LesDiy and it's onestly pretty nice to see it grow and become more popular with time Maybe one day i get lucky and someone makes a video on one of my models🗿

[@zergling05]

You are a Lego designer? and your boss doesn't mind if you develop products for the competition?

[@yourlegoguy17]

@zergling05 Well it works like this: I make my own designs at my pace and all, then when something catches their interests, they ask me if they can produce it and then make a price for the fee, and then make the box of the model In all of this i can still sell my models on my own (on Rebrickable were all of us modellers sell our instructions) but i can't sell to other companies, only LesDiy

[@zergling05]

And yes it is great indeed to see them work like this and i am glad to make this collaboration On another note, i was wondering, would you be, by any chance, interested in checking out my Rebrickable? Idk as said it would be nice to see something of mine somewhere, but i mainly focus on trains and sometimes boats too. I don't know, i lay it there and my links are on my profile here, feel free to give it a look and of course if you like something I'd give you the instructions for free since this is something like a favor, so the last thing I'd dare to do is also aks you to pay for it.

I don't see an issue with competing companies making bricks and their own models and instructions. The patent expired and it's a free market.
