Is Fake Lego Worth It?? | Funwhole A Frame Cabin

Honestly nice to see you branching out, and would love to see you review other things every once in a while. I hope the video does well

It's not "fake Lego," it's a competing brand, of which there are many, often as good as or better than Lego, often with officially licensed sets, and often much cheaper. Fake Lego sets are the counterfeits pretending to be actual Lego sets.

[@Nova5041]

Thank you for explaining this to people, people seem to be completely unaware that Lego no longer has a patent on bricks.

[@SO-ym3zs]

@@Nova5041 It's weird and sad that there are all these competing brands that people don't know about or lazily and inappropriately dismiss as "fake." Other brands can't copy Lego's 'minifigures. But like you say, Lego doesn't have rights to the whole building brick idea.

[@jaylow3392]

@@SO-ym3zs it's funny that you wouldn't call them real LEGO; thus, its "fake". The main reason that those competing brands are "fake" because the pieces are not only compatible to genuine LEGO parts, also they are almost identical to LEGO pieces. Even though it is legal to sell clone pieces now, but it doesn't mean these clone brands didn't steal the designs and ideas from LEGO.

[@SO-ym3zs]

@@jaylow3392 There's an important distinction between the counterfeit brands that steal Lego (or MOC) designs (e.g. Lepin) and sell them as their own, and the legit companies that sell Lego-compatible bricks with their own original designs, have their own legit licensing agreements, their own unique pieces, etc. (Cobi, Pantasy, FunWhole, BlueBrixx, MegaConstrux, etc.) Remember that Lego took their idea for interlocking toy bricks from another company in the first place. The brick idea itself is the equivalent of open source material. Other companies like Cobi have later invented their own unique pieces and building techniques based off that original idea.

[@Sarrrdelya]

Like a person, who buys bootleg bionicle i would say: "don't buy knockoff lego because the official stuff is expensive, buy it for what it does (for example: minifigs of Gvenpool, Bionicle (g1 or not))

[@bricknmotor]

Not every locking brick toy out there is fake or knockoff lego. Lego doesnt own the rights to the interlocking design. Anybody can make their own designs and their own products if they want. Lego has copyright to their minifig desing,their own set designs and obviously their own name and logo design. Jesus christ when are people gonna learn this and unstick their heads out of this lego delusion they have. Its like all these lego purest are all for monopolies the way they act.

[@Nova5041]

Preach....Thank You!!! It's so amazing, how many people think anything with bricks that don't say Lego are fake lego.

[@kongutahu]

Lego has done sliding shoji doors on some Ninjago sets (although those only incorporate the window pane element and not the whole doorframe) and plenty of Star Wars sets have included sliding blast doors (but those are much larger and don't use the specialized door elements). There's probably some Friends or City set that has doors exactly like this but I don't pay that much attention to those themes so I'm not certain

It's not fake. It's a different brand. And if they make all their own sets then it's definitely worth checking.

[@FerJMonge]

This are NOT fake Legos! It's a totally legal company.

Woah, wasn’t expecting something non-Transformers😂

[@therailfanman2078]

I like buying third-party WWII kits since LEGO doesn't make military kits (pain)

[@zenkaimommy]

It's set and not kit.

[@SO-ym3zs]

Cobi makes a ton of WWII-themed vehicles, and their sets are as good as Lego, and they're easy to come by. No great loss that Lego won't make them.

[@Knight_Prime]

[@oscartrim-wilson]

This is still a Transformer cuz it transforms from a pile of bricks to a house

[@NotoriousF.O.X.X]

Honestly this A-frame cabin set looks better than the official lego A-frame cabin set which is only a small cabin while this one looks better because of the extension on the side.

[@crsocoll]

i will buy this if i have a chance

[@wrixchanger3985]

Fun fact: There's a massive Fake Lego BUMBLEBEE™ that you should check out

[@NoGoodDirtyRicer]

I like fake Lego, it’s usually cheaper and you can find sets that Lego hasn’t made without have to order a bunch of, sometimes expensive, Lego bricks. Like you said you’ve just got to watch out for the companies that steal peoples MOCs. At this point I’ve bought my fair share of cars, motorcycles and mopeds from non-Lego companies and they’ve all been pretty good.

[@DewbackFilms]

i don’t like buying fake lego, except mega construx call of duty sets, because there close to scale with transformers and the figures are pretty jointed too.

[@OtisCluck]

Mega Construx isn’t really “fake Lego” tho, they’re more of a competitor

[@aarononeil9832]

While the quality of the plastic can differ and isn't always as good, I have no issue with other companies doing their own thing with what we know as LEGO, my issue comes only when they steal official designs and even worse steal fan designs. So if this set really is their own design (albeit it the same rough idea as the LEGO one) then I've no issue with it.

[@Bmontepeque11]

This actually looks very nice! if you have special guests or something at night you could light it up :) Also, I loke seeing Lego reviews on your channel!

[@xiphossigil8302]

I've always been a Lego collector and I'm no stranger to good quality KO Lego. Although the past few years I've just been collecting WW2 themed Lego. My favorite part about Studio Series Transformers and Lego is that the figures scale well together LOL. Off-Road Jeep Bumblebee can even give ride to Lego Minifigures

[@Ranma_Leopard]

What's your thoughts on nanoblocks?

[@aladdinsane5925]

Nah it's clearly 3rd Party Lego.

Hi

[@friedasauerzweig467]

It's not fake lego, lego don't own the bricks they where just the one who got most popular with it and have some the Licenses, bc blue bricks an other company has the official license for star trek and so amazing sets and an other called mega bloks has he men and Pokémon, and in my opinion the only thing witch is holding lego together are the licenses and minifigures the set feel rather cheap quality by nower days the set feel emotionless and are highly overpriced the only thing I recommend mostly very very hard are the more cheaper set they feel a lot more fun and that the one who where making this set thought about what they are doing Sorry I got a bit all over the place but here a little Rabbit for 😊 (\_/) ( •.•) ~Rabbit /> |>

[@oscartrim-wilson]

You do realize that the only reason why most of these companies exist is to try to achieve the same success as LEGO, right?

[@oscartrim-wilson]

Which by definition means that these other companies are just copying LEGO, making them fake LEGO.

[@piens51]

​@@oscartrim-wilsonThey would be if they copied Legos sets wholsale. Insted if fake I would call them alternative brands rn since they arent as big as Lego. Them using the same brick system kund of is a mokt point honestly since Legos copyright on those has ran out and hence is open for anyines use. Lego might have made it popular System but its demeaning to call the companies that make their own sets with quality pieces fake. Would be like calling diffrent furniture companies fakes because they use similar tehniques for cupboard asembly.

[@AnhNguyen1986]

The side room is weird and kills the idea of "A-Frame". I'd rather buy the original set for 180$.

[@ArachnidEdits_]

Actually most a frame cabins have that

[@troyplayzgames]

i like buying fake lego because most of them are cheaper and better than Lego.

[@piens51]

Saying "fake" if they are doing their own thing and not copying Lego sets 1:1 feels just wrong. Last couple of years the brands have really steped up while there still are some trash that just copy paste Lego set designs many legit present their own sets.

[@troyplayzgames]

@@piens51 aren't knockoff Lego brands just fake too? they technically are copying Legos because they are using Lego bricks

[@piens51]

@@troyplayzgames the trademark on on the pieces ran out few years ago. Their using the same sytem as Lego yes but really are they any more fake as multiple diffrent furniture companies using same furniture asembly tehniques? The whole not Lego=bad thing was mostly because before their legal bariers on bricks lapses was no way to be legaly use the slightly improved bricks lego made way back. That only left those that were willing to settle for the inferior design or be illegal and since they where ilegal why not go further and copy Lego sets 1:1. Besides lego wasnt even the 1st company that used the brick system their just the ones that got popular.

That’s crazy it cost $90 lol. I paid $63 for a copy of the Lego A-frame cabin from a bootleg site. If you know where to shop, you can get pretty much any set for less than half of the real deal version. And a lot of those sites also have stolen MOCs lol

[@notgray88]

[@bricknmotor]

Not a bootleg though.

[@Movietuff]

Were the lego copy bricks good quality ones?

[@glassjar7814]

@@Movietuff yeah they have the same friction as normal bricks and a very close feel. They don’t feel cheap or like a mega blok quality. And they fit very well with real LEGO. Only downside I find is the minifigs are usually pretty bad. Especially if they have new molds or prints. And any MOCs that they sell are usually not great at staying together as some technic pieces don’t have the right “lock”. I avoid new sets. Mostly I’ve only bought retired sets that are insanely expensive now. Another positive is the dark red/brown bricks don’t snap so my UCS Slave 1 didn’t have that problem

[@oscartrim-wilson]

At least in my opinion, fake Lego is almost always terrible, and this is no exception. Just get a real set.

[@Sporkmanb]

No

[@piens51]

Debends on brand really. Those that copy lego sets? No those can burn in hell. Those that make their own sets with quality peaces. Yes worth atlest as glancing look.
