When Will The Next Knockoff Video Be? They Are Super Entertaining!

[@RyanSevelVlogs]

Haven’t done knock off videos for a while because KZbin struck down two of my more popular fake LEGO videos. I’m almost certain I can find time to make another showcase video but I’ve also just found so much enjoyment making my own custom prints!

[@Alien873]

@@RyanSevelVlogs Thats Fair. Your Custom Prints Series Is Also Very Good

Recently saw a set and thought wow this looks great. Classic space too. Went to research other listings on eBay and found three identically named listing with two having the same description as the one I looked at... Too good to be true.

[@stroy2467]

Another mistake is you bought this for $150 from a seller who had 0 feedback.

[@heresthedealio3520]

1:16 is wild 😂

[@RyanSevelVlogs]

That listing is such a trip! Hopefully no one falls for it.

[@LoganBrickfilms]

So is “incomplete symbiote Spider-Man”

[@IdkAnimates12]

@@LoganBrickfilmsShould’ve just called it incomplete venom fig lol

[@Mhart1031]

Another word to look for in Lego listings is “compatable”

[@PMJohnson81]

This is why I NEVER buy from eBay. I always buy from my local Bricks and Minifigs or I try and find the main set.

[@mikeschneider361]

The irony is that this cuts both ways. I love Flego, poorly painted anime figures, etc. I've had over a dozen times where the pictures were stock images of the jenkiest bootleg on the planet made by disposable accounts with all kinds of typos in the listing. Then they sent me official products and deleted their account. I've also had times where I bought something as-is/ for parts because I wanted to tinker and try to fix it... and then I was sent a fully functioning new-in-box product instead. I've bought listings with fan-made/ knock-off game cases ( case-only ) and then had them send me new/ sealed games. I mean when you buy 'The Logand of Zanda' for $4 with free shipping and then you get a new/ sealed $70 Switch game sent straight from Nintendo of America... how are you meant to react to that? You can't really be mad. Right? You're coming out ahead. Right? The cost is never getting a satisfying answer as to what the heck they were trying to pull. Scams at least give you the peace of mind that you can imagine their motivation. This bizarro-world stuff just I don't even know...

Thanks for the awesome content man!!

[@RyanSevelVlogs]

Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@mhume0221]

Every time I buy a minifigure more than 50 dollars I generally ask for pictures of the Lego logo it’s saved me a couple times even on bricklink

[@adam_brickstreetboy]

Awesome video!

TheBrickPeople Inc company accidentally sent me Hugo Strange the wrong minifigure 😂 someone there grabbed him and not Zan

[@pigeon-sw8hs]

hey i was just wondering how much would all your marvel minifigs sell for together? im just wondering the value

[@gkline8288]

How much did he charge you? curious cuz I still need this knock off.

[@gkline8288]

Curious has anyone purchased from Best minifigs now out of Texas (Not really it's China but claims Texas.) They used to be out of MA in U.S. prior. Are they safe? I used Paypal so hopefully it works out.

[@gabrielplayz8647]

I’m hoping you make custom fortnite Lego minifigures in the future. The one I’m looking forward to most is peely.

[@alexanderbognar7967]
