Aliexpress: Enlighten 110 Police Station


I think this Enlighten 110 Police Station building set is really good value for only $18.99 USD.  This is a big set with over 589 pieces.  The station has lots of accessories and about 5 mini figures.  There is a separate building that houses the jail.  You also get a helicopter, a police motorcycle trike, and a police van.  Normally, each of those vehicle building sets would run you about $4 to $5 each, so I gotta say this set is really inexpensive.

Here's the link.

Aliexpress: Lepin 01008 Friends Rollercoaster


Ok, once in awhile, these kind of listings show up on Aliexpress and I get a big chuckle out of them. This new Lepin 01008 Friends Rollercoaster set isn't out yet, so that's why it must be so expensive.  I tried to see if any one of the 1124 pieces was plated in gold or not.  At $4,788 USD, that means each piece in the set costs about $4 each.  Well, at least you get free shipping, lol.

In case you are filthy rich, or just want to blow your money, here's the link to it

Aliexpress: Sheng Yuan SY305 Iron Man Lab


I remember when the SY305 Iron Man lab was made by Sheng Yuan back in 2014.  It was a copy of a Lego idea that never got made.  I think it sold for about $25 USD, and now two years later, it's cheaper than ever at only $20.90 USD.   The lab comes with 4 different Iron Man armours and Tony Stark minifigure.  There are approx 503 pieces to this super heroes building set.

I like the diorama nature of this building set, but wish they had made it more modular in nature.  I don't think the Lego Avengers Tower had been produced yet, so I guess they did not think about integrating the 2 sets together.  It would have made a cool basement for the Tower.

Here's the listing for it.

Aliexpress: Pogo 8012 X-Men Minifigures and Pogo 8015 Bikes Sets


Here's a cool find on Aliexpress that I found today.  For the small amount of $8.45 USD, you can get both the Pogo 8012 X-Men Minifigure set AND the Pogo 8015 Bicycle sets.




Normally, it will cost you that amount for only one set or the other, but not both.  You get eight minifigures and eight bikes for a total of 16 pieces.  That works out to about 0.52 USD for each piece.
I reviewed the X-men minifigure set here.

Aliexpress: Where to Find the Cheapest Lepin Modular Buildings


I gotta say, now is a wonderful time if you are a fan of Modular buildings.  In the short span of six months, we have seen every Lego modular copied, even the most famous Green Grocer.   If you are new to Lepin and worry that you have missed the boat on getting some cheap modular buildings, fear not, as I have curated a list of bootlegged modular buildings you can find on Aliexpress right now for under $60 USD delivered.

Let's take a look at what I found.

Lepin 15004 Fire Brigade



Here's the Lepin 15004 Fire Brigade set. It is a knock-off of the Lego 10197 set which is now retired. It has 2313 pieces and comes with a vintage fire truck and several minifigures.  On Aliexpress, it is selling for $58.35 USD shipped.  I have this set and you can find my review of it here.

This seller has it even cheaper at $56.68 USD.




Lepin 15009 Pet Shop



This Lego set is still in production, but Lepin chose to copy it anyways. It has 2128 pieces and is selling on Aliexpress for $58.37 USD.  I bought this set, but haven't built it yet.

This seller has it cheaper at $57.12 USD.


Lepin 15002 Cafe Corner



The Lepin 15002 Cafe Corner was the first bootleg modular I ever bought.  Although there are some minor differences between this set and the original Lego 10182 set, the build was still fun.  The Lepin version has 2133 pieces and can be found for $57.94 USD.   I have set also and you can find my review of it here.


Another seller has the Cafe Corner for $56.59



Lepin 15008 Green Grocer



Oh btw, I couldn't find a Lepin 15008 Green Grocer for under $60 USD, but it's not a lot more expensive at $61.25.   If you don't feel like paying over $1000 USD for the real Lego Green Grocer, you can get this set from the link below.



Anyways, if you want to check out whether you think the quality of the Lepin sets is any good, you can try it out for less than a night out for dinner.
