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.

Please remember that I cannot verify whether the seller or the item featured is good or not. Use your own judgement and research before making any purchases.  I have no affiliation to Aliexpress or the sellers found there.

  1. Thanks for posting those! I've bought bootleg minifigs, but never the full sets. However, I do want to complete the Lego modular town, so I might cave on these. Your individual reviews of the sets make me think the drop in quality isn't significant, and I'm not really too fussed about that anyway. I've also never bought anything from Aliexpress, so I guess I might as well kill two birds with one stone.
