Unbranded S101 Sexy Grils Minifigures on Aliexpress

 

Hiya brick fans!

Way back in September 2023, I saw an Aliexpress listing for a set of 8 female minifigures dressed up in very revealing outfits.   I would recommend that these figures are for adult collectors only and not suitable for kids.

I ordered them but they never got delivered.  I raised a dispute with Aliexpress and after 2 months I got my money back.   So I went and re-ordered the minifigures again, but this time from a different Aliexpress shop.  Well, wouldn't you know these also went missing during shipment.

This was the original Aliexpress listing for the sexy girls.  They can be found on different Aliexpress shops for usually less than a dollar per minifigure with free shipping.


After four months, I have finally have the minifigures in my possession!  They don't have a specific brand, but the bags which they came in are marked S101.


My plan is to put some or all of them into my Lego knockoff Mos Eisley Cantina set, which I have sitting unbuilt in my closet.

I have seen the renderings but not any decent pictures of the sexy female minifigures.  There are 4 minifigures with dark hair and 4 with red brown hair.  The dark hair figures look a bit creepier than the brown haired minifigures.

My first impression is that the prints of the faces and torsos are quite crisp and look pretty good.

As you can see there is also printing on the back of the torsos and legs.

Of the 8 minifigures, only 1 of them has a unique hairstyle.  All of the others share the same hairpiece.  


I'm pretty happy with how the minifigures look, but I will probably change some of the heads and hairpieces in future to make them a bit more diversified.

For under a buck apiece, I think these sexy Lego compatible minifigures are unique and interesting to have in one's collection.  Lego definitely won't be making these minifigures anytime soon!   These would look great in someone's adult themed brothel building.   

This link is just one example of the listings you can find on Aliexpress: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DCHujct

But you can find more by searching Aliexpress for the term "sexy dancer blocks".   

Thanks for looking, bye!

Unbranded Version of the Lego Bricklink 910001 Castle in the Forest

 

Hi Brick fans!  Did you guys find any good deals on the 11.11 shopping holiday?  

I found this replica of the Lego Bricklink 910001 Castle in the Forest set on Aliexpress listed for approx $60 CDN (approx $40USD).  According to brickset.com the OG set currently sells for about $650 CDN. I've seen this same fake Lego set sell on Aliexpress for approx $90 CDN, but $60 was definitely the cheapest.  The seller was really new and only had a feedback score of 6, but I thought why not give it a try because I could always raise a dispute with Aiexpress in case the item wasn't shipped or something different was sent.

I waited for a few days and kept checking the store listing on Aliexpress.  Suddenly, all of the store items, well over 200 building block sets, were no longer there.   The store was still there but it was empty.  I had that sinking feeling in my gut that is was Aliexpress dispute time.


A few days later, I checked my order and it was assigned a tracking number.  This typically happens for a lot of bogus stores so that you can't cancel the transaction due to non shipment.  A tracking number tells the Aliexpress platform that the item has shipped regardless whether it actually did or not.  During the course of the listing on Aliexpress, the tracking number never updated.

Instead of using the Aliexpress package tracker I decided to plug the tracking number into my favourite tracking app called the Parcels Tracking App, and now I could see my package was making it's way through the Canada Post delivery service.   Turns out my package had shipped on Nov 14 and arrived in Canada Nov 18.  And today Nov 23, the Castle in the Forest replica set arrived at my doorstep!



Sadly, the store from which I bought from has now disappeared off Aliexpress, so I can't even leave positive feedback for them.   Anyways, the replica set is unbranded and has a set number of 85668 if anyone is curious.  Piece count on the manual says 1957 pieces so hopefully it's all there.   If not, I won't really be able to get contact the seller since they are no longer on the Aliexpress platform.

Here are some other stores selling the replica Castle in the Forest version on Aliexpress.  Hope you can find a good deal!

Look for a full review in the coming months.  I currently have a ton of other sets to build and review, thanks to Afobrick.com, Funwhole.com and Sillbird.com, so I can't get to it any sooner.

Anyways, that's all I wanted to say for today,   Bye for now!
