- My final thoughts and takeaways building the massive 11,885 piece Mould King ISD Monarch. Part 1 is an overview and some positive notes. Part 2 will include some small gripes and final thoughts. I also have short videos of each section (22 in total) that will be uploaded to show some inside views, thoughts at each point, etc.
UPDATE: This set appears to be based on the Rebrickable MOC designed by ONECASE. Please consider supporting this awesome creator via his webpage:
rebrickable.co...
Awesome build! I have been a huge Lego fan for years. The problem I have with Lego is the cost and availability of some sets. Over the last 3 or 4 years I have been buying the non-lego sets such as Mould King, Lepin, etc... and to be completely honest I will more than likely keep buying the non-lego sets. Aside of some minor details on the mini figs and missing Lego imprint on the studs, Most people that view my collection can't tell the difference. I am currently building the 12,000+ piece Millennium Falcon with the full interior from Mould King and I am very please. I paid about $280 including shipping. Lego wants a minimum of $700 for their version, but its only 7,000+ pieces and not nearly as nice or as detailed. Currently I have about 150+ sets, all Star Wars, and I would say about 75% of those sets are non-Lego.
Oh and you are absolutely correct about the tool Mould King provides! I LOVE the hammer! Especially for the larger sets and parts like you said! Keep up the great work on your videos.
@jcrowsm3 Thanks so much for the kind words! I am much like you, I find myself going more and more to non-lego sources for the bigger and more diverse builds you find in the other brands compared to Lego. Cost as well as the simple improvements and added design features truly are one of the best reasons for the non-Lego brands and quality for me has not been an issue on any of the sets. If you don't mind me asking where did you find such a great deal on that 12K Millennium Falcon set? I have been mulling that one over for quite a while haha!
As long as you're having a good time and feeling self-fulfilled, congrats!
Totally agree with your sentiments here
Dare I say there's also the pleasant surprise of using your building skills to deal with imperfections in these non-LEGO builds
Agreed!! Just got the Islet Bar from Mould King that was almost 4K pieces and included the lighting for $120. Lego that would cost $400 easy and no lighting. Another great brand is FunWhole. They even integrate the lighting and wiring into the instructions. Top notch!
Thanks for giving onecase a shout-out and buying his instructions. I'm torn on these sets. If Lego isn't going to make them. I'm glad someone does. Star Wars IP aside. But, the thing I'm frustrated about is they don't compensate the original designers! I'm glad you did. Another guy here on CZcams had a video similar to yours and when I asked if he paid onecase for the instructions, he asked who that was when I told him he ignored me. Thanks again!
Thanks for the comment! It's funny as after buying the Mould King I was googling the Monarch name to see if there were any reviews or instructions online and that is how I found out about Onecase and realized what they had done by leveraging his MOC design. I was surprised to see how many of those types of things occur in the non-lego sets (so many refer to bricklink or MOC). The ironic thing is that due to the sheer number and cost of actual lego pieces to build the Onecase Monarch, I might have never tried it without the Mould king set being available.
It seems to me that the non-lego world would make a killing if they simply worked with and actually compensated these MOC builders for the designs and then could get even more advertisement and visibility for both sides (company and MOC creators)! After building this it has made me be a little more cautious on non-lego that refer to MOC or bricklink and I try to find the original instructions/creator where possible.
I am thinking of doing less core Lego sets and focusing videos more on Rebrickable, Bricklink and other MOC sites/designers to spotlight some of these amazing designs and start getting more visibility to these great designers that work so hard. It may not do much, but perhaps it gets a few more buyers or donations to keep doing these great MOCs.
Looks absolutely amazing
I don't have room for this sadly but I have ordered a nice looking midi star destroyer from mould king. Can't wait
I'm new to the world of Lego and Lego alternatives, I'm perfectly happy to support competition
Wow! I'd really like to build this one! Tempting to build a coffee table around this one
LoL yeah, this thing is a beast both during and after build! I will say though, it has to be one of the best finished builds I have ever seen and there is no way I could have afforded to do it with Lego pieces, Mould King was the only way to go (290 bucks versus thousands via Bricklink Legos). The numbered bags like actual Lego sets are a lifesaver compared to many non-lego generic bags in generic parts (which would have killed me) for many clones.
An excellent review thank you. It’s going on my bucket list
loved building this too. Only had a bit of trouble with the tip of the ship. Funny how one of the best features of the ship isn't easily visible, which is the docking bay.
Hi Warren! So I ended up using a couple of clear bands on the front tips to help align them and keep them from seperating. At first it was just a temporary hold during the build, but honestly once I got the build in place in the living room, they were practically invisible so I left them haha. I agree about wishing the docking bay could be better displayed (perhaps to have them tractor beaming in the Tantive IV), but short of putting it on a higher display (which then would kind of hide all the beauty of the top), I am stumped. Perhaps some sort of angled display like some users do for the Millenium Falcon UCS? Although that is ALOT of weight to try to prop at an angle, I can only imagine watching it tip over or the top sections detach in a horror movie slow motion haha! How did you decide to display yours?
@@OldNSurly I'm using a 38"x57" Ikea Kallax shelf to display it. Just barely fits widthwise, but easily accessible for the annual dusting. I got mine from a shop on aliexpress, and none of the bags corresponded to the instructions! So imagine having to sort 12,000 lego pieces before you start. This thing was almost not even made because it was too tedious to sort. But you're right, the price can't be beat. Bought the instructions from Onecase out of sheer appreciation.
@@urispas2 That sounds like a great solution! I used a side table that is in the corner of the living room so you walk in and stare at a star destroyer when you sit down haha. I recently did an Ali Express clone of the UCS AT-AT and it was that same un-numbered chaos (though less pieces than you suffered with). That literally filled my kitchen table and counter up with plastic bowls full of pieces and as you said, took longer to organize than build. I almost threw in the towel, but after all that effort I had to finish it haha.
@@OldNSurly isn’t that funny. I also bought a UCS clone of the AT-AT from aliexpress, but the bags matched up to the instructions perfectly. It’s the copy of the official lego set, not the AT-AT moc by richboyjae. Anyways, the money I saved buying the clone went towards a whole lot of extra tiles. I completely reskinned the AT-AT and now looks more like the First Order AT-AT.
Thank you for these videos! It was because you made these I decided to get this model. I'm currently on bag 4.
You're correct, the bags being numbered are a huge help. And yes sometimes it's hard to understand exactly where to place a piece. But the quality is great!
I recommend Mould King to anyone not sure.
Mine took 2 months to arrive in the UK but that was my fault, because I ordered from Alibaba! (I won't do that again).
Cheers again for these helpful videos.
Hello! Thanks so much for the comment, it means a lot that these videos are in some way helpful to others out there! I am loving the Mould King builds so far, I just got in their Venator build (about half the pieces of this build) and can't wait to start! I plan on doing videos like this series to hopefully help out others on that one as well. Is this your largest build? Have you done any other larger Mould King or Lego Clone builds?
@@OldNSurly This is my largest build of any kind. I've not used Lego since I was a kid. But I've helped my nephew build Lego recently to know it's good quality.
I decided to go all in with this one based on my research of Mould King, including your videos. For less money, more pieces to build, and end up with a larger model.. I couldn't not try this.
@@repentant2"recommend mould king to anyone" as far as I know, the ISD Monarch is the only good quality product from mould king.
Thanks for doing this video. It was super informative!
Thank you for the kind words! I hoped it would shed some insight into some of these other cool sets out there that don't seem to have a lot of info available on CZcams. I hope to keep doing sets in the future such as non-Lego and perhaps older retired Lego sets that missed the CZcams generation haha. Have you built any sets recently? Any that you would recommend? Have a great day!
@@OldNSurly I think reviewing clone bricks sets is really interesting. Not many CZcamsrs do it but I think that there’s going to be more sets coming out as Lego bricks prices aren’t getting any cheaper and there’s talented builders such as onecase that deserve to have their sets next to Lego branded sets. I have a lot of Lego sets but haven’t built much this year due to time constraints.
I’ve heard the big medical frigate from Mould King is nice to look at but a nightmare to build! I’d love to see an in depth review of the Death Star docking bay and other ships that Lego haven’t made sets of. Have a great day too!
@@OldNSurly , thank you for your acknowledgement.
Talked to you awhile back about this set and a few months ago I finally bought it! Just got it done, your technical videos on this set really helped slot. Thanks a bunch for your videos M8 keep doin your thing!
I am so glad to hear that they were helpful in some small way! It means a lot for you to reach out and tell me! Thanks for watching and I hope to start the Mould King Venator very soon (I have had to postpone for some time and finally have the time to focus on it haha). Take care and hope the build is going well!
I just saw this on Amazon and went straight to this video. I want this so bad. This is crazy, especially for the price. Do has one spot for it. Might have to cave in and get this.
I felt the same way, the sheer size of the build for the cost made it a no-brainer. I had no issues with the non-Lego pieces and it is holding up great after a year without issues! Glad to hear you already made a space as I did not and found myself scrambling for space after the build haha! Take your time with the build and do it is sections and you will find it so much more enjoyable and avoid any major mess ups (I tried to do too many steps some nights and found myself back tracking a few times haha). I hope the videos help you in some small way and hope to hear how your build is going!
Think this will be a Christmas present for me. I only have the 2014 Lego AT-AT, and a Slave 1. The AT-AT took 9 hours over 2 days. At that rate it will take 5 hours a day for 18 days to build this, but to have any Star Destroyer at this size will be insane.
Hey OldNSurly. I found your video on a New Zealand sell n buy site Trade Me, this is amazing and i have built the new UCS Star Destroyer and your set is nicer and it is the same price as Lego set and the gap at the top, love how it is sorted on this one.
Omg sorry for commenting so much but I found it on wish for 269$ and for my first wish I get 5$ of can’t wait to buy it and build it!
That is awesome!!!! I think you found the mould king store that I was going to send you to on wish haha! I think you will really love this build, the numbered bags make it very manageable to do in sections, just be prepared for it to take up some space during and after the build haha! If I can answer any questions I am happy to help!
Great review, I'm sold on this
I have to say that it definitely stopped me from picking up the UCS afterwards. My hope is that I can go bigger at some point, I've seen the 20K+ SD running around out there that has captured my interest haha!
Thanks for these very helpful and informative videos. Just received mine today and can’t wait to build it.
Thanks for the kind word! If I can help in any other ways, feel free to reach out and I'll try to get answers! I am getting ready to start building the Mould King Venator next and plan to do the same kind of videos for that build.
Jason K, thanks for the ❤️ recognition.
Thanks for the great comments David, hope things are going well!
@@OldNSurly , thanks. And you.
Where did you find this thing? $289 is a great price and a bit cheaper then I'm currently able to find it.
Hi Dustin! I purchased mine off Wish.com in the Mould King store section. They have it for a few dollars more now (298) but most of the time you can get extra discount codes or in cart price coupons as well. I would still buy it even at the new price. I loved this build!
@@OldNSurly Thats a great price. Goes for at least $50 more on ebay and $100 more on Aliexpress. Thanks for the info.
@@OldNSurly I was just able to place an order for $286.28 after tax and shipping with the help of a couple of coupon codes. Absolutely killer deal. Thanks again for the info.
@@jubei20111 glad to help! I'd love to see some pics and hear how your build goes! Have a big space ready for the final product haha!!!
@@OldNSurly I have a spot picked out for it already, a 5' wide nook in the hallway between my office and game room. I'm a slow builder, maybe 25 steps per day but I'll sent some images when its done. Can't wait!
I dont suppose you have product codes for the blue bit's? It does look so much better. Good vid thanks.
I love the looks of the Mould King sets, however I’m still leery of the quality. Dedicated LEGO fan here, but with the LEGO costs, I’m certainly considering the alternatives to LEGO. Have you considered building the MK Eclipse-class dreadnought?
Hello! I had the same quality concerns initially as I had never purchased MK products before this build. I was very pleasantly surprised as they have excellent texture, plastic quality and hold. Even the instructions were far better than I feared they would be. I think some of these larger non-lego companies have stepped up their game recently and see the value of quality improvements to capture more of the LEGO community (as the prices go up on LEGO, more folks will look elsewhere). There is just no way I could have afforded building this set in actual LEGO at current market prices. I have the MK Republic Vindicator next in the queue (almost as large as this, though far less pieces haha) but that dreadnought is on my radar! It looks amazing. Have you purchased any large scale builds yourself yet?
@@OldNSurly glad to hear your experience has been a positive one overall! A few places I’ve looked have mentioned missing pieces from bags/having to buy LEGO brand in order to supplement; so I’m wondering if that’s a general problem or more of a rarity. Just from videos, the pieces do indeed look high quality and from what I’ve heard; the fit and finish of the main pieces generally exceeds the LEGO tolerances.
I personally haven’t bought any large scale sets, since I don’t have the available space required 😂😂 but I hope to have that in the future! Thanks for your input!
@@Dank-gb6jn In this set I had no missing parts (in fact a whole bunch of extra) so did not have to try to request and missing pieces from MK. Of course with them being overseas I assume it may take a while to receive any replacements (I have had other clone sets with the occasional missing piece and just used bricklink for that reason). I think MK and Lepin seem to have a pretty good reputation for accuracy/completeness compared to some other smaller companies. If you decide to get something like this, definitely plan the space during and after assembly haha.. Lets just say this is a major piece in my living room as I have no other place to put it haha!
@@OldNSurly after recently getting back into building, I’ve saved up a small but varied collection of small pieces, so I’d (likely) be able to offset a tiny missed part, but anything larger is Brick Link or local shop territory lol. I don’t do enough international ordering to really warrant PayPal; but I assume a regular prepaid gift card and Walmart/Amazon would work just as well.
Yeah, definitely will want to plan space accordingly if I ever decide to get into the MK game; the downside to a smaller house: not enough room for big LEGOs 😂😂
Just finished mine ,but the blockade runner is missing the 8 white stud shooters for the engines so I will have to contact Mould King or order some, but the star destroyer looks awesome
What’s your thoughts on the multi colored bricks scattered throughout? Would it look better with just light bluish gray?
Hi fantastic build I have been on mine for about 30 hours and got to book B could you please send me the link for the blue translucent engine parts finishs it of lovely
I think I got this I didn't think it would be this big, What did I get myself into now?
Hello! I know that feeling I didn't think I could complete the thing when I first saw the huge pile of bags haha. But just jump in and before you know it, you will be done and ready for the next major build! Good luck and let me know how it goes!
@OldNSurly I will, and thanks for wishing me luck! And thanks for the tip!! *update * Its half way over! And its looking amazing so far! It was worth the wait!
Never really settled with my UCS SSD. The new LEGO SD looks unfinished next to this
Hello! I have to agree, that tile finish really sets it off. Its very similar in overall size to the UCS despite having such a higher part count overall. I am going to build their Venator next to see how it stacks up to this in quality and to the LEGO UCS Venator. Thanks so much for the comment and for watching!
which blue stones did you use for the drives? do you have a number and which manufacturer?

did you buy this through Mould King or Wish?
Hey I was wondering what was the packaging like for this would king set ?
Hello! So this set arrived to me from Wish in the original Mould King box and contained all of the individual step bags and the 2 large manuals. I know some sites remove the box to save on shipping costs, so if that is important to you make sure to look at the details for the seller. The bags were well packaged (I had no missing pieces) and followed the instructions steps very well. I have received the Mould King Venator a while back ( I found a good deal on it) and I plan on doing a similar set of videos for that one as well.
Found one on Walmart for 200$ what a steal
That is a great deal! Have you started building it yet?
@@OldNSurly No, I am building it as soon as it arrives. Bought it as a early Christmas present for myself. It is a great deal for being 200$ cheaper than buyibg it off of the Mould King website
You got a steal because I’m trying to buying this but I can’t find one under 389$ USD crazy amount.
@@adamz8586 Hello! I bought mine from wish. This is the link I used when I bought it. I think it still sells around the same price as when I purchased it:. www.wish.com/product/5e15973175a9360b7935923c
The seller on that link is supposed to be mould king itself, perhaps that is why the price is better? I hope that helps!
@@Dylan-pl6wvDid it come with the og black box, or just a plain cardboard one?
Hello, I'm at bag 11, building rear engines, and i miss 1x Grey bar 4L for the Central engine. Do it appear in next bags?
Hello! That is strange. I did have several pieces that tended to be used in future bags, but can't recall any for bag 11. It may be possible it is in bag 12, but I think it may be a missing piece. Have you found any others misplaced so far?
@@OldNSurly yes, but in the opposte way. Some piece founded in bag 1 and used for bag 2, and so on. I didnt check in bag 12.
Anyway, i tried to fit the Central round exhaust just to see how it goes in, and the two specular engines parts are blocking it. Any hint?
do instructions come in the box or do you have to buy them separately?
Hello Zack! Yes it comes with full size manuals that contain the steps. I mention buying instructions in the video only for those that want to help out the original creator of this build (onecase) as I am not sure if Mould King bought the rights to use it. I did build it from the Mould King instructions originally and had no major issues with them other than a few pieces were a little hard to determine position on the pictures.
holy shit
I hope that is a good holy shit and not based on how poorly I make videos haha. Are you looking at building this set? Have a great day!
@@OldNSurly I am impressed by the size of this thing! 😱
@@OldNSurly I don't care how bad your videos are dude, all I know is
you are good at building these things
Hey, I was wondering if you have the dimensions on the base of this set. I was curious if I could get this bad boy to fit on a 30” wide top shelf without any concern of overhang or depth
Hi, let me get some measurements for you! It's been awhile and I can't remember off the top of my head haha.
@@OldNSurlyhaha all good, respect you replying to a video from so long ago 👊🏼
@@OldNSurly sup man, were you able to get those measurements?
@@razrxnova4408 Hello sorry for the delay had to get home from work haha. So the base has 2 main feet in the back and 1 small support foot near the front. If you drew a rectangle around those 3 supports it would be roughly 7 inches wide and 28 inches long. Of course the actual ship is significantly wider and longer but if you are looking for just the bases "footprint" then go with 7x28 inches and you would be safe. If I can give you any more Info just let me know!
@@razrxnova4408 Happy to help I know how frustrating it can be to get replies from folks on older videos so I always try to watch for any notices!
Can't find it anymore anywhere near this price unless someone has a suggestion.
Hi Mark! I will do some digging, it was still about 300 on wish last week but it now shows 535! Same buyer I used (mould king). My hope is that this is just a temporary jump.
Mark it looks like the price has returned to around 280 dollars on Wish if you are still looking!

@@OldNSurly
@@rickyalexander459 I hope the video and piece list helps out in some small way!!
Can it be lighted?
Hello! I believe it could be with minimal issue. Most lighting kits out there are simple insert between the bricks and routing the wire inside the build. However if I were to do that, I would recommend getting the lights and planning the locations before you build the kit as it would be a severe pain to have to disassemble the different areas to do it later.
I do think that I may look for a small light kit that I could route through the engines to highlight the blue color bricks. That may be a fairly easy mod as the engines can be removed without having to do any major section break down. The only hitch may be where to put the wiring and battery pack (although the top section lifts off easily so that may be the best option). You have me thinking now haha!
Is that possible to still find this only under 300$?
Hi Aron, did you see my reply to your other comment to the Wish page that I found it for about 290?
What scale is this kit, please?
Hi David! So this build is actually bigger than the lego UCS star destroyer, and it appears to end up being about a 1:1455 scale based on calculations made by a Rebrickable MOC builder. He actually has created a number of lego ship builds that are at the proper scale for this destroyer so that you can add other Imperial and rebel fleet ships that are proportioned correctly, even some fighters! Here is a link to his page:
rebrickable.com/users/Kdapt-Preacher/mocs/
I have already started ordering parts to build some of these and can't wait to expand the Monarch's imperial support fleet haha!
I hope this helps?
@@OldNSurly , yes, thanks. I wish you every success! To be candid, the innumerable Lego studs spoil the accuracy of the model for me. Had I the money, I would commission someone to build for me a more cinematically accurate replica based upon the kit. (Yes, you, if you would like.) I lack the strength and the joint capacity to wield such a beast! (I would use the Force, but--aww, I just keep dozing off! SMH!)
As a comparison, the AMT, Polar Lights, Round 2 kits of the last three Starships Enterprise (C, D, E) are in 1:1400th scale.
Let me guess: your next project will be designing and building Emperor Palpatine's (Ian McDiarmid) super star destroyer, as we saw in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back (1980, 20th Century Fox, Irvin Kershner, John Williams) in the same scale, right?
Then the Death Star of Yavin IV in Star Wars: A New Hope (1977, 20th Century Fox, George Lucas, John Williams).
After that, the much larger replacement yet under construction, which in actuality was a "fully armed and operational battle station!", in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi (1983, 20th Century Fox, Richard Marquand, John Williams)?
@@DavidRLentz I love your post! That is such a great vision of trying to build these large scale items to a more accurate scale has always been a dream of mine as well. Ever since seeing the first scroll of Star Wars and the seemingly never ending star destroyer chasing the rebels, I was hooked. I have to say the imperial and clone ships are my favorite (perhaps due to my military background, I prefer the sheer variety and combat oriented items, plus the storm troopers are simply a sight to behold). I thought similarly about trying to reduce even more the visible studs to truly polish off this build, I was just so wiped out after 40 days of building I threw in the towel and just followed the instructions haha.
I would love to build the executor in a correct scale but from what I researched the ship was 19000 meters to the star destroyer's 1600 I would have a 60+ foot Executor in my house (time to knock out some walls)! If only I were independently rich, it would not be too far fetched in my mind (of course hiring many hands to aid in that monstrous build as well)haha.
@@OldNSurly , I was pulling your leg about the Executor and the Death Stars. If you build it, ask Master Yoda (Frank Oz) or Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) to lift it for you.
Star Wars trivia; true or false: Ahsoka Tano (Rosario Dawson) was the first character to call Luke "Master Luke".
@@DavidRLentz LoL very true, but now I am intrigued just how large a scale of executor could be lego built haha!
Hmmm......I am torn, I think that may be false (didn't C3PO call him that, though not as a "Jedi Master"? If that is the criteria, calling him Master based on Jedi rank, perhaps it is true? You made me think too hard hahaha!
I am trying to subscribe, but an on-screen caption tells me that I "have too many subscriptions for the number of subscribers". Whatever that is supposed to mean!
I do not see well (allergies blur my vision, and photosensitivity makes my eyes burn! Aren't you glad I'm not driving?), so could you please sort this with CZcams for me? Thank you.
David, I did some digging and found this:
If you see an error message that says "Too many subscriptions," you've reached your subscription limit. You can only subscribe to 75 channels per day. In general, you can subscribe to a maximum of 2,000 channels.
It may be that you have hit your maximum of 2000 subscriptions on your account or that you subscribed to a large amount in one day? You may have to unsubscribe from some to add more. I am probably close to that limit myself haha, I always find so many interesting channels out there, especially for Lego builds. I hope that helps and I have some age related vision issues, so I can sympathize with how straining technology can be to folks with vision concerns!
@@OldNSurly , I can see up close; round 10 cm, or 4". If allergies are not blurring everything, or photosensitivity is not making them burn and tear. Distance? I wouldn't know; I cannot see it! Aren't you glad I'm not driving?
Thanks for the feedback on the subscriptions.
I subsequently found something new: some eastern European modelbuilder (I could not find a name) posts a build of Zvezda's 1:2700th-scale kit of the Imperial Star Destroyer. He even illuminates the interior, fenestration, drive exhausts, hangar bay, etc. For all the windows he used "less than 12 parsecs" of fibre optics.
I think I found a way one can find his video: czcams.com/users/idaemonplasmo
Please let me know 1) if this works, and especially, 2) whether his video facilitates your efforts. It seems to me that such a big model cries out for illumination! Had I the means, I would require it!
you gave the wrong credit bruh, mould king only stole this build from onecase, and you mentioned mould king instead of the original creator in the title
put onecase in the title somehow
Amplifire, excellent point! I have added an update to the description of both part 1 and 2 with Onecase's Rebrickable link and will update the others shortly as well. I do mention onecase in the 2nd video if I remember correctly and in some of the section videos, and suggest that builders purchase his instructions as a way to ensure he gets compensated. But you are right, if Mould King did not compensate him for his hard work, shame on them! I wish that what they had done was compensate him for each kit sold, since realistically it would be crazy expensive to build this set in actual lego pieces. Take care and thanks again for the great input!
Sorry, but in the description of the video, the name of the original moc designer may be mistyped.
@@jeffreylee1882 Thanks so much for catching that!! I can't believe I did that haha. I have corrected it and made sure that the URL does point to Onecase's Rebrickable MOC page just to be safe. Again, thanks for the help and for watching!
Love the ship. Love Star Wars. Although it not being LEGO. It’s just ridiculous all the companies that are LEGO clones.
U said: “unless u have a huge inventory of (LEGO) just buy the set.” The set is NOT lego sir! Lol U bought the set and still have the same amount of LEGO. Waste of money
Hello! Good points! What I was referring to was if a user bought the actual instructions that are on rebrickable (Monarch makes this non-lego set, but they are based off of the instructions made by a person (onecase). On Rebrickable, the site provides the full inventory of parts from LEGO that does go into the thousands of dollars if bought that way. Unless you have a large Lego inventory on hand (which I don't) then this Mould King kit is the best way to go by far. Most folks would not have the on hand Lego pieces (some are rare/pricey) so going the Mould King route is the best/only way to get some of these pieces easily and at a far better price. I did still pay for the Rebrickable instructions even thought I bought the Mould King set, just because I don't think the Lego Clones normally pay the actual designers of Rebrickable MOC instructions, so felt that they definitely deserved it for making such a major build. I wish I was wealthy enough to be able to afford all those Legos haha! Have you tried building this set yet? Thinking about doing it? Have a great day!
Lmao I got it for $200, which makes it 1.7 cents per piece 😂
