- I bought a LEPIN Super Escort Hulkbuster 07101 from Aliexpress for $36.80. This is the knockoff/bootLEGO version of LEGO Superheroes 76105 The Hulkbuster Ultron Edition. I unbox, build, and review it.

The torso is backwards. Didn’t even notice. Probably my Lepin eyeglasses.
brickitect hi I love your channel I noticed the torso and thought I wonder how many people commented about this
I was about to say something about it until I saw your comment.
Lol
Please melt it or do a drop set :))
Don't feel bad. I did the same with mine and I have the lego version. The feet are not loose like yours are either. Great set for 36 dollars
'You wouldn't have the head stuck in the helmet on a real lego minifig'
I'm sorry, you are wrong.

I think he meant that it isn’t as difficult as lepin
Ya this man is crazy
I have over a thousand lego minifigs, and I have NEVER gotten a "head stuck in the helmet" of any of them. The heads don't get stuck, lego has too good quality control for that!

But only after months of not touching the figure

"Kids love no matter what it is. Kids love buildable stuff." True thing. I remember it when I was a kid, I NEVER got any lego sets cause they were very expensive. So I used to get those buckets of cheap generic buildable blocks and I still loved to play with it!
You missed out
Yeah it's true when I'm like 7-8 like that my mum used to buy me lepin and SY Lego bootlegs cuz it was too expensive and my mum can't afford it
Now I'm 13 I know what quality is •́ ‿ ,•̀
I remember my cousin had "Chinese Lego" (probably Japanese, we just knew it had unreadable writing on it) mixed in with his real stuff. I innocently used a part of that for something I was making and got shrieked at for it, because normal lego would get jammed on it.
I A L W A Y S had LEGO none of that bootleg crap
Broke ass
I’m gonna be 100% honest, this looks really well for a knockoff
Yea I've bought the Lepin version of some large expensive Ninjago sets and they came out great, especially the temple of airjitzu
Yeaaaa the issue with these knock-off brands is rarely their LOOK - it's more often the quality of the parts themselves. The tolerances and quality of the plastic are not as good, so you get a lot more bent plates, more loose-fitting connections between parts, etc. Lego spends a lot of R&D money on making sure all their parts are made to fit together really well with just the right amount of clutch power to hold a model together, where as the knock-off brands will often be way too loose to keep connected OR so tight they're difficult to snap together and then nearly impossible to take back apart.
I have 2 one because I wanted an AT-AT and the 2014 one was stupidity expensive and the other was the ewok village they both hold together alright not as good as Lego but not awful. I wouldn't recommend to buy one though
@@carellicollectables nothing a little superglue will not fix. Not like you want the knock-off parts mixed in with the regular lego any way. =)
I have the star Wars EP 7 millenium falcon in Lepin.
The printing is not too good, but the bricks are actually the same plastic as a real LEGO.
It is a cool set and isn't overpriced
I am an old woman on a fixed income. I love putting these together and paying $40 vs $120 is great for me! This isn’t the sort of thing I like to build… more into the really colorful ones and just ordered Baby Groot for my bday. Thanks so much for taking a chance on this for us more financially challenged folks!
GREAT !!!!😃😃😃
“You wouldn’t have the head stuck in the helmet on a real lego minifig”
I have an entire collection of clone and stormtrooper helmets that would gladly beg to differ
You sure those were lego?
Paulo Ravena
They have the lego logo so uh yeah
If that happens push the torso forwards then pull of the helmet it will take of the helmet :D
Just press it to a side while pressing it upwards, is not that hard come on
It's the opposite for me, my sith troopers helmets never stay on they always fall off

I think my favourite part of this video is seeing you play with your son
Hes a lucky guy
Lepin seems pretty decent compared to some other knockoffs. I've had a bunch of Sluban sets once and they were so terrible. Building them was more frustrating than actually enjoying. By the time I tried building a set that had THE BASE PLATE missing, well, I decided to cleanse my entire LEGO collection of every knockoff brick and banish them to a box and donated them to my nephew lol
I just bought a gi joe set licensed by hasbro and it litterally falls apart when you touch it hell it fallsapart just sitting there and it takes a hammer to get it together ive banished it to under my shelf
Bro, what universe you live in? Have you even seen NEW sets of sluban?
i have the real lego version of this set and, well that and mine are the exact same pretty much even the loose legs
and yes
it is official lego
Wow so its almost the same as lepin? Thx for the information, mate.
@@handokolie1292 hmm it is OBVIOUSLY NOT the same since the lepin wouldnt have any LEGS!!! if he didnt use his LEGO to build them with=buy the lepin and your figure will have no LEGS....lol

I was about to change vids, then I saw how much your son loved it. We sometimes forget these are toys for children! No matter how cheap or sketchy they are, they will have a great time playing with them.
Hey. So I wanted to come back to this video, since I saw it some time ago. Due to the prohibitive price of the Town Hall modular on the secondary market, I very warily decided to try to purchase the Lepin version. And I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised. No missing pieces and, once I linked it with the rest of my modular sets, it’s hard to tell the difference. The build is sturdy and fits perfectly. The one noticeable difference is in the mini figs, but that’s minor. At some point, I may purchase one of their original modulars and see how that goes. Just thought I would share. My experience was clearly much better than yours. Cheers.
The iron man minifigure torso is backwards....

Plot twist
You’ve been buying Lepin sets this whole time
I have been there
@@kevinplayscello_ this actually happens with legitimate sets because this has happened with some sets I bought from target and the lego store
Yup same
Over the last 6 months I have bought several fake lego sets and I have to say the quality is improving. On some sets the fit of the blocks is not perfect like you mention but the Xingboa sets seem to be better. And fortunately never had missing pieces. Each set so far actually contained a lot of spare blocks.
The end with your son was so wholesome. Brings me back to lego building with my dad!

I can confirm, the full helmet pieces in lego set do sometimes get stuck on the head
Custom minifigures from China are surprisingly good in quality and detail. The sets are kind of something I can do without. Just focus on the customs.
Im not sure what u guys think about this, but i come from a developing country and well, these lepin set are actually quite common, since a “real” lego set is just too much money for us
I have played with these my entire childhood and well, they are not so bad actually, at least they are affordable for us
I can 1000% guarante the delivery lady did not take notice or care about the package
Depending on the seller, you can actually tell em that it’s missing a piece
Yes, if any pieces got missed, the seller will ship to you free, if you live in China.
not worth the waiting if you are in the US
I totally disagree Lepin aren't that bad at all, most of the time are perfect with 1/3 of the cost ,compared to the overpriced Lego blocks. Lego are Lego of course but Lepin are quite good
"You wouldn't have that with a normal Lego minifigure, I don't think..." Lego: *nervous sweating*
Is it just me or does it sound like he says “mini finger “ whenever he tries to say “mini figure”

8:21 the fricking reactor is on the back !!! 😂
Usually if you contact the AliExpress seller and explain to them the issue you had with those 3 pcs being incorrect, they'll refund you or exchange the product no hassle.
I Bought the Lepin UCS Star Destroyer a couple years ago. (I don't have friends you see, so I dont have to be embarrassed about having lepin on display)
Only issues were that the magnets were a bit too powerful, and a few of the technic pin connectors were a bit loose. Also the two spherical radar domes on the bridge were a different piece than what lego used, and I had to buy a lego Data sheet sticker cause the lepin one said "Star Plan" instead of "Star Wars".
The vast majority of the bricks, plates, and technic pieces were near indistinguishable from their original Lego counterparts, and the ship looked awesome once built. I've since bought the New UCS Lepin Millennium Falcon, and it is amazing. Also cost like a fifth of the price of the Official one...
How much were both of them?
@@reedster1006About $540 AUD ($372 USD) for the pair of them (including free EMS shipping to Australia which takes less than 2 weeks usually. The price fluctuates a bit depending on seller and whether you get an "original" knock off box with them or not.
I downloaded the "Aliexpress" app, and typed "Lego Star Wars UCS" and heaps of listings popped up. Buying process was smoother than amazon, and lots of sellers have plenty of reviews with actual photos from customers...
@@reedster1006 In Germany the Lepin/MouldKing Version of the Executer Class Dreadnought is about 200 Euros, the Original one is way beyond 1.000 Euros (think even 1.500 or so)
It's lepin oh, so not that impressive
@@rajivmalhotra6227 your point is irrelevant in regards to my comment. I dont have friends coming over, so I care not whether they (or you for that matter) are impressed by my majestic lepin sets...
While I would still pay for legit Lego, it has upset me before. When I bought the Creator green mini cooper it came with half of the parts and that half was multiplied by two. I ordered proper pieces and they came for free, which is nice. However, almost a year had passed and as you might imagine, I wasn't so hyped about the set anymore. On the bright side, I got a couple hundred free Lego pieces that I didn't need to use in the set.
3:19 That's bag number g
to be 100% honest, i think it'd be amazing to see just a raw video of you building the thing and remarking, or not remarking, on what you think, would be relaxing
No folded manual!?! Lepin is now better than LEGO!
Jk no
Lol
wow lol
what? I don't recall ever getting folded manuals
What I think he means is that many LEGO manuals have a U shaped fold in the middle of them due to the fact that they are packed poorly in the box. It's super frustrating and almost all of my many, many LEGO manuals have this fold.
Yeeaahh
I love how when you go to the online page and browse for the sets, almost all of them are 5 stars...
my only beef with these is that the print sometimes is a little off on minifigs and that you very rarely run into heat-damaged pieces but they are pretty indistinguishable from real sets - I mix and match a lot between different brands and I never really run into big tolerance problems
I buy a lot of knock off Lego sets because I'm broke and I live in a country plauged by knock offs and every problem is mentioned in the video except for the Minifigure arms they start really tight And hard to peg in but if you move them really often they start loosening up and really easy to remove
thats uhhh something that real legos also do lol
So excited to see Super Escort Endgame and Star Plans The Rise Of Skyalker they are going to be awsome movies
Just wait for the Lepin NBA set. Houston Rockets not included.
Actually, I can’t wait for Star Wart the rise of skywalk we. Or was it Star Wnrs?
You forgot joystick lag from lepin dc
OMGOODNESS! The Clarkman is adorable!!
To be fair I get most of these issues with lego sets every once in a while, heads stuck in helmets for example. It's rarer perhaps but it's not really super rare to get the wrong part, or missing parts, or parts with the wrong tolerance. I don't have this exact set, and the quality of lego is definitely generally better, as although these problems happen they don't happen as much, but the gap isn't as huge as most people think imo.
Your son’s reaction first time seeing it was priceless! My son has the same look everytime I show him a new toy for the very first time.
Show him a Lego™️ set or bring him to your Local Lego Store. If you don't live near one (more than 5 hour drive) then order from Lego directly. Buy a few sets and build them up. Better quality than Lepin and you don't buy fakes like Lepin is.
Buy Lego
Don't buy Lepin
Also, don't buy lego from Wish or AliExpress
7:06 I'm pretty sure the sticky is still there attached to the cutout. You just need to seperate it with your fingernail or an exacto-blade. The die cutter pressed too deeply into the non-sticky part of the sheet so it came off with the decal.
Clarkman sees the good in everything. Despite being a bootleg he still appreciates the lepinbuster. That's adorable.
Unfortunately, Lego did all the work to make this set enjoyable, and lepin rips them off and steals all the credit :c
@@ymirs4400 I don't think anybody thinks Lepin made this set....
It held together pretty well - survived the child test - with a few pieces dropping out - Lepin Quality Control at its finest. But hey it's 36 bucks!
where u find it, cuz i wanna get it lol?
Not going to lie, I kind of want a clear head piece for a minifigure.
There is one included in Lego 75886 as part of the trophy. Or you just buy a single one on BrickLink.
In the Lego Avengers Hall of Armors set, there’s I think 3 in it? And it comes with 4 iron man minifigs.
Also 75827 Ghostbusters fire house has a 2 or 3 clear ones and a trans blue one
The head of Lego figure always gets stuck in a helmet for me :P
“Dear friend, have in stock now!” That’s when you know it’s gonna be bad 🤣
Watching the little one play with this was totally worth it, "It's great!"
$84 dollar difference? Saving that much who gives a crap if the light is cloudy and you don't like that the bricks have a different look on one stud?
Do you know how easily Lepin breaks? Search up destroying lepin on CZcams.
gold coloured plastic is notorious for shattering, so with an iron man you're just counting the days before it turns to shards. LEGO is pretty good with this but a cheap knockoff has no chance
A stolen car is cheaper by $ 40,000. Are you a thief? Lepin is a law breaking company.
Durzy no they aren’t, Chinese law allows it iirc. You aren’t technically a thief for buying it.
I’d honestly pay more if it were higher quality and I knew it’d last longer
I remember building a Lego JCB years ago and it was missing a single flat yellow 2 piece of of the whole build. Fortunately, I sourced one from another bit of Lego. So Lego is not immune from missing parts, but a lot more reliable than Lepin!
I'd like to see the Lego version of the Hulk buster as a side by side comparison
@brickitect: "He's junk" @clarkman: "He's not junk" and "I love this guy". Your kid is awesome.
"Lego head stuck in helmet"
Me: "that happens to me since im literally a child....and it is remains the same"
Wait... did Lepin... beat Lego... the manual isn’t folded
Ucs manuals always have cartboard behind them
Lepin puts double the steps on one page making the manual half Lego size.
yup
Dun! Dun! Dun!
WATCHING THE WATCHERS yeah but by folding the manuel lego is doubling the size that’s already doubled compared to lenin when they fold it
I use an X-Acto knife to apply stickers. By keeping a little of the sticker along the edge of the blade, it lets you position (and reposition) the sticker until it's right, then you can press it down and there are no fingerprints.

if i'm completely honnest, I've been building legos for the last 15 years, mostly lego star wars, 2 years ago i got my first Lepin Set which was the millenium falcon from TFA (75105), yes the pieces do not fit as well as the lego ones do, but dude I paid 35 euros for a set worth 169 ! honnestly for the price I was more than convinced, it's the price I paid for the official Lego Yoda Huth (75208) ! So don't take my words wrong i'm still prefering real Legos and I only have 2 Lepin sets as now, but considering how lego prices (especially star wars sets) are becomming absurdly expensive if you compare to 10 years ago, i'm definitely having other Lepin sets.
15 years, and still says LEGOS
Congrats on 17th+ years
All Lego & Lego clones have those marks on some of the studs. These areas are the 'gate' where the plastic is injected through a 'hot runner' feed system. If you look carefully at the Lego part you will also see gate marks, they're just cleaner. Injection moulding ABS is not as simple as it might seem, it requires knowledge & skill to design the mould cavity, plate & ejector system properly as well as very detailed control over the feed system, temperature, cooling etc.. Lego has perfected the process. Some clone parts will also put their logo on the studs and/or have better looking gate marks. Most clone parts don't put the logo on the stud and have a more conservative design by the gate (hence the more visible cavity) because it's more forgiving and everything won't have to be perfect.
Say whatever you want, but Lepin and other ko brands go to show that Lego set can be cheaper.
Even facturing in IP licenses and R&D, Lego prices should not be as outrageous as they are now.
agreed
The real kick in the nuts is when Lego move(d)/(s) manufacturing to China but prices don't go down yet you know the cost of manufacturing plummeted which translates to more profit for the company.
I agree but you are paying extra for the quality control, but they could be a lot cheaper
@@oceanlikethewaves oh absolutely you are paying extra for quality control, and I happily do/will pay for that as long as it's still being manufactured i.e. not 3rd party sellers trying to turn toys into an investment (that's a rant for another day).
But my point is moving factories from Denmark to China is definitely a cost savings move, and that will most assuredly be a MAJOR cost savings move. Just looking at their statistics from 2018, sales grew 3 percent, while profits grew 4 percent from 2017. Now I'm not saying they're not allowed to make money, but it does hint at their operating costs being lower but instead of that helping out consumers it simply lines the pockets of investors (real ones, not ones that buy all the sets in a store of a big kit).
@@Mike__B I completely agree, and thank you for backing facts with statistics
3:35 yes t-pose hulkbuster, t-pose
Real Lego tolerances aren't that great either. The heads do indeed get stuck inside the helmets, many hinges and snap-on folding pieces are also loose on Lego sets, and the fact that you got your fingerprints on the glue part of a clear sticker is not a Lepin issue. You got over 90% of Lego quality for under a third of the price.
Gonna be honest - for $36 bucks, what more do you want? It's less than taking a family to McDonalds. Very nice fig.

You actrually have the minifig chest piece backwards in this video. The Lepin set may call that a Mk.43m, but i'm pretty sure that for LEGO it is actually the alternative Mark 42 that only comes with the Hulkbuster set.

I think I may have a Lepin set. The worst part is that they are mixed in with my real legos, so I have to individually dig out and remove every brick of Lepin.
MandR walks in and sets it on fire.
so true
to be fair, 3 pieces that are wrong or missing for a kit that is about 25% the cost of the Lego brand...is not that bad. I was wondering, if it's just an illusion from the video, but are the walls of the pieces thinner than Legos ?
Wait, Lego "separator handles" are orange now ? when I was young they were dark/medium grey x)

16:02 endgame spoiler :v
Of course your son liked it, i would have also when i was that age as it doesnt matter the namebrand as a kid, it just matters that its fun , neat and cool.
With that set, it can be a engineering teaching experience.
As when i was a kid i would find the flaws in a lego design and redesign it where needed and make it better and give something movement where it was solid, or make something look nicer or figure out how to make something more stable and secure by dismantling partly and experiment with different changes and utilize pieces in different ways than usual. There wasnt a lot of unique pieces until the Space command series came out and the other fantasy themed sets.
I wouldve loved to have a lot of these newer Marvel playsets and StarWars and Jurassic Park and Medieval knights sets back when i was a kid,but they didnt have that sort of licensing way back then.
They just had the Space Command sets as the big novel new thing and i think they were doing the pirates and Medieval times sets into the 80s. I cant recall exactly.
It really does matter you idiot I loved Lego as a kid and never wanted to be anywhere near any Lepin !
LEGO version legs are also a little wobbly at the ankles, but not so badly that you can't balance the model in the middle of the standing range.
