You'd be surprised the instructions including the parts list for the Emerald Night are freely available as PDF's, I suspect that's where they get them from to start with. Although to be fair the printed manual they give you is pretty good, not that far off a Lego original I'd say, if anything the only issue might be the contrast is a bit higher which makes it sometimes difficult to tell some of the colours apart. But otherwise the bricks are fine and the kits superb.

I've just finished the build on the Emerald Night and it went together perfectly and out of 1100+ bricks there was only one missing. If there is a downside its that the parts are not packed in numbered bags like Lego usually is (although the Dr Who set I recently got from the Lego Ideas range just had all the bricks in two bags as well) so at the beginning of the build its all a bit slow as you find some bricks in one bag, others in another etc... and you spend quite a bit of time hunting for a particular brick. But of course the further you get into the build the easier it gets. Regardless for the money I've saved I'm happy even if it did take me say an hour longer to build - and of course I got one brick to hunt... Smile

one cost $299 USD the other(s) $125usd
You can definitely tell the differences through fitness.
sometimes they are tight or lose. But overall I would buy again, specially those large scale Star Wars Destroyers for a fraction of a cost.

I would guess it's the green porsche that is made by Lepin also, but I'm not sure, just looking at a picture its pretty difficult to tell, you'd probably have to handle them to be sure...
