Hi Guys and Gals,
So we all know there are a bunch of companies out there on the Lego band-wagon, but one that caught my eye on a tv show the other day was a brand called 'Lepin' (I suppose they could have gone for Lega or something lol).
Anyway the main difference between Lepin and some of the other makers is that it seems Lepin don't really care that they are ripping off a Lego design and basically copy everything, box artwork and all only changing the Lego logo to Lepin.
But and here is the big question does anybody out there have any experience of Lepin bricks in terms of quality? In recent months I've been highly impressed with Ausini whose bricks are as close to Lego in quality as you'll get. However in the past I've had other sets by the likes of 'BlockTech' and others who were, well lets just say not as good as they could be.
So why my sudden interest? Well lets just say I've seen a Lepin set of a retired Lego set that I so want that I'm tempted to dive in even if the price of it is more than you usually pay for a 'clone' brick set

Happily collecting things all my life...
