Another chinese “Lego” compatible brand, but it doesn’t produce copy Lego sets, they have thier own themes going on – and the biggest theme they own is – military. They offer a lot of different sets with military note, such as tanks, war helicopter, soldiers, fire arms and the list goes on. I saw couple of their sets, and I must say that the are doing excellent job with aesthetic designs with their military sets.
For the review I will give an example of the Lepin 20053 set. The model is extremely interesting because of its availability (one of the cheapest sets) and the abundance of electronics. This is a copy of the model from Madoka – MOC-6604 Hatchback Type R, one of the most talented LEGO-designers, and there is not a drop of exaggeration. As stated above, Lepin stole his model (and not one), and released it in the form of his own sets. I note that Madoka always places on the network free instructions on their models and a list of all the necessary parts for assembly. By the way, I advise everyone to collect at least one of the creations of Madoca1977 – it’s worth it!
Also, the choice for this model fell due to the lack of reviews and objective reviews. All reviews on aliexpress (where they sell this junk) are positive. No wonder – the sellers are ready to appease you as you please for a good review, so as not to lose the reputation of the store.
The first. Perhaps the main reason for the popularity of Lepin, which has already been mentioned – the price. The model cost $ 35 with delivery! The cost of a similar model from Lego is about $ 200-250, since it will be necessary to re-buy separately parts and electronics. Second. The model we bought. And now shipping. Delivery took exactly … 54 days from the date of payment for the order on AliExpress. In general, it is not enough to wait. If you plan to buy such a set as a gift, then this is clearly not an option, you need to order with a huge stock of time.
How many reviews I read that “the quality is almost the same as that of Lego,” “for their money, excellent sets.” Even this prompted me to buy Lepine out of curiosity, since everything in the picture really looks very good. But my verdict is this – the people who wrote it apparently LEGO saw only in the pictures. The quality of materials leaves much to be desired. If the molds of parts, probably stolen from Lego, allow us to do more or less accurate molding of parts (and not all), then the material itself is of poor quality. Even by touch plastic is completely different. If you ever held the original Lego in your hands, then I guarantee you, even with your eyes closed, you distinguish LEGO from Lepin.
The panels are similar to Lego, but some are too matte (in the photo), others are glossy and were slightly scratched, even being new (clearly seen on the assembled model). Also 1 panel was curve and curved at the end. Curved panels (orange and purple) are most similar to Lego in quality and color, there are no problems with the connection.
Gears. Same as LEGO in appearance. But plastic is more fragile, worse is the accuracy and quality of the casting. The gear wheel on 12 teeth broke with a servomotor after 5 turns, breaking one link. The gears from which the gearbox with the differential is assembled remained intact, since the load is less there, but there is a development on them, and the plastic began to wear out.
Bought this set for my 9-year-old and he had a blast with it. Being one of the most challenging sets he's had, it took him a while and kept him occupied. This was actually the first set he enjoyed building so much he had torn it apart and built it a second time. It turned out great and is a very nice piece once it's complete.
If you want to know more details I would definitely recommend checking it out Lepin
