Posted: 16:03 - 28 May 2019 Post subject: Chinese retail sites? |
|
|
OK which is the best Chinese direct retail (pirate stuff) site?
Ali Express, Wish or whatever other I haven't heard about?
I'm trying to buy some Lego stuff for one of may grand kids but the legit stuff is silly silly money, hundreds of quid for the sets he wants.
I know China does knock offs but I've also heard of people paying money and getting nothing or utter crap arriving 6 months later.
So any suggestions (and don't be a tight sod and buy the real stuff doesn't wash with me for plastic bricks ) ____________________ Triumph Trophy Launch Edition |

Knock off Lego is cheap and nasty, therefore you should stop being a cheapskate. |

Take it from me, the trick is to marry someone who can earn FAR more than you can and doesn't want kids. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha

I use Taobao a lot to buy good priced stuff. Being local to China I get ordered items within 4 days, but I have never been let down. Might be worth a look it it helps.

Hmm .
Unless very young the kids are smart, they will know and may be disappointed that it is not the real thing. Having bought a lot of lego kits my go to place is ebay for second hand stuff. Problem there is if they are old discontinued sets (eg Star Wars) then they can cost MORE than when new.. but I guess at least it's an investment.
You can also try the trading sites BrickLink and BrickSet.. ____________________ Now: A100, GT250A, XJ598, FZ750

Old Thread Alert!
