I have to say that Lepin triggered many Lego fans' evil mind deep inside. Most Lego fans treasure the nicely designed Lego and they love the designers inside Lego company. However, Lego is getting more and more expensive recently. I can say some of the sets are over-priced. On the other hand, I know it is not an excuse to support the knock-off brands and bootleg Lego sets. But... I fall into the dark side because of the limited availably of Iron Man suits minifigures and the attractive retired UCS sets. Moreover, the curiosity also brings me to their world. Why so many people said Lepin has very good quality? As my previous post mentioned, I bought one Lepin made First Order Transporter as 1 of 3 sets that I got for building 2 MOC Transporters. The bricks were pretty bad and I regret that too. But somehow, I saw Lepin had Creator series' Café Corner (2007 Retired Lego building). Other than a missing 1x2, two wrong 2x4 brown bricks instead of two 2x3 and a half broken window frame, everything was very nice. The feel and sizes improved a lot. Then, I decided to see if other sets were ok. Ghostbusters Fire House was my second big set of Lepin copy. It came in a big bag from DHL. The DHL people did the same thing again... The delivery guy signed by himself and left the huge package at my door steps without even press the door bell. No one knew about the delivery until I checked my front door at night. I thought DHL just let them do this. What a bad managed company!
The instruction was pretty thick and heavy. Same as the previous sets, they didn't have the numbered bags like what Lego had. Some people sorted them in colors. It would consume a lot of time and I would never suggest this way. The best way to save time is keeping them in the original bags but sorting them in a logical way. See the photo below...
I find this way is the fastest and easiest for how my mind works. It may not work for all people, I have to say.
