Poor quality?? Just bought this....was anyone else a little surprised and disappointed by the quality of the bricks? Designs seemed right on but I though the bricks seemed a little lighter and less dense...sort of translucent for lack of a better word. Similar to the way people have commented that the minifigures series have seemed less solid that the minifigs that come with sets. Poor quality??

Wonder if they were the bricks made from China then. There's a forum on Brickset.com that tries to point out the differences between the bricks manufactured in China vs. the ones in Denmark or elsehwere. Would be a little disappointed too if the minifig is manufactured in China too (the Collectible figures are).

I bought this set for myself (age 40), but my daughter (age 4) found it and laid claim to it. The beach house has held up very well. I wouldn't consider the legos bricks any less quality than I have played with in last 40(ish) years.

I would wrap the box personally...it comes just as shown. This LEGO set is AWESOME though, very realistic to the Harry Potter series. My son, who was 6 at the time he was given it, had help from his older sister who was 9 at the time and myself to put it together, but it's incredible. I highly recommend it.

fakes are usually given away by low finish quality... the one I got seemed perfectly fine, can't really say much beyond that. If you want verified authentic new figures the best places to buy are going to be from a direct importer, eg amazon japan, playasia or Tokyo otaku mode.

I don't know how representative the piece I bought was, but mine came with dents and chips in it. I had to return the one I purchased because it was too dinged up to be used. I don't know if the surface itself is prone to chipping, but of course when the metal underneath is seriously dented, the surface coating will fall off! I recall years ago my parents had something that looked much the same, and it was tough & durable, so I was surprised by what I got. Hopefully mine was just a "one off" experience, but the thin and weak metal made me think that other people will also have bad luck.

No I ended up with what looked like Lego figures I ended up finding the 5" figures on eBay. I brought this to the attention of Amazon hope they are not what I ordered and sent back. The product us not a true representation.

NOTE!! I used these to make crayons, and at first they came out fine, but then I left one batch in the oven a little longer by mistake. A few of the minifig molds came apart when I popped the crayons out, and then after making a couple more batches with the ones that were still intact, all of them ripped apart. If you make crayons, I would recommend melting them in the oven in a separate container (I saw a tin can as a suggestion) and then pouring the melted wax into the molds to cool. This should preserve your mold. I was pretty bummed that my mold was ruined before I finished making everything I needed for my son's birthday party. :-( NOTE!!

As far as I know this is a restock of this figure by DC Collectibles, according to the last news this new shipping of figures was carefully checked, but some problems with articulations remained. I keep my figures in the box, so Im not very aware of this problem. What I recommend you, is to talk to costumer service via chat, and explain them the problems with this figure, maybe they can send someone to pick up the best version of the figure in the warehouse.

I am wondering if the set you bought is made by Mattel. Anything Mattel is always a good product. The cards I have are of the same quality as Hoyle cards, they are a little hard to shuffle being new but will eventually be okay. We've played games with ours and enjoy them and find no problem with them.

I'm not selling one. I bought two off Amazon. Both were version 2, the first arrived broken, and the replacement broke after one transformation. I was hoping version 2 would be better than the version one I had, that also broke, but it's just as overly fragile. Both versions of the figure rely on small thin, and weak hinges. I really would recommend not buying the figure, I wanted to love Masterpiece Rodimus, but this mold is just too flawed. I'm hoping Takara/Hasbro produces a new MP Rodimus mold sometime in the future.

Yes, This was my first figma, so I did not know the quality. I also wanted to know why this was $50 and the fakes on ebay are around $20. I ordered a fake one from ebay, and this one, and knowing nothing else prior about figmas, it was plainly obvious it was real even from the box, whereas with the fake, the boxes are very cheep, and when I ordered the fake its head fell off as I took it out of the box. With this figure it is still in the same pose that I left it in months ago, and thats even after using the figure in stop motions and things that usually wear down the joints and make them loose.

My son just turned 2. He liked the Megablocks when he was 1 (mainly banging) but as of 6 months ago he graduated to Duplos and wants nothing to do with the Megablocks. For me it's just my son's preference. I do agree with all other posts that they are better quality and they stay together much better.

Elise,I am sorry I do not quite understand your question. Were you asking "how big are the Lite Brix people?" If his is the case then I would have to say that I do not know. Neither of the sets that I have purchased have people or what you think may be akin to LEGO's MiniFigs. I hope this helps with your question.Just a note, if you are contemplating buying a set, I cannot recommend them ... they are very poor quality compared to LEGOs. If you still want to pursue purchasing them though, Toys'R Us generally has the sets on sale for as much as 40% off. I do not think that they are big sellers due to the quality and word spreads fast.Hope this answers your question and a little bit more. Elise,I am sorry I do not quite understand your question.

Not sure if they are like original lego bricks, it's just a box full of basic lego bricks. They come in several sizes and colors. I liked them because it allowed my boys to use their imaginations ama build whatever they wanted. Hope that helps.

people buy them up in store and sell them to make a profit which is why we don't have them yet. There is an abundance for sale all over the internet, just not for the actual price. It was already a little more than the others in the animator collections so I decided we will wait until the fuss dies down to get ours. No way will I pay 3x the price. The lady I spoke to at the disney store said you have to get there fast after a shipment or else they are gone. :(
