There was someone that posted he had created a customized JSA set. It was very well done.

My son says WW isn't custom. He has one (tsk)

 

If you go back and read the thread, the guy states wonder woman is a regular issue. Some of the figures are put together from parts, others are full custom.

Spectre is made from regular parts and Sandman (with the exception of the head) was also pieced together.

 

When buying customs though there is a difference between machine pressed and water slide decals. You want machine pressed. The detail is cleaner and more durable. The Stan Lee fig I pictured before was machine printed (as an example)

I know people like to say they live in a great city etc, but to me, no other city in the USA compares to NYC

 

I love that place

A Lego fanatic at work has purchased knockoff figures from Korea. He said they are so well done, you would have a hard time telling the difference on the better prepared figures.

 

They must be using machine-pressed decals.

I picked this up last night from a friend of mine.

This was a Lego employee exclusive which is a pretty nice snag as well, considering what they go for on the second hand market. Either way, their 2014 employee set has an interesting back story as it was crafted by a suggestion submitted by a regular customer which will be turned into a set itself later this year, Lego 21301: Birds, which is available January 1st, the same day as the Slave I.

Yes, some of them are incredibly well done. The thing I would be VERY careful of, and please pass this along, is some of the materials coming out of China. I would not trust some of the knock off figures with small kids that may put things in their mouths or kids who bite bricks apart. I ordered one of the figure packs over the summer just to check them out. The bricks coming out of China had a greasy feel to them, That screams trouble to me.

 

Also if you buy a minifigure second hand and want to make sure that they are authentic Lego look for the following:

 

Where to find the Lego corporate mark on a Mini figure:

Legs: Lego mark is on the inside left leg by the toes as well as in between the studs that lead to the torso

 

Torso: On the top of the neck / stud / peg that connects to the head as well as inside the torso under where the left shoulder would be. You have to pull off the arm to see it.

 

Head: Turn the head upside down and you will see it inside of the head at the top as well as the exterior of the head on the reverse

 

Hair / Hat / Helmet / Headgear - Interior of the piece.

Lego should make this customized creation a super-sized kit.

 

Halo: Pillar Of Autumn Recreated Using Over $7000 Worth Of Legos

 

----------------

The ship is over six feet long and weighs more than 200 pounds, Moc Pages reports. By the time he finished the project, the ambitious undertaking cost Jones over $7,000.

 

“3.5 years to completion, 2.15m long, 100kg, and about $7k in Lego,” Jones said. “Thanks for looking.”

----------------

Winter Soldier polybag is on its way. This will be the first time that the Winter Soldier is offered as a minifig. He will have a double printed head.
