Hey guys,
as a long-time lego fan and collector, I'm looking to giving leptin a try (especially for MOCs or discontinued sets).
What can you recommend as an impressive display model that is fun to build and looks impressive? The falcon is out of the question since lego is going to rerelease that one soon and I'm going to buy that.
I've been thinking about the Venator but heard it's building is not the best? :/

Meanwhile, I'll walk about five minutes from my apartment and find a toy shop that's 80% Lego clones, all for about 30% of Lego prices. (In South Korea, the average set is at least a third more than the US, and even double is not uncommon. People can't get enough of Lego clones and couldn't care less about what some foreign company thinks about IP rights.)

They can chase IP rights all they want (and they should), but that just isn't the culture over here. People simply don't get that unique creations belong uniquely to the creator. From a Western perspective -- boo, hiss, thumbs down, yeah. But in East Asia, it's clone or be cloned. China's not going to do diddly as long as Chinese companies are making bank and officials are getting their "donations." And even if they did, it's just not hard-wired into the culture to think that copying is bad.

Arguably that's no different here in Europe. In the end LEGO live by their mythical reputation here in Europe and having walled themselves in nicely by building a monopoly. If competing companies like Oxford, Mega, Cobi and so on actually weren't as complacent (or had the huge production and marketing capacities required for that matter) we'd sure be talking differently. I'd sure love to see someone give LEGO some heat, if only to knock them back into reality...

In all fairness, this sounds more like a pricing issue within whatever country you happen to be in. More to do with the government not LEGO. Here in the US that set is $19.99, which anyone that regularly buys lego knows, is a joke. By simply waiting a couple weeks it will be on sale, or shop around, or price match, it will be $15.99. Which is the price I got it for, a little more reasonable for sure than your example of $34.

The product itself is amazing. I haven't even gotten threw the first box and I know I'm going to have a lot of fun with it. My only issue is that Amazon did a piss poor job at packing the box, came in a box much larger than the Lego and only has a price of paper to "protect" it, the box was beaten up pretty good.
