@@tld8102 yes the shipping boxes were pretty poor quality and did not look great. But surprisingly there was minimal damage to the sets. Maybe just got lucky!
@TheBrickQuest you do realize the euphemism "fallen off a truck" means bad guys involved right? And not an actual 'the product fell over and was damaged' TEMU probably works in factory 'seconds' made in factory, but something off like the blue is blue#2 not blue#4 in printing.

Hi, just a quick advice. You can just scan the code on the building instruction booklet to gain points with Lego loyalty program to know if it's original or fake without wondering a lot. Enjoy the new sets :)
Hey I got the giant LEGO Bowser on sale from Target and for some reason the manual isn’t scanning. But all the parts have the LEGO stamps on them and everything else with the box and manuals seem legit. Does that invalid code mean the sets fake?
They actually realised everywhere but the Americas, also the missing part numbers is just how the set packages look everywhere else, just to let you know, it isn't weird
@@TheBrickQuest yep, the Yellow Mobile Construction Crane and Seaside Harbor with Cargo Ship are already released in Europe (and probably Asia too) since June/July 2024. Only in America that we get them in August. If you don't have the piece number and set number on the box (just the age) = European version
To be honest, I have worked in production faciliites, and it appears these are probably items that were damaged on the production line at some point. Most likely they are set aside so that they can be reboxed or repackeged. This is where they most likely are "removed" from the warehouse. Usually, you try not to send anything less than perfect to the stores.
@@Niewiem6301 True, but here in America, people won't purchase a damaged box unless they get a discount on it. It is a bit stupid, but it is the way a lot of people are. If the boxes were slated for certain markets they might not care about the damage, but for others it is an issue.
The "unreleased sets" due for 1 August 2024 US release were already released worldwide on 1 June 2024. Moreover, those "savings" which you had presumably saved were actually normal prices which you would have gotten from the major online retailers. In the end, there was no "real" savings at all. I would rather not trade reputability and after sales service when it comes to expensive items.
@@kubbilykub so the two city sets don’t come out here in the US until August 1st unfortunately. They may have been released in other places around the world though. But I definitely agree. Reputability and after sales service is big!
Exactly and the harbor set looks exactly like it does here in Europe with the paper bags and so on (sometimes you still get plastic). And I love the new two part boxes, finally back to something that feels to be reusable.
Fake lego are not allowed using the LEGO logo in trademark even in China, usually the fake one will be use another name on the packaging and maket, and by the way i just check the 60409 on chinese online market, the price is 560 RMB which is around 77 USD, i think that is why TEMU got the range can offer the better discount.
The unreleased sets with paper bags could very well be European sets. They release at different times in different markets and, although I sadly haven't gotten any LEGO in almost a decade, the EU laws on single-use plastics could definitely be a reason for the paper bags. Even rice and sugar are now in paper packaging, and the plastic ones have a tax on them.
If the manuals have the qr codes what happens if you register them before release? Do Lego know where they send each code? I saw big box store workers on Reddit saying that they have some sets in their storerooms months early…
Honestly I would rather find the knockoff versions of all of these. Identical build and identical quality, but usually like a quarter of the price. Most of my collection is off brands, which I'm perfectly happy with.
I expected to see some really unreleased sets from Lego, as fantastic as it might sound, like Indiana Jones 77014. That would be a surprise, but in any case, I'm glad, this buy was quite successful and brought joy of joys :)
As someone mentioned, they either fell off the lorry, or are supposed to be held back due to damaged packaging and are instead re-sold. All the boxes seem to be damaged slightly, which could be shipping or my other hypothesis.
Yeah, it’s actually pretty cool. Lego is an actual branded trademark seller on Temu like when you click on their link, it will say authenticated by Lego and then gives you the hyperlink directly to Lego like it’s Lego selling on Temu.
I saw first hands on reviews on the harbor set three weeks ago and on the crane 12 days ago both in Germany. And the parts on the harbor set were also in paper bags.

Lots of these sets have been released in Australia, but don't seem to be in the rest of the world. I don't know why. We often get huge shipping delays so perhaps to try and mitigate that, Lego has released early. The ship yard was released in July for us.

@@kaihuang7282 it's cheap and a scam, and the majority of the time you don't get what you paid for, if at all. There's a huge list of negatives I can get into
@@TheBrickQuest The only difference between real lego and knock off lego is literally just the lego icon printed on the blocks they are both just plastic bricks from china at the end of the day.
Yes the color of the kislux is beautiful and it is a great decision, maybe one day they will add feet and straps. It would be nice to have a bigger bag during the colder months when we have to store gloves, beanies, scarves, etc…
as a chinese if u buy from temu from foreign remember to double check the lego logo as some fake compakes will mark simular brand names and might also write "the photo is only used as example not the actual product" , so take care and be careful when buying stuff from chinese , also remember to take photos of tape before opening the box to show u changed nothing in case u might have to refund
The TLG started by stealing the blueprints of a Kiddicraft plastic molding machine, then manipulating with patents, and the first Lego sets were complete copies of Kiddicraft sets, right down to the instructions. So, I wouldn't use the terms fake or not fake Lego. Some Chinese sets are far superior in quality and design to Lego sets and cost three times less.
I have bought many *building* toys from them. I have built a few of the huge cars 2000+ pieces. And then I just bought a 4400 piece titanic. The pieces are so small but amazing. Never bought the *lego* ones tho.
A little unknown fact about email as an original sign upper one of the first 10,000 you can submit a return claim for anything if you do not deem it good enough for you
i think these are smuggled from the factory,like that happens with transformers figures,theres 3 creators who get figures early (i wont name them but i do know them)
Paper bags vs plastic bags is that the machines that fill the bags are being replaced. Plastic bag == old machine. Paper bag == new machine. As old machines break replaced with new machine, not just fixed. Machines have a life expectancy/cost of maintennace. Worth to start replacing old "bagging machines"(plastic) with new "bagging machines"(paper)

@@TheBrickQuest It's because in Asian there's many competitors to Lego such as Oxford, Cada, Mould king, etc. Those companies cost way less than Lego so HAS to lower their prices in Asia to compete at all.
@@TheBrickQuest Well, of course I looked at it straight away because, to be honest, I have nothing against a bargain. But unfortunately I can't order anything
@@TheBrickQuest no we are in Germany. maybe it is an european Union law for reduction of plastic waste. And lego is a European company and have to follow that. I was also surprised because my youngest son start building some of the older sets with plastic bags and my oldest son start with his birthday presents. Was the first set that have this new bags.
@@TheBrickQuest LEGO is absolutely moving towards paper bags. I don't remember when they said, but we'll be seeing them more in the future. I bought the Van Gogh set recently and there was a small square printed insert in the box amongst the bags saying that they are moving to be more sustainable with their packaging and this box may contain a mix of plastic and paper bags. I got all plastic, but found the note card interesting. I'm in New York.
okay lemme explain, the reason those "unreleased" sets only have the set number and not piece count is because they're from the european market. Every other year lego switches who gets the sets first, this year europe got those sets a month before the us, thats how temu got hold of them.
Hello brick quest! after seeing your video I also purchased some Legos off of temu and one of them has a misprint on the box it's missing how many pieces come in the set is that worth of any value?

@@TheBrickQuest Well, of course I looked at it straight away because, to be honest, I have nothing against a bargain. But unfortunately I can't order anything
The August set is already available in Europe so it's possible for them to be real.
Ok cool! Thanks for the info
those sets came out in turkey before agust
Good to know! Thanks!
I’m in the UK and I have the harbour set as it was released here on June 1
Awesome! I wish the US was that lucky.
I’ve searched for Lego but not one set is showing?
It looks like the actual Lego sets are being sold in the US only.
The Mercedes is actually a junk set no one is buying. Here locally we had a promo going at 124€ plus the small one with it for free.
Nice! That’s a good deal. I havnt seen a discount on it yet here in the US but definitely one I wanted to grab.
Can't believe you guys don't have those sets until August 1st had them in Australia for ages
I’m not sure why we don’t but that’s great for you all!
Is it the boxes or is th8s man insane the way he opens Lego boxes
I hope I’m not insane. 😂 I think it was just the boxes. They are making them different now.
Paper bags seems a newer approach from lego. My son get a star wars set for his Birthday with the new paper bags for the bricks.
it was the 75372 set. that should be an older set in the Star Wars collection but lego use the paper bags.
Interesting. Are you located in the US or another country? Just curious as to where these paper bags are being rolled out?
@@TheBrickQuest no we are in Germany. maybe it is an european Union law for reduction of plastic waste. And lego is a European company and have to follow that. I was also surprised because my youngest son start building some of the older sets with plastic bags and my oldest son start with his birthday presents. Was the first set that have this new bags.
@@TheBrickQuest LEGO is absolutely moving towards paper bags. I don't remember when they said, but we'll be seeing them more in the future. I bought the Van Gogh set recently and there was a small square printed insert in the box amongst the bags saying that they are moving to be more sustainable with their packaging and this box may contain a mix of plastic and paper bags. I got all plastic, but found the note card interesting. I'm in New York.
they might be buying them in a deferent currency
True! Maybe that’s it.
Where are the sets can’t see them on temu site ???
I think they are only available in the US.
I saw the lego cargo port for sail in a lego store in copenhagen two weeks ago so it has been released here
Awesome! I’ll be in Copenhagen next month. I wish all of us got these sets early.
you know that all of these sets were ealised in june
Ok thanks! Ya it looks like a lot of places got them in June and July except us in the US.
The ship set came from over seas. Most of their sets don’t have all the information like ours
Got ya! That makes sense. Thanks
Damn... that is indeed cool.
Ya. I was surprised!
Another case of Americans thinking “if something ain’t released here yet then it ain’t released anywhere else”
I’m so used to all sets be released at the same time around the world I didn’t realize we were the only ones. My bad. 😂
I have seen paper bags in the US.
Ok cool! I havnt seen them yet. I’m sure they will be more prevalent soon.
okay lemme explain, the reason those "unreleased" sets only have the set number and not piece count is because they're from the european market.
Every other year lego switches who gets the sets first, this year europe got those sets a month before the us, thats how temu got hold of them.
That’s what I was thinking but thanks for confirming! Too bad we can’t get the same sets here in the US till months later.
@@TheBrickQuest yeah its kind of a stupid system. But next year y'all will probably get sets a month before us xD
I hope those are real Lego set
So far so good but I’ll definitely notify everyone if I find out different from my initial inspection.
I bought the Optimus Prime lego off temu and it's spot on the same as the Lego.
Awesome! Good find!
In asia they dont have counted numbers in lego set but they are real
Ok nice! Good to know.
i cant even find lego on the site :(
Weird. Which market do you live in?
My wife got the Titanic Lego set off Temu and it's Lego without the Lego logo, that's it.
Nice! The LEGO Titanic is a great set!
Hello brick quest! after seeing your video I also purchased some Legos off of temu and one of them has a misprint on the box it's missing how many pieces come in the set is that worth of any value?
I’m not sure if it is worth any extra value to be honest. What set was it and does it look real?
The reason why their is some paper bags is because Lego is trying to make their packaging more Environmental Friendly.
@@aidenayers2486 ok. Good to know. Thanks
Your welcomes.
Extra Toggle Lego
In Germany we only have paperbags for the bricks
Ok nice! I hadn’t seen them yet but I don’t see any issue with them.
i might give it a shot. But upon searching i dont even see any lego on temu
It’s worth at least looking into for sure! Just proceed with caution.
I was debating on getting the Cole titan mech on temu because it said it was sold directly from lego and was from a local warehouse
@@Gundamfan24k-wr4mv just make sure to check out with PayPal and screenshot all listings so you have proof to get money back if needed. If it actually does end up being fake. hopefully not.
I ended choosing a gundam model kit instead but I usually am very cautious when it comes to temu so far all of the items I've bought from temu haven't been scams (sry for my yapping probably wasting you time sry)
@@Gundamfan24k-wr4mv ok cool! No big deal. Glad you got something cool and it’s worked out so far.
I think the unreleased lego sets are imported from china where it is released ig
You could be right! Thanks
@@TheBrickQuestwhen are you going to build the mercedes f1 car I want to see it fully built
@@songlapdas hopefully soon! I’m work on a review on the McLaren P1, Lunar Rover and the Mos Eisley Cantina but I have it on my list. Thanks for letting me know that one interests you.
WHERE WHERE WHERE?!
TEMU.com is where I picked these up but proceed with caution as there is a lot of fake things on this site
yo is it only on theamerican temu cuz i dont have it here in bulgaria
Yes I think it is the US only!
I would never trust anything on Chinese marketplaces that claims to be LEGO, there is just too much risk of getting the fake stuff.
True. There is definitely a lot of risk. I thought for sure it was all going to be fake when I got it. I tried to cover my bases as much as possible though so I could get my money back if it did come fake.
most of these sets are being sold for these prices in europe on many legit platforms, its not that shocking tbh
Good to know! I wish we got these prices on the regular here in the US.
18+ sets like the Polaroid have piece counts in all markets
Good to know! Thanks
I saw those advertisements as well but assumed it was going to be knock off bricks since they sell lots of flego
I know what you mean. I thought for sure it was going to be knockoff Lego. But somehow it wasn’t. Building 2 of the sets now and it’s all real so far.
Ohh ooh Temu
😂
I know a website where I got 80% off all new sets, including unreleased and all new and factory sealed. Can't release my source though 😂
Wow! You have to tell us now? 😂
Thay have released in England
Awesome! Congrats!
Great video and I really appreciate the to-the-point reporting on the purchases you made, I really don’t want to support Temu but I’m honestly tempted at these deals. Fantastic video, subbed.
Thanks! I agree. I wasn’t Interested in buying on TEMU either. I assumed everything was fake knockoffs. But if a store is going to sell real LEGO at a good price and do good business I can appreciate that and support the store while getting a good deal .
These sets realsee in other countries already I think so makes sense
That’s what I’m hearing so that does make more sense now.
Hod do you find them? I seaech up lego in temu and all that it showed was fake lego
Here is the store I purchase from but proceed with caution on this platform. share.temu.com/Kh97vqe4RNA
@@TheBrickQuestThe link does not work😪
I confirm the link does not work
paper bags for some sets is normal now, one lego cit yi got recently had paper bags so do some of newer ninjago sets i get also have paper bags.
@@ravenspurplebeats5412 good to know. I havnt seen them yet. Thanks for the info!
