I would never get scammed because I am very carfueal but my Mum for Christmas wanted to get me loads of clone troopers. She did exactly that but in fake lego, she didnt even know it was a thing bless her
Oh nooo...it happened....So sorry for ya dude...Good that guy gave you your money back! It always is so annoying when such things happen and when the sellers even try to start a discussion I think it's just unnecessary from them! Keep it up man!
Protip: anything that says "custom" for lego on Ebay, amazon, Aliexpress and minor shopping sites means its fake. I spent £5 on a "custom *Lego* (keep Lego in mind) p1 wolf pack trooper" (that was the actual name) and had Lego in brand, yet the only thing that could have indicated it was fake was that the description read: "this is a customised product, please note before buying and no refunds.".
I only made one LEGO purchase on Ebay and I got scammed. They were supposed to be LEGO Death Troopers but when I got them, they did not match the pictures that were on the listing but I ended up getting my money back and I got to keep the fake minifigures!
I bought $300 of fake Lego looking minifigs at a flea market. I kept them to remember it to also show others. Sorry for you situation but we need to share more how to spot fakes.
I have been scammed too, the seller said they were custom clones and I bought them, then I noticed they were just figures from aliexpress. They’re good after all, but I would have paid them much less😥
Well funfact- in Germany the Lego A/S started a large campaign against retailers and manufacturers of bricks to save their brand and their minifigs (in a pretty ridicoulous way!- but that story is too long to explain- at the current stage they blocked the retailer of Qman for whole Europe by dencouncing Qman at the customs and now all deliveries from China are stored in, untill this instance is cleared). At one point Lego forced a youtuber (Der Held der Steine- hero of stones/bricks- about 650k followers) judicially to remove or redo some of his videos (e.g. comparing the new Lego Ferrari with that one of Cada) where he called any brick "Legos" (in fact Legos buys/lets manufacture bricks in China, probably at the same manucaturer than XingBao, Cada and the others- in fact they all have the same issues with scratchy tiles, different colours and so on). My suggestion- send your instance to the Lego A/S and demand that they do something against ebay and such shady auctions, because "Lego´s reputation is spattered" and than watch how the Lego A/S will send out their bloodhounds. Lego´s arguments are, that only their bricks are the best quality and they want to save us "beloved" customers from buying less quality products (that was the main argument against Der Held der Steine when he called everything Legos). And at the moment they are doing this fair play-thing on their website (well, compare that with the customs thing above- very fair imo). Maybe your chances are good, that there is something going to happen. And in this case Lego´s Lawyers would do a good job, instead of harassing integer businessmen or Lego´s competitors.
I hate fakes and customs because the sellers, aside from official sites, are usually sketch. They also use Lego and other related terms in their meta data and descriptions so their products show up when Lego is searched for. Add to this Aliexpress junk, and it's easy to get scammed. However, if you set out for fake 'Lego,' don't be surprised when that's exactly what you get. Along with the qualities all it entails.
Knock-offs don't yellow (maybe they don't look so good as real ones and plastic is cheaper ,but at least they will keep seeing WHITE ,so that's why I'm usually buying them and custom helmets elsewhere)
Customs Lego are a rabbit hole getting bigger in collecting community there not bad there not good it’s all preference u need to beware of what ur buying and ask questions Honestly these customs/non legos look better in some cases
Once I bought 5 212th clones just to see they were fake because of the small detail on the helmet realising it was waxer and waxer doesn't exist in Lego so now I have 5 waxers
Hey I’m not against buying knockoffs because I found a really good Levi alternative that’s cheaper, and personally I would rather buy the knockoffs than the actual Legos
Hey man!! Why you didn't use a minifigs from TheBrickWiz and Solidbrixstudio ? They are made with passion and real lego pieces. That's just a question🤩🤩
The ARF trooper helmet is defenitely fake, the visor isn't cut that bad on the ones from Arealight, they're more accurate. it look like they've taken the same mold from arealight or made a cheap copy of it, since they also make pilots one. But even the ABS plastic used and the edges on those seam weirdly made. When i thought about it, i feel like they stole, or i don't know how the fuck did they obtain the arealight 3D models files. But with those 3d files they put it on some 3D software and change the helmet a little bit, to say: "Hey ! Those aren't the same, they're the uglier version, but we can't get sued". But these are some bad variation ones with this goddamn cheaper ABS plastic.
You can tell if they are fake by looking at the clones LEGO DID MAKE just use your eyes this is more painful for me because you just need to look 👀 at the picture its that obvious yall getting yourselves scammed for fun at this point😕
Why is it bad to buy knock offs? I buy them for extremly cheap and some are good if not even better then the original. Why should I care if they are not real lego?
Man, i doing customs on fake lego and my clients is so happy, because in Russia people can't pay 25$ for 1 clone. You got so cool minifigure 5$ for 1, don't "😖" and be happy, that you got 332st clones)
Have you ever been scammed? What do you think of these clones? Let me know!
Yes I have been scammed, with clone troopers too
I would never get scammed because I am very carfueal but my Mum for Christmas wanted to get me loads of clone troopers. She did exactly that but in fake lego, she didnt even know it was a thing bless her
I've been scammed with droids, 50 b1 droids for 25 bucks, dude also said 'custom lego'
I was about to buy this 🥶
Do you have a link for buy them
The clones in the thumbnail don’t look all bad tho, I can’t lie
That’s what I thought at first! But the closer you look the worse it gets for sure
Same can't lie
I agree. I like them
Ye they look cool
Indeed
The clone troopers are horrible but the rifles that they made they're pretty good and I bought some of those
Yeah thats true
To be honest the figures that I've bought have been pretty good, I guess it depends on which manufacturer they cane from.
They call themselves the bad batch XD
i swear decaling clones is now my addiction
I feel that
More red flags than a 18 hole golf course
😂😂😂😂
So sorry dude but at least your helping us not buy scam products and we appreciate that
*REMEMBER: IF IT'S TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE IT PROBABLY ISN'T*
Great advice
Oh nooo...it happened....So sorry for ya dude...Good that guy gave you your money back! It always is so annoying when such things happen and when the sellers even try to start a discussion I think it's just unnecessary from them! Keep it up man!
Yeah I’m glad I got it back! Yeah definitely! Thanks bud

Yeah me too I agree it’s so annoying! What more do you think I should have done?
@@SW_Bricks i think you did all that you could do we just gotta hope it wont happen again
RIP, that sucks dude
I hate those cruddy customs people make, like these ones. Also, love your content!
To be honest I don't give a dam if my lego figures are fake or real
I only made one LEGO purchase on Ebay and I got scammed. They were supposed to be LEGO Death Troopers but when I got them, they did not match the pictures that were on the listing but I ended up getting my money back and I got to keep the fake minifigures!
Fair yeah thats the good thing about eBaying youre usually covered
0:48 Probably some AV figures 332 LEGO minifigure ripoffs.

Battle bots 😂
Hey I got scammed on battle droids but it did boost my droid army.
Can we get a F for our boy SW
They don’t look that bad but a scam is a scam. Also I respect the Chicago bulls drip 💧
“Oh not good”
It depends on the manufacturer of the fake stuff; I bought the bad batch and commander cody with Airborne Clones and they look great.
Are those decalled tho?
Yes they are fake AV figure decals.
@@Belligolllllll Oh oof
@@bonelessfish3077 and on fake Lego pieces
@@SW_Bricks AHHHH oof, that is sad :(( well at least you got the refund tho!
You should buy a few and do a video destroying them 🤣
Oh I sent them back! If I hadn’t got a refund then I would’ve done for sure
I agree
@@SW_Bricks get some off his website lol
Really unfortunate SW. EBay is a gamble sometimes. I got really lucky when I got a perfect condition used arc 170 for £88 ish.
Oh wow thats pretty sick! Yeah ive got lots of good stuff sometimes you just get unlucky!
I would be so mad I only get my custom clone troopers from CAC
I decal figures myself but I do plan on getting some CAC figures in the future.
ngl, the knockoff Galactic Marine on that guy's website looks pretty sick.
Even though their fake they still look pretty cool
Ripppp man
I have an idea for a cool moc with some decaled clones. The assembly complex on anxes would like great.
Is me printing out a picture of a torso and glueing to a lego torso bad? No I’m not selling them
Its more the selling part and using another companies design and just stealing it to make money from! I guess its not bad if youre keeping
I don’t care if they are fake they look cool
I have been scammed too, the seller said they were custom clones and I bought them, then I noticed they were just figures from aliexpress. They’re good after all, but I would have paid them much less😥
Yes gotta be careful
Man what the heck, it’s amazing the effort people put into their scams. Goodness.
Ya amazing. Honestly at this point with all that detail I don’t see why they wouldn’t just use genuine Lego based.

Same thing happened to me man I understand your pain
Why would you care for Lego’s profits? They obviously they don’t care about us consumers with those ridiculous prices for plastic 🤷🏽♂️
For me its ok to have those figs cuz its still good for army building
Lazy cheap decals are one thing. Those bodies are a joke. "Custom LEGO" should not be that terrible.
They were awful!!
Damn that’s pretty annoying
how do you get to this guys site
Uh oh☹️
which website do you sell your decaled figs on?
I mainly sell them through my instagram but also my eBay sometimes
@@SW_Bricks ok
So I bought on eBay clone army customs galactic marine and well of course they sent me a stupid galactic marine knockoff
He didn’t really get scammed you see it said “custom”
We all need to work together to shut this website down
Bro that sucks luckily I have never been scammed
Lucky!
lucky man
Those decals on his site kind of look like tayos decals, tayo is another custom decal site but from what I know they are trusted and good
Yeah someone else said that I think your right! Ive heard of them but never used them!
It’s better if they’re good.
Knock-offs don't yellow (maybe they don't look so good as real ones and plastic is cheaper ,but at least they will keep seeing WHITE ,so that's why I'm usually buying them and custom helmets elsewhere)
Customs Lego are a rabbit hole getting bigger in collecting community there not bad there not good it’s all preference u need to beware of what ur buying and ask questions
Honestly these customs/non legos look better in some cases
Customs are usually better quality and way cheaper than Lego anyways lol. I wouldn't have been mad 😅
Once I bought 5 212th clones just to see they were fake because of the small detail on the helmet realising it was waxer and waxer doesn't exist in Lego so now I have 5 waxers
that sucks how u got scamed
oh no
Oh dear
Not to be mean or anything but how could you not tell there fake, the "decals" are worn looking and kinda peeled off on the foot.
Thosw decals look so hard to apply! They have no outline to cut on!
im confused, it obviously said "custom" it cant be an actual lego made clone can it? of course its fake, bruh
I want captain Rex but I can’t tell what’s real or fake 😭
Find one, send a photo to me on instagram ill tell you
People should pay more attention to red flags. The most obvious sign is that they're red.
I got some of these, and they are not bad. If you need a army then this might be the way to go.
They aren’t real but they are decent. The only problem is that they are stiff in parts and their hands and legs don’t move as well
Custom does also mean Fake Lego though if you didnt know
Yeah I guess maybe but not If it says "LEGO", fakes usually dont include the word lego
Hey I’m not against buying knockoffs because I found a really good Levi alternative that’s cheaper, and personally I would rather buy the knockoffs than the actual Legos
There are some high quality knockoff clones though. I have several (not from this guy) that look exactly and feel just like the real thing
where did you get these from? I have been looking around and its hard to tell how good or bad they could be.
yeah i have been scammed before
Hey man!! Why you didn't use a minifigs from TheBrickWiz and Solidbrixstudio ? They are made with passion and real lego pieces. That's just a question🤩🤩
I dont think the brick wiz sells customs, solid brix has cool figs but theyre never in stock and take ages to come to the uk!
@@SW_Bricks haha as I sayed... its just an idea😁 I hope I can find an other solution for you 😁😁
To be honest……. These are SIIICK these are fake figs yes but they look very cool to me
So what’s the difference SW?...
😂😂😂 jkjk
Well played
Its looks like 332nd but with no blue
Rip
That arf trooper is so obviously fake
The ARF trooper helmet is defenitely fake, the visor isn't cut that bad on the ones from Arealight, they're more accurate. it look like they've taken the same mold from arealight or made a cheap copy of it, since they also make pilots one.

Horrid figs good gums amazing new sub
Thanks for the sub!
@@SW_Bricks ur welcone

(i live in hong kong (china) and there way too many fake lego)
Oh that sucks!
Why is it bad to buy knock offs?
I buy them for extremly cheap and some are good if not even better then the original.
Why should I care if they are not real lego?
Do u have a ebay?
Yes I do! Dm me on intsta for a link or you can buy the figs on there too!
Fake clones are the worst
Remember you 500 sub contest
I guess it is okay
To be honest they don't look that bad
F my friend
They don’t look terrible
Ripp man
Bought loads off aliexpress better quality than those for £1 each
I it is fake because the phase one orange trooper is to durpy and not correct look
A 20 no los veo pero pero 13 seria increíble
ay atleast you still got the clone trooper eaven its fake am i right😄
F
Ya know it says custom so its not fake
I mean it wasn’t really a scam because it did say custom and you just had to look very closely
Custom isn't the same as knockoff / fake
Man, i doing customs on fake lego and my clients is so happy, because in Russia people can't pay 25$ for 1 clone. You got so cool minifigure 5$ for 1, don't "😖" and be happy, that you got 332st clones)
Fair enough but I dont want fake products which think is completely fair enough!
Lepin clones
rare figers but bad minefigers not to you the other guy
but theres no difference!
He makes his own decals? He didn't scam you at all? He decals on non branded helmets and parts.
The decals design are av figures
