Someone cloned Lego’s Millenium Falcon, and it’s a new maker [Lepin Star Wars The Force Awakens Millenium Falcon]

Well. The allure of cashing in from a sure-fire merchandising behemoth like Star Wars produced a new entrant in the Lego clone scene, Lepin. Getting another maker isn’t exactly surprising, it’s that they jumped into the fray with huge sets from the get-go. To be honest, the Millenium Falcon isn’t the first of their kits to come over. The first I’ve seen from them is Kylo Ren’s Command Shuttle, an equally-huge set (but something I personally skipped, not being a fan of the ship design in general). So yeah, Lepin came in with a splash tidal wave, not being content in starting off with the usual 8-character themed minifig sets.

These Could Be The Bootleg Star Wars Minifigs You're Looking For [Sheng Yuan Star Wars Set]

A long time ago, in a galaxy, well, not far away (we're actually in it), a young George Lucas brought to the world a genre-breaking sci-fi film we now all know as Star Wars. It has been a cultural pop icon and fixture for so long, it has spawned so many merchandised items. Obviously, Lego saw it fit (and rightly so) to license Star Wars for their own sets. The bootleg makers, seeing an opportunity to cash in themselves, also saw it fit to, uh, "incorporate" those designs in their own product lines.

So now we have Sheng Yuan (previously seen in this blog making superhero minifigs) dipping its toes in the SW line (the Clone Wars timeline, in particular). Pricing is as per usual, so that's PhP 27.50 per minifig when bought as a set of 6.
