- This is the AliExpress version of Legos Titanic. I go through the build and review it afterwards with my genuine thoughts on whether this kit is worth paying £120 for

I came to this video for the Aliexpress Titanic, but I stayed for the charming commentary and review. Your editing isn't bad at all! Great video, keep it up man.
Oh wow! I woke up to this lovely comment this morning 😃 Thank you.
I'm in the middle of doing an Ali Express version of the Ferrari Daytona. That should be uploaded in the next week or so.
Johnny
Great to see you back with a new video.
I loved it, great content, great commentary. I could see just how much pleasure, this project brought to you.
Thank you for sharing and bringing joy to us.
Ps. Hope the thumb is better.
Paul.
Hi Paul, thanks. This was great fun, quite relaxing too. Problem is, I dont know what to do next...
Hey, Great to see you back! We've missed you over here in New England. We've followed you through a couple of car restorations, your apartment refurb and even the clock episode. So, I can hardly wait to watch this latest adventure.
Hi Albert, thank you.
Ive been feeling guilty about not uploading anything for such a long time 😄
Great to see you back with a new video.
Hello Johnny,
That looks great fun... I like the idea of tinkering away to build it, thanks for sharing.
Take care.
Paul,,
I think people like us, who are mechanically minded, particularly enjoy these build videos.
Looked absolutely amazing today, your a genius mate, there is nothing your mind and hands can't do.
Thank Lee
Thank you for the detailed review of this set. I'm no lego enthusiast but I want to start building some of these as a hobby. You sold me on this one. Thank you!
I know a few people have bought this kit and thoroughly enjoyed it. you will too
Thank you for the video. I’ve just completed the AliExpress Titanic (not predicated on this video) and like you, found the experience to be excellent. The package arrived in about a week. It had 23 large numbered bags in it, which matched the 23 major stages in the instruction booklet. Everything went together well and there were no missing parts. You are right about the instructions though - the copy version, being much condensed, makes distinguishing some small parts really difficult. The PDF would have been better, although I reverted to using the Lego App as all the parts and colours were in the pack I got were pretty much identical. So, following initial concerns (about whether it would be delivered, whether there would be problems - all of which were unfounded), I have no regrets and am delighted with the end result. Like you, I’m looking for the next now. Thanks again…
There was always that anticipation with AliExpress that either the goods might not turn up or they might be faulty. I have ordered so many things from there now and not once had a problem. Since building the Titanic, I have built a Ferrari Daytona (also posted on my channel) and now am in the middle of putting together the Grand Piano, 21323. Trouble is, all these things are so large, I dont know where to put them all 😄
Hi, do you recall the AliExpress vendor's name as he seems reliable :)
Great video! I was considering getting this set, and now I’m really strongly considering it.
You will love it!
Literally finished my genuine Lego titanic last night other than getting it in the Lego box in the 3 stages makes me wonder what I spent that extra £500 on!? I can’t see much difference to yours at all it’s so identical! Only thing I did notice is the random white brick on the rudder but other than that brilliant it’s a joy to build! Already got the light kit to go in now too!
Its a shame that Lego dont reduce the price of their kits to make them more affordable. I've just finished the Ferrari Daytona SP3 kit from AliExpress (uploaded vid) again, its a fantastic piece of kit which only cost me £60 delivered compared to £320 in the shops here.
Aside from that, isnt it an amazing satisfying hobby? The lights are really going to set it off.
Absolutely brilliant
Thanks for making this video I’ll be picking one from AliExpress and I’m glad you enjoyed building it I hope I get mine in less time then u had to wait lol take care.
Great video, I ordered this based on your great review. Thanks!
You won't be disappointed. You'll enjoy many hours putting it together.
Johnny
how did it turn out for you?
Hello. Can you send me link to the manual pdf? Will appreciate
Nice review! Thanks a lot!
Glad you liked it.
Thank you
What a wonderful video, like your building experience, it was a pleasure watching your review in full duration.
Keep up the good work! Very thoughtful from your brother, perhaps down the line consider getting each other the knock off lego Eiffel tower?
I did consider the Eiffel tower but I think it might be a bit monotonous to build. And thern theres the problem of where to keep it. Its huge!!!
Great review, has given me a good heads up. I have just received mine, only has an instruction booklet. I don’t suppose you have a link to a PDF?
HI, Let me have your email address and I will send you a copy
Just found your channel! Loved the video, you should have a look at Cobi sets as well, they do all sorts of ships and boats in this scale too and cheaper than lego.
I just took a look at Cobi's website. Theyve got some unusual things. Quite interesting
Fantastic video, very informative and entertaining. And with the challenge of a thumb injury. 👍 thanks
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thumb better now 😁
honestly mate I been considering getting the AliExpress version for my girlfriend when I visit her as she loves the titanic, and it would be fun to build together, I had some doubts that it wouldn't be too great quality but after watching this I'm honestly surprised, definitely going to gift it to her.
You really wont regret it. I'm at a loss since I finished mine. So much so, that I'm thinking of ordering a the lambo kit from Ali Express. I truly believe these are original kits that have been debadged.
Great video man. Thank you.
Mine arrived yesterday in the states, thought I would share my story quickly as I haven't started building it yet. It arrived in a big grey plastic bag, rather than a box. Off to a great start! Will post again if I discover any missing pieces.
Exciting times. I didnt have any parts missing with mine, hopefully yours will be the same
I'm just under a third of the way through the build, so far I am missing the 2 black 1x2 curved pieces that go under the anchor chains on the sides of the ship, one of the black Titanic name plates(could clearly see in the small bag that only one was present, I received only 7 male(dark grey) swivel pieces(no female parts) so I substituted white to continue building, there are zero tan swivel pieces to be found( I scanned ahead in the book to see where more swivels are needed). This is where I am so far, will update again as the build continues. Will be Brick Linking whatever I need but just sharing my experience for information purposes.
All but finished at this point. Will be about 20 dollars or so to replace the missing pieces. Also bought the real one today and will start it soon, will be adding the KYGlaring lighting kit to it. Happy building!
Link da compra, por favor?
I have just received mine, only has an instruction booklet. I don’t suppose you have a link to a PDF?
Sure, let me have your email address and I'll forward it on to you
Great video! In case anyone is planning on buying one of these kits, they are so accurate to the ‘original’ you can actually follow the Lego instructions on their video.
That is such a good point. Thank you
Very interesting, I might get one myself.
Take a look on Ali Express, theres some really good car and motorbike kits on there too
Yeah I had a look
@@treetopspider
Brilliant Job Johnny. Hope the thumb is better.
Thanks Rob, the thumb is doing well although a little mishapened 😆
Hi there, mine has come with a paper booklet and its a liitle small. Dont suppose you could send me a link to the PDF file
Hi,
Email me at treetopspidr@gmail.com
and I'll send a copy over to you
Just got ours today and looking forward to building it 🙌🏻. Any chance please of getting the link to the pdf building file 👍🏻
sure, just email me and ill send one over to you
Thank you but I cannot find your email address 🤦🏼♂️
I would love to buy one for my self but theres alot of duplicates on aliexpress could you possibly give me a link to the listing he got it from?
I'm afraid I dont have the link as my brother bought it for me as a gift. However, he did say that the one he ordered for me wasnt from the same seller as his one. So I think you should be ok with whichever one you order.
@@treetopspider ah alright ill just hope for the best lol thanks for the reply:)
@@joscious. Hi, I’m the person that bought that from Ali, I also bought another from a different seller and another two sets. Much like EBay if you look at the sellers ratings you pretty much can’t go wrong, make sure the piece amount and dimensions tally and you will be ok. Ali express are strict on who can sell and if you pay by PayPal and are not happy you will get a full refund. The second kit was a few days late and I messages the seller, he was prompt on reply and assured me it was on its way, two days later it arrived.
@@keithyianni7389 okay thats very helpful thanks :)
I just received my aliexpress set. I got it with the box and instructions. However on step 10 of the very first bag I am missing the half circle piece and the swivel pieces. Step 11 you need the same three pieces so I’m missing those 6. Unless they’re in another bag. But I’ve opened the big first bag which had a bunch of smaller bags inside. Did anyone else have a similar issue?
Sometimes the parts needed run into other bags. The instructions are from the original Lego handbook but the way Ali Express pack the parts doesnt correlate with the instruction booklet.
Hope that helps
Hello there, did u have to use any glue? Or file any pieces?
Hi
I didn't need to glue or file anything on this build. It all went together perfectly
@treetopspider thank you for replying back, do u have the link to this purchase on Ali express?
can you make more videos like this
Great video do you think you'll do another kit?
Coincidently, I ordered a Ferrari kit a couple of days ago. I'll put a video together for that when it arrives
Im looking on aliexpress and there are so many different ones. The same seller has one up for £120 and one for £105 but its the same exact description and product? I dont get it.
There could be two reasons. It could be that for £120 you get a hard copy instruction booklet as opposed to a pdf. The other reason could be £105 is plus shipping which would bring it up to £120
@@treetopspider Theyre both free shipping. One says pdf manual and the other says nothing, so it could potentially be the instructions but it doesn’t specify.
Im trying to do as much research as possible before i go ahead and buy one. Dont want to make a mistake and buy from a dodgy seller.
Its weird because i see some have a lot of products sold but their reviews arent shown, so im not sure who’s best to go with. Might just have to take the chance at this point.
I found one for £140 that seems to have the best reviews and customer service whereas the others have some negative reviews about delivery, missing pieces and piece quality. I might have to go with the more expensive one as it seems less of a gamble.
I bought it to but where can i get the pdf ?
Apparently Ive been told in the comments that it can be downloaded from the Lego website somewhere. I havent checked for that though
I bought the Firehouse from Ghostbusters.
Mine has over 80 bags but they aren't bundled together by steps like yours .
VERY intimidating
Oh No!!!!
Thats going to be a nightmare
@@treetopspider
The bags are numbered but don't seem to correspond to the steps in the instruction manual 😳
This video is so good, that I watched it 6 times. (^_^) keep it up dude.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. I also put together a Ferrari kit too. Heres the link.

Just saw it, my favorite part was the seats!
I'm glad that your Titanic turned out all right. There could've easily been pieces missing, the wrong pieces included or pieces in the wrong colours,
but it seems to have worked out for you. However, that's not to say that buying a fake Titanic is always a safe option.
There's a lot of luck involved.
Both me and my brother built the Titanic from Ali express and both were fine. As you said, maybe that's just lucky. They're great kits
where can i get the PDF ? do you have a link?
I have been told you can download it directly from the Lego website
I got one from Temu, got the actual box but unfortunately, I got 3 massive bags with more bags in them. Tha KS to you I understand the numbers on them
Oh well done. I hope you have fun putting it all together
Nice vid mate. Do you have a link. There is way too many on Ali express don’t know which one to get
My brother bought this for me after buying his own. I know that he bought from different AliExpress sellers each time but both sets were exactly the same.
Look out for the amount of pieces. As long as its 9090 (if I recall) then itll be the same.
@@treetopspider thanks I went ahead and bought one it does have 9090 pcs and it also has lights. Hope it will be good as yours
@@kamz007 I'm sure it will be fine. Im jealous that you got the one with the lights. That will really set it off. Let me know how you get on.
@@ziggy6151 no problem should here around the 27th
Can you send me the link please, I'm thinking of buying it
My brother bought this for me but if you just go to Ali Express and type in 'Lego Titanic 9090pcs' a page will come up with several sellers. I'd personally choose a seller that has had more sales even if its slightly more expensive.
@@treetopspider ok But can you send the link
Organise bricks by colour and get bigger shallower sorting trays and your life will be a lot easier
That sounds like a good tip from a seasoned lego builder. Thank you
now put the lighting and sound kit on it. it will change the whole thing for you :)
Ali Express had the opportunity to fix Lego’s biggest mistake with the design: making it modular.
What’s wrong with the official one being modular?
Nothing as it's easier to store in three pieces if you lack the proper space for it.
for a fake i like that its a real deal for it and i love it i might get myself one
You wont regret buying one. It becomes a bit of an obsession, where at any time youve got a spare 5 minutes, you'll go add a few more pieces which end up becoming an hour 😆
@@treetopspider my parents don't use Ali express so ill try to get them too😆
youre such a cool guy!
I think thats the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me . I cant wait to show my wife and kids😁
Can you do Eiffel Tower next
The Eiffel Tower is huge!!! I considered it but I dont know where I'd keep it once its built
When you say "their version of the LEGO Titanic," did you mean to say "a complete rip-off of LEGO's design, made in a sweatshop supporting illegal activities"?
Lego literally has factories in jiaxing, China. So quit crying and don't buy it if you're upset about it, go pay $700+ for it. Lego as a company was also a copy of another company when they started, they just ended up doing plastic bricks better than the original company, so Lego ripped off the idea from the original creator of plastic brick play sets 👍
@@jordanshaw1605 First of all, "factories in Jiaxing, China" doesn't automatically equate to sweatshops or illegal activities-LEGO actually has VERY strict ethical standards and monitors its supply chain rigorously. LEGO having a factory in Jiaxing is a strategic move to optimize their supply chain by manufacturing products closer to their growing markets in Asia. This is just one of their many global manufacturing locations, which also include factories in Denmark, Hungary, and Mexico. This widespread presence helps LEGO maintain high production standards and ethical practices across the board, ensuring their products meet the same quality and safety standards worldwide. Nice try, though.
As for the price, I'm more than willing to pay a premium for quality, innovation, and ethical manufacturing. If you want to support knockoffs that undermine creativity and potentially exploit workers, thats says more about you than it does me.
And let's clear up your history lesson: Lego didn't "rip off" anyone. The company innovated and refined the concept of interlocking bricks, creating a global phenomenon and an industry standard. The so-called original company didn't have a patent on the idea, nor did they take it anywhere close to the level of excellence LEGO achieved. So, if you're going try to lecture me, at least get your facts straight. 😘
Why? If you make a moc with instructions, the chinese will copy it. That's "only" worthless plastic, man. If there is a real e-mail I send you a picture of the real one...
