      You can get D Va and Reinhardt for $32, and it will keep its value and maybe increase in value over time. Fake LEGO is worthless now and worthless in the future.

    I think alot of youtubers seem to dislike non lego, but other brick companies offer a low budget way to get access to 3x the amount of bricks you would get from lego. I still buy lego sets, but I don't part them out and I take really good care of them :D

    @Excellsion 5 лет назад +5

    Gotta say, I really don't get the Lego purist mentality unless the pieces just suck like the BTR crap, (I used those chasis for piece sorting.) Isn't the whole idea of Lego to build whatever you can think of? It just seems limiting, especially if there is just no freaking difference between a Lego piece and off brand equivalent, but to each their own.

  • @patrickschellen737
    @patrickschellen737 5 лет назад +3

    Complaining about prices for this kind of services is a little short sighted in my opinion. They MOC a set, source the parts, print instructions and packaging and don't have the advantages of scale and own production like LEGO has. So it's always a lot more expensive than a regular set. It's about service and surprise (and not about getting the most value for money, that's impossible with an (interesting) subscription). And tbh at the moment I'm severely bored with regular LEGO sets so if we had a reasonably priced brick service like this in The Netherlands I would find this price acceptable. However, I do agree that I would expect 100% LEGO products.

    • @brickitect
      @brickitect  5 лет назад

      I definitely agree with your points. It really comes down to the individual. Do you want a surprise each month of LEGO and non-LEGO bricks or do you want to use that money toward a bigger, but known LEGO set. To each his own, but I think when the novelty wears off, the LEGO set choice is the best route.

  • @Maniac4Bricks
    @Maniac4Bricks 5 лет назад +14

    While I do agree that it is a low value for what you get, especially when one build was authentic Lego and the other one was not, I would say that the pad printed minifinger is probably worth more than $4. Especially if they are authentic Lego pieces. Thanks again for the review, I don't know if you would pursue any other subscription boxes but it was good to get a taste.

    I have a mixed opinion on subscription boxes. Sometimes it is worth the money because you get amazing minifigs and pieces for a cheaper price, but then there are other boxes that give you ok bricks and even some none LEGO pieces and I just am not willing to pay $30-35 for a shot in the dark

  • @shooterplayz9272
    @shooterplayz9272 5 лет назад +8

    I dont think it's worth it because for 33$ for less than 100 REAL Lego pieces that's a pretty bad deal

      brixinit isn't much better. but it was all genuine Lego parts. the downside was that it was just 2 medium bags of random bricks, a mini, and a small pack of the 'featured' element. oh and a tiny bag of accessories. could have got more bricks by buying a builder's box set

    @willblack7353 5 лет назад

    What they should do is a LEGO curation service. What I mean is real LEGO, at close to MSRP, but with an added fee, for the curation and shipping. There would be different tiers, maybe $20 MSRP, to maybe $100.

    • @brickitect

      That’s a good idea. I think people would be able to justify the cost for the additional service.

  • @berenthebear8953
    @berenthebear8953 5 лет назад +1

    I think these brick boxes are good for moc builders looking for a new idea to build perhaps. I'm starting to do my own mocs and actually prefer using non lego because you can buy cheap big sets and part them out to build new designs. It gives me the option if I like what I make to buy lego bricks to build them. I'm still waiting on lepin scooby doo sets that I spent $150 usd for 4,000 pcs and going to buy a kazi pirate ship and make a scooby doo moc pirate ship. But I do agree that is not worth $33, I'd rather look for some knock off sets for that price for parts for mocs. I do recommend buying non lego for building mocs it's alot of fun. :D

    • @DTL_Builds
      @DTL_Builds 10 месяцев назад

      This is what I do as well. Certain sets that Lego makes I want to have and keep as a set. For just MOC parts, I go with off-brand. sometimes the QC isn't there so some pieces don't stay together well, but that isn't that often and worth the savings. You do have to be careful where the bricks come from and if they are going to be alright. Lego wins in this category because you know they will always work well with other Lego pieces.

    This BrickLoot package is ok. I mean, the custom Michael Jordan Minifinger looks awesome and also the buildable Basketball display is really cool! But, the price, sports center “set” and the accessories are bad. It’s not that hard to put real LEGO Bricks and pieces in their custom subscription boxes. Plus, white LEGO tiles are easy to find and they could’ve just custom printed them like the Minifinger that was included in this box. There is still a lot of great little LEGO related things in this, but $30 is a bit overpriced for this because there’s mostly non-LEGO in it. I agree with you that it should be around $15. But, a real $15 LEGO set would kind of be better than this. It was awesome how you got it for free though lol! I definitely think this review would win the MEGA BRICK contest though! Awesome video and looking forward to tomorrow’s video soon!

    Dispointed! I am truly unhappy that brickLoot doesn’t include real Lego system Bricks, for some of their builds. Especially when the main build isn’t real lego bricks, and just a pile of nonlego! ( No offense) I would say the only good thing that came out of this would have to be the build for the basketball player with the ball and the minifiger of MJ with cool details. That actually using real lego system bricks! This might be a little bit of Bias but I actually like the Monopoly board just because I have amazing memories playing it with my family. Sorry if I can being so negative with BrickLoot just want to share my thoughts. I would only pay 15 dollars with 5 dollars shipping and that’s included for 6 months. Great video Greg and thanks for sharing your honest thoughts and hope you WIN.
    Ps. Sorry for being a little bit inactive on the channel, been a bit busy with hanging with my family so haven’t had time to comment but I still continue watching Amazing videos EveryDay!

  • @Praxics0815
    @Praxics0815 5 лет назад +1

    I can understand your disdain to this box in terms of value.
    No criticism there.
    What irritates me is you obsession with a brand.
    Lego is a brand and they no longer hold a patent over the brick design. The studs are part of a function and are no longer protected.
    This was confirmed in several independent legal proceedings around the world.
    Those bricks are not fake Lego… they are just not Lego.
    Cobi, Mega Bloks, BanBao, Sluban, Kre-O are not fake Lego. They are proper building brick brands.
    Even Lepin.
    I can understand not supporting Lepin because they blatantly copy Lego sets and therefore ignore copyrights but their bricks are not fake Lego either. They are in their rights to manufacture the bricks, just not the entire sets.
    Fake Lego is a derogatory term by fanatics who should take a step back and rethink their life choices really.
    And quite frankly I get it in terms of Lepin as well. If Lego wants to kick sets out every few years despite demand just to supply a collector or in better terms speculator market I think people are in their right to say well fuck that.
    Lego isn’t losing any money if e.g. I buy a Super Star Destroyer from Lepin for 100 bucks now are they? They sold theirs years ago and made their money.
    I’m certainly not going to pay some collectors/speculators rent to buy one. Lepin it is then.

      At the end of the day I would rather have alot of basic or common pieces that are real lego then alot of rare pieces I will never use. But you are right for what you get it is pricey. But as far as I know it is the only subscription box at this time that is almost all actual lego. For the price of these boxes you could get yourself an actual lego set. So potato patato. Just depends on what you like. For a real value kinda like a mystery box you can sometimes get 5 pounds of lego on ebay for around 30 dollars.

    I can understand why its fake as if they manufactured these with the lego symbols it would be copyright infringement and then if they had to order parts it would be more expensive. However some of the items you get would be nice for MOCs. I would buy a subscription if it was a bit cheaper.
