AT-AT build
I just finished putting together the AT-AT set from this company and I gotta say, I am super happy with it. I saw some bad reviews online, but after building it myself, I'm a big fan now. The quality and details of the set were top-notch, and it was really fun to put together. If you're a LEGO fan on a budget, I highly suggest checking out this set.
MOC sets
The website is super reliable and their customer service is top-notch. Those MOC sets won't break the bank and are definitely worth checking out.
LEGO set imitation bricks
Oh man, I can't believe I thought I was buying authentic LEGO, but it turns out they're just those cheap knockoffs from China. Such a letdown, right? And get this, a lot of their designs are totally copied from other builders! They try to pass it off as "LEGO compatible" bricks, but let's just call it what it really is - fake LEGO. I asked about instructions for a set, and guess what? You have to purchase them separately from the original designer! Seriously? Not cool, Vonado, not cool.
So, after doing some investigating, I found those same imitation bricks for way cheaper somewhere else. Lesson learned - if you want the real deal, stay away from Vonado. But if you're cool with paying extra for knockoff bricks, then go ahead and give them a shot. Just be ready to be let down if you think you're getting LEGO.
Giving them just one star because they're pretty deceptive with what they're selling. I almost fell for it, but thankfully my instincts kicked in when I saw the price. Did some digging and narrowly avoided a disaster. Whew!Launch Umbilical Tower model
So, I was trying to get my hands on this Launch Umbilical Tower model, you know, from the Saturn V5 rocket era back in the 60s. It's a pretty rare find, but I finally spotted one on this online shop that sells model kits. I went ahead and made the purchase through the usual payment processor, but then I noticed something funky on the receipt. Turns out, the transaction went through some company called Brick World instead of the shop I originally picked. Plus, the payment was headed to some shady email address which set off all kinds of alarms in my head. I reached out to PayPal right away, and they poked around and confirmed that the shop, Vonado, was definitely fishy. Luckily, I got my money back in no time, but I was bummed out about missing out on the Launch Umbilical Tower model for my collection.
Item ordered in October
I ordered this really cool thing back in October, but man, it's taking forever to show up. I've been annoying them so much for updates, and now there's literally no info on where my order is! It's already January and my item is nowhere to be found. I even shot them an email, but nobody has bothered to respond. Ugh, what a total waste of time! They're probably just a bunch of scammers.
Yamato
negative. simply because the quality of these bricks are crap. the tolerances for them to fit is way too tight... and there is something wrong with them, over a foot they are too short or too long so you have to force it to connect USUALLY BREAKING WHAT YOU BUILT APART. the set design was 3rd party and you also have to buy the directions separately, so if they are crap instructions. (the design concept was great) but the designed did a bad job showing you how to build it... lots of guess work. taking way too long. It also shipped from China which they don't tell you that's where it coming from. this is what I get from straying from lego
How long did it take to ship and arrive at your door after you ordered?
