    madturbo123, how is this lego quality? as i bought for present can't open.

    To POWERrevolution: LEGO quality should be very good. They are made out of find plastic and that is why it is so expensive.

    I didnt realise the "quality" of lego changed. If its the standard bricks… its all good.

      hmmmm looks like it passed in. tbh 20,000 is a bit much.

      I have a large plastic box of it, but nothing like that

  • sarakoth on 14/01/2011 - 14:05

    So where is the cheapest place to get lego??

    I need mooooarrr!

    dealextreme sell enlighten "lego". enlighten apparently used to be a chinese company that made lego but stopped (or something like that). anyway -it looks like lego, feels like lego and tastes like plastic. my wife happened to buy some of this enlighten from a shop in Aspley (the new coles shopping centre). $3 for a small box.

      I'm an AFOL (Adult Fan Of Lego) so I should try to clear this up. 99% of the Lego you buy in any toy shop is going to be genuine, good quality etc (exactly as you remembered as a kid) and if you're buying in Australia, it all comes from Billund, Denmark.

      However there are 2 other cases

      1) Knock-offs. Not usually officially licensed, the type you can pick up in $2 stores. Some Lego purists put Mega-Bloks in this category. Quality isn't as good.

      2) Licensed Chinese Lego. These are 'legit' in the sense they're licensed by Lego, but made in China, the quality is not quite as good, some of the joints are looser etc. However, these pieces are used almost exclusively for 'accessories' like the Lego pens, Lego watches etc.
