There are many dolls in each Lego series every year, and the biggest headache for many players is how to query all the dolls. Although many friends of Lego have compiled some lists, the easiest and most effective way is to go to bricklink.com to check them. Enter "Star Wars Mini Doll Map" to see all the Star Wars dolls in history.
What pits do buyers have?
Taobao dolls are sometimes more expensive than foreign ones. Later, more and more dolls were sold, and I liked to bid on eBay. In fact, there is a channel for domestic genuine sellers' goods through ebay Haitao. For example, "Lego mini doll job lot" means "batch Lego dolls". Basically, many people buy it every time, but it depends on luck to find what is missing. I tried to buy 2 kilograms (4 kilograms) of antique smoked music for 2000 yuan. This channel is more suitable for hardcore players.
The easiest way to judge whether a doll is genuine is to see if there is a Lego logo, but this trick has been cracked by domestic profiteers, and then slowly say it.
It is more convenient to buy a small number of dolls or Taobao. Among them, many dolls in Jiaxing delivery shop are taken out from Lego factory in Jiaxing, and the price is usually much cheaper than that of other shops that rely on unpacking, but they often have no weapons, so as long as everyone sees that the dolls have no weapons, there is a high probability that they are made by the factory. One thing that needs attention in this channel is that the goods from many factories are defective. For example, Jabba dolls, which appeared in large numbers some time ago, only sell for 50 pieces, and at least 250 pieces abroad. However, normal sellers will say that the goods are defective, and if not, they will mark 50 yuan. Attention, everyone.
Other stores often have cheap ones, but remember never to buy treasures in the express shop in Shenyang. This is a lesson of blood. Several stores in Shenyang are actually opened by the same boss, and many WeChat groups have been built to blow each other. His family has equipment to print their own patterns on the real Lego body and legs, and then make up the scarce parts through Jiaxing. For example, an Iron Man doll some time ago is an example. The purchase price of Iron Man's head and helmet is about 12, and the blank and legs are about 4 pieces. No printing cost, net profit 14. There is also a "plastic three-dimensional printing" process, in which Lego logo is printed on fake Lego. It's hard to prevent. You need to put it with the real thing to see it.
A netizen in Guangzhou collected Star Wars dolls in recent years, all of which were bought in Shenyang. In fact, it doesn't matter if you play by yourself, but don't let the children touch it, it will be toxic. I have tens of thousands of Shenyang goods myself, and now I have deliberately sorted them out and put them aside (if I compare them with genuine products carefully, I can see the difference between printing), and there is really no way. Although Leleyi is also printed with a real Lego body, people say that it is designed and printed by itself, and the copyright is no problem, and the quality is guaranteed, which is essentially different from Shenyang store.
Compared with ebay, the advantage of domestic Taobao is that it is easy to buy, and new treasures are often cheaper than foreign ones. My experience is that you can only go to eBay to buy old dolls. If you buy in China, look at the store in Jiaxing first, and then look at other stores.
In fact, the most economical way to have fun is not to buy fakes. The loss of buying a fake product needs to be compensated by buying several discounted genuine products.
I hope it is useful to everyone.
