Clever of the Chinese police to "uncover" something we've all being seeing and talking about for years. @dtobin123 Well said, agreed. Some shabby basement company! The earnest police man gesticulating to the completely passive faces of the "criminals" is almost assuredly a puppet show. Toys used to be made of sticks bound together.Rant over =D. Follow a Leptin Diet. China most certainly condones what Lepin was allowed to do. Discussion of knockoff/custom Lego sets and minifigures by the likes of Lepin/King/Queen/Jack, Mould King, Xingbao, Decool, Lele, Bela, Shen Yuan and others. This is just a public relations stunt, even if these Lepin people will rot away in a prison somewhere for the remainder of their lives. The Chinese have gone from defending the copyright crooks in court to destroying their workers' livelihoods? I hope they'll recycle all of the tons and tons of paper and plastic, and not just throw them away. Set Quality. All Lepin profits should be confiscated and divided 50/50 between Lego (to be distributed among employees) and the Chinese government (to be distributed to people in need). Thrilling! At least we got The Flying Dutchman from Lepin. Gotta love the English language! We can be glad the thieves are, at least on some level, brought down, but to take pleasure in what has happened to the workers is cruel and demonstrates a lack of empathy as well as highlights one's own security and privilege, one's luck at being born into circumstances that make such a life unimaginable, or the luck of being part of a culture that, for those not immediately born into such a life, supports making one's way there (typically at great cost and effort for the person striving to improve their situation, but that's another discussion). You can fly over the mountains, fight against the other dragons or make them your allies. I imagine that the people lined up during the raid are possibly just low paid workers. It looks about the same as any other factory mold/jig room and packing room in the region. Sadly, what you described is not very possible. lets hope Lego REDUCE the price on their sets as a token to us all - real customers. Those are the ones that knock-off the Friends theme. 0 out of 5 $ 59.00. Remus was born on 10 March, 1960 to Lyall and Hope Lupin. There is presumption that people who bought lepin would buy instead Lego if lepin ceased to exist. Do we have any confirmation that this is 100% true? Ooh come on! The story combines humor and adventure and is accompanied by beautiful watercolors. The photos make it look like they run it out of some garage. The printing alone is so bad that a lot of knockoffs look better. Until they restart selling I’m boycotting LEGO. Unfortunately the Kiddicraft bricks weren't very successful but I don't think Lego is to blame for this, I'd rather imagine they struggled to compete with the then-established Minibrix - which with their chunky, less "plasticky" feel, larger part selection and more natural colors may have been perceived as a higher quality product, especially for making realistic buildings. "[we] successfully destroyed the criminal gang suspected of infringing the copyright of the “Lego” brand, arrested four suspects headed by Li [the company owner], and smashed production and packaging. I mean there is a 2000-pcs set from LEGO, and LEPIN copies the bricks, but NOT the whole set - but accidentally a very similar model comes out of the bricks. Wow! So when Lego claims the design of the minifigure (and even the 2x4 brick!) For now. But not only that but the clutch power of the head, legs and arms have dramatically gone downhill in the last several years.Also the part with the 90 molds in the article. I've been ordering successfully off of Minifigures Wholesale for 3 months. what LEGO does. Its a real shame to see people defending Lepin. I have to admit I have my doubts as to a) the sincerity of the Chinese authoritiesb) the effectiveness of this "raid"Why?For a start, Chinese authorities in general don't seem to give a rat's behind about companies that infringe on Western copyrights. then pressure is off. @bananaworld I was thinking the same thing. Still, well done. There's no harm in not wishing harm, is there? @lippidp: I don't believe TLG would be that easy to hack! Looks like a badly organized mess too on the pics. The Lepin Movie 2? I thought they were to be shut down last year after LEGO won the court battle. The site was taken down when Lego Company targeted all sites that contained lego type bricks available to the 3D printing community siting copyright. It's not a medical clean room or an electronics assembly room. In time I always welcome competition, but not dishonest competition. Lepin is without a doubt an illegal operation, but I will say that their minifigures don't crack like the Lego ones do. Foods that are very satiating … Has the success of Lego hailed the demise of small toy stores that can't access distribution rights or afford the capital to purchase Lego in the first-place to sell-on?When Lego wins, someone loses...I don't believe the answer is condoning illegal copies, but what can large companies like Lego do to give back to the indigenous markets they are seeking to profit from?
