Extremely unofficial "Lego" kits

I fell down a rabbit hole of knock off Lego sets from China this morning, as you do, and found these two

Really cool find! I've never been into Lego (always prefer models etc to look screen accurate where possible) but these would tempt me (price aside!) 😁👍

Holy crap that's expensive, especially for a knockoff

The Nostromo is almost a meter long, damn.

With Lego you pay around ten cents a brick, and these are around 7000-8500 bricks?

looks like a scam. Pics are taken from fan Lego builds.

you can use this site to buy the pdf with instructions and then buy the necessary lego bits from resellers.

That Narcissus looks fantastic, though it's funny that Rebrickable prices the set at over $3k if you buy the parts individually lol

Lego MSRP for pieces comes out to about $0.10 per piece so if it were made "officially" it'd cost around $800ish when compared to lego sets with similar parts counts, not taking into account the "licensing tax".

BlueBrixx did a licensed Nostromo some time ago, I think.

I don't know if its a scam, they probably are using the bricklinks instructions and selling knockoff bricks, Iv heard that though aliexpress is mostly bad quality knock offs there are very few flat out scams.
