I wanted one of these ‘floating’ ‘Lego‘ kits. They are NOT made by Lego, but use the same brick specification & architecture.
This kit, which I wanted, is only available from China. I, of course, checked Amazon.
They have it on eBay but the cheapest there was in excess of $60.
I could get it from ‘AliExpress’ at basically half the price.
I had never dealt with them & I was leery. Though I have owned JD.com & AliBaba (BABA) stock (& in the case of the former, still do), I was concerned that I might get scammed.
Yes, of course, I Googled. People say v. good things about them & their policies. So, I decided to give it a try using PayPal.
I placed the order on January 14, 2022. The order process is slick enough. Not perfect, but pretty close.
From that point on I got a SLEW of e-mail updates. I could even say that that was kind of like a negative. An e-mail a day! But, hey, they were being responsive & transparent.
They told me to expect delivery within a month.
I got it today — 2-weeks. The kit looks OK.
I am impressed. I might order a few more things. The prices are sure attractive.
I will keep you appraised. But, for now — two, big, fat thumbs UP.
