The LEGO GT3RS seems to be copied...

How complicated is it to build for someone who has never touched Lego in their lifetime. I grew up playing with playmobil not Lego.

I've looked up some review of this bootleg version of GT3RS and apparently, a lot of efforts went in to reproduce this replica and heard lots of good things.

i cant reach the site . i wonder if its my proxy or whether lawyers have stepped in. I imagine a corporation like Lego can afford some serious firepower.

It's somewhat easy to build but finicky and time consuming. It took me 16 hrs to build this set with normal bathroom, meals and kid interruptions.

If you go on the main Ali Express Website there are many, many clones in an array of colours with great "legoesque" logos if you squint.

I'm tempted at $80.00 intrested to see what the quality is like.
