Brick-Ops - vending machine lego-like toys

[ChristheElder]

saw these last night at walmart in a vending machine. thought they looked kinda cool but didn't have 3 quarters and didnt want to go back in line to break a dollar.


anyway, i thought maybe some of you may be interested.
this place has lots of 250 on sale...

Hmmm. Interesting indeed, but I will go into it with no expectations on quality.

Meijer has them. The minifigures are barely articulated and really frail feeling. The knockoff LEGO minifigs from China are far better and competitive in price.

Very interesting.

Unfortunately, three quarters for a "minifig" is really telling of the quality.

[thegeo]

50 cents here... but again, I pay about 80 cents for knockoff ones from China, shipped, and they come with accessories and fully work with all LEGO stuff, and fit in as well as an official one. These quarter machine buggers... legs don't move. Arms move up and down like a LEGO, but hands don't swivel. They're good if you want neon-green statues that are semi-clear for a build, like a hologram projection. Otherwise, pass on them.

The figures and "vehicles" are totally bootleg quality. The weapons and gear sets however are rip offs of brick arms/other third-party stuff and they're actually pretty boss for the price!

i never expected the quality to be super high, they ARE vending machine toys. just thought that some may be interested.
i've never seen knock off lego figs, so thats all new to me.

Yea, you can get awesome accessory packs at most Toys R Us stores in America now, and cheap to boot!

Ever seen a booth win a TON of minifigures at a convention? Odds are they're all knock-offs from China. If you'd like I can send you pictures of our KO collection. They're pretty damn good for the price.

Yeah, I found some Brick Warriors accessories (maybe 5 or 6 pieces) for only $3!

It was a pretty good price, and the pieces honestly feel more sturdy than Lego.

Yea, I love the sets. I can't find the one I want with the plague doctor mask though
