Instructions are easy to follow and brick condition was great

I found RBs website a few months ago & honestly have had some issues with orders but RB always responded through Instagram for me. Like others stated if you only buy mystery boxes & expecting huge value when spending 5-10 bucks might as well buy 5-10 of them for your chances to be higher. I jumped on here just to support RB with all the negative reviews. As well haven't had one shipment extremely late I always check when they ship. Lastly always check his Instagram for news as well. Will regardless still buy from RB! He even upgraded one of my orders that I spent about 20 dollars & got a $200 V19 V2 Torrent! You can get lucky sometimes! Best KiNGAlphaTv

I have bought too many times to count from RepublicBricks. Sometimes items take time to get all of the parts in and kit together on his end, but once they are ready he ships them out asap. If you only order mystery boxes here and expect to win the big option for that box... You're just putting yourself up for failure. I've always been happy with RepublicBricks because if you have an issue with your order, you can email them directly and get it solved within a day or two. I will continue to buy from RepublicBricks as long as I need a custom set he has.

Overall I purchased items from Republicbricks for roughly $70 total, all of these mystery boxes and all of them were medium-sized or small, but none were disappointing. I honestly don't understand why people get mad, most will obviously not receive a 1000$ set for spending 5.

Mystery Boxes weren't honest or transparent. I purchased with the assumption that anything I could receive would be something that was purchasable on their site. Instead, I got a micro-scale item that is impossible to even know exists as you can't find that item on the site. Impossible to know what you can even get, even when they give you a list of possible items you'll receive. Expect disappointment. Also, customer service is quite rude, instantly on the defensive and calling me "absurd"

If I could give zero stars, I would. I ordered from RepublicBricks despite some of the hate because I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt. I purchased some mystery custom clones and when I received them, they looked nothing like what was advertised. No helmet, parts did not seem to be official Lego like advertised and the printing was smudged and came off pretty easily. I was extremely excited to get this package. I am disappointed that the scathing reviews are completely true.

if i could give this company negative stars - i would. numerous issues with the instructions, and when asked, the reply is almost always - "you did it wrong". cheapest possible "mystery sets", and quite a few non lego parts. pay close attention to the parts!

My biggest gripe is with the shipping. It’s not the fact that the “pre-orders” that make you wait more than a month are not clearly displayed (It’s usually near the top around the description and disclaimer in the same font, size, and color, making it hard to find). It’s the fact that “Same Day Shipping” apparently just means that he’s going to make the shipping label within 24-hours, not that your product is actually going to be in the mail by then. In other words, if you buy a “Same Day” product on Monday and select “3-Day Shipping,” don’t expect it to be at your house by Thursday. It’s probably going to be at least a week or longer before it’s on the road. As for the products themselves, the builds are good and fun to put together. You’ll occasionally find a missing or mismatched piece. I’m usually more forgiving of this than most since I know that they’re sorting through literally thousands of LEGO pieces by hand. When this happens I’ll either look in my own collection or go through brinklink if I have to, so I’ve never tried to get a product correction from them. I’m probably not ever going to try considering how long it takes for regular shipping. As for the mystery boxes, I’ve personally had more of a mixed bag results from them. I’ve had a few decent sets that I didn’t think I’d enjoy but ended up liking, and I’ve got a few stinkers. The main thing to remember when ordering is that they’re just using this as a way to off-load their unused inventory. Some people make this out to be some sort of scandal or con that they’re trying to run, but it was pretty obvious to me before I even ordered my first one. Is it misleading to say that you could end up getting a big-ticket, UCS-level set even though only like 1/1000 might end up with one? Yes, but that’s how most lootbox/gacha games are anyway, so again, I, personally don’t feel too ripped off when I don’t get one of the items that I really wanted. My advice if you decide to go the Mystery Box route: check the potential listed items, find the cheapest/least appealing set on there, and decide if you’re comfortable paying that much for it because there’s a greater than 0% chance that’s what you’ll end up with. Also, check to see if there are any mystery box options that don’t list a product that you already have. That way, if and when you end up with the smallest, cheapest set, it’ll at least be a new experience. In conclusion, always remember that this is essentially just a 3rd-party vendor, not a proper product distributor, so you should expect that sort of quality in regards to the customer service and products themselves. Personally, I usually wait between official LEGO Star Wars waves to order from them when I’ve run out of actual sets to build.
