I ordered the UCS mustafar set that came with a $100 mystery gift. Upon arrival the bags were about 25% organized completely by color, there was no QR code for instructions so I had to reach out, and the $100 mystery gift was a $8 clone trooper with the incorrect hands and a Christmas tree attachment. They advertise this as a 1/1 because the pieces don’t go together when they were officially released by Lego lol. That way they can still act like it’s $100 value because it’s for sure 1 of 1! It just has several incorrect pieces thrown into a bag to form a minifig. I could go to my local LEGO store and do the same thing and call it 1 of 1. The mystery boxes are a scam. It’s all over these reviews so please don’t waste your time on those. Now to the set build. The instructions are decent for a MOC (after receiving them through email) build and the set has a beautiful design. On the other hand, the integrity of the build throughout is sub par as lots of the pieces are damaged or missing. Personally I was missing 24 pieces. Lucking I had spare ones from older sets but for anyone wanting to complete it the first go around you will have an incomplete build. They offer replacement pieces but as always the shipping is horrendous as stated by nearly every review. So you’d complete what you could of the build then have to wait another month or two for the missing pieces. Customer service is horrible. Every reply gets nothing accomplished and they try to make you feel stupid for reaching out in the first place. They are extremely disrespectful and do not offer any real help or solutions to the issues with your order. All in all ONLY purchase a set if it is something that you are willing to endure a lot of headaches over. I am happy with my build but only because it gives me an amazing amount of nostalgia.

To start, those who are complaining about getting "scammed" are using the wrong word. I won't be addressing the questionable behavior of the owner, Timmy, in this review. If you want to know about it, look up RB on YouTube and learn for yourself. My experience started with mystery boxes back in 2022. Buying a mystery box IS gambling. Would you accuse a casino of scamming if you wasted your money on a slot machine and didn't win a million dollars? Scamming would be if you paid for an item and you never received anything. I unfortunately spent money on a couple of mystery boxes before realizing it was a waste of money. The sets I got were good, but I only ended up wanting to keep one or two things. Quality control also seems to be an issue. I think out of the couple of sets I got, I ended up with a couple of either missing or incorrect pieces. In their terms and agreements, they do say that not all the pieces they send are NEW and some may be worn. The shipping seems somewhat unreliable. They tell you one date, and they only follow up on it for one order, if I remember. So don't expect fast delivery. The other frustrating aspect is their customer service. I see that others seem to get in touch with the owner via Instagram, but I do not use Instagram much, so it's far more of a hassle to get a hold of them via email. When I found missing pieces, they don't offer any services other than taking the amount of money you spend on replacement bricks off of your next order from them. Ultimately, while it seems like a good deal upfront, you might just have a better time building custom sets on your own rather than going through the hassle of dealing with RB. I'm sure there's a lot of folk who had a fine experience with them, but I can't really recommend them without warning at least.

I ordered a custom set back in July, It took over 2 months to arrive. After spending over £200 I had to pay an extra £48 in customs fees just to have the set delivered. RepublicBricks were slow to answer emails, if i did get a response it was usually only a few words. I still haven't physically got the set so hopefully I have an enjoyable building experience when it finally arrives, however based on my experience so far I highly doubt it. I would strongly recommend not purchasing from RepublicBricks.

Ordered 14 of a clone trooper mystery bag and another 4 mystery clone bag, the 14 were ALL the SAME regular p2 clone troopers, and the 4 other bags were all regular p1 clones, then ordered a "mystery" ucs set with a custom mini fig and ofc got a micro set because they don't actaully give out andything other than micro sets even thought it's advertised as possible ucs and tons of different scales. i've nevr seen anyone actually get anything other than a shitty custom and a micro set

Don't waste your money.💵

I have ordered from them numerous times and after every experience, I am disappointed. From wrong brick tiles, to receiving the occasional non-LEGO brick tiles, to disappointingly fragile builds, receiving incorrect orders, and finally misleading marketing, I’m done. I know they seem like they offer something attractive, but I’m always disappointed.

I am always so hopeful for RB. Has some decent looking sets that Lego doesn’t make or sell anymore. The sets themselves are way overpriced. I have gotten a few mystery boxes and most of the sets I have received are poorly designed and not close to being worth what I paid. Getting a big “UCS” set seems to be quite the scam. One time, I had a major piece broken apart into 3 pieces upon arrival. I don’t report and ask for them to deliver missing pieces because I know it will take another month. Also, quite often they will post on Instagram how busy and way behind orders they are, complaining about working crazy hours. But the next day, they are posting new sales and deals that suckers like me go for, creating way more orders. I have rarely had an order take less than a month to arrive at my house. I send emails asking for shipping data and they do reply with shipping dates, but it doesn’t end up being correct. They need to slow down and catch up on current orders before creating new listings and deals. This could be something great. Please fix.
