MODERATORS
AreaX has a licenced SpongeBob Krusty Krab set that's actually really well made, well packaged and the instructions are on par with Lego. I bought one from the China warehouse with its full packaging (you can order without it for a bit cheaper) and it was a total of $117.
If you handed me the pieces and told me it was Lego, I'd believe you until I saw there wasn't "LEGO" molded into the studs.
Not really - the set actually has a cool, innovative feature. I feel like it has more technic in it than any Lego set, including the so called "technic" series. So you'd feel a natural disturbance, seeing how they did not butcher the license with horrible but IP protected figures, at least two missing walls and actually even put in LEDs - which you don't have to permanently hold down on.
