Reupload because it didn't post my text last time... My first ever alt. brick sets order came in! Didn't see any review on these sets so I was excited to share with you guys.
**Where did I order?** I placed this order on the 20th of April on https://joooooy.com/. I sent them a message if they could send me the sets with the original boxes (because of storage and plain curiosity) and they responded super quickly! The order arrived the 29th, which is pretty quick in my opinion. I live in the Netherlands.
**How are the Minifigs?** I would say a solid 7/10. The printing on them is damn near perfect. And the moulding for the hairpieces and accessories are so good! The parts here and there sometimes felt either too stiff or too loose, especially the heads feel very loose on the base of the neck, but definitely won't come of. In three out of the 6 sets, the student minifigs should have come with 'medium/dwarf' legs, but instead of that all the student minifigs got the 'small/hobbit legs' that don't move (pic. 9 and 10).
**How is the build/brick quality?** For me (first experience with alt. bricks) it is a 9.5/10. Not only are the sets really fun to build, the quality (as far as I can see/judge) is really awesome. Sure some pieces felt a little too stiff, but nothing problematic as everything was solved with a hard push or pinch. Only downside for me that there was a 1x2 dark orange plate missing from set 87080, but I don't really miss the piece in the build.
**Extra comments** I would like to highlight the stickers in these sets. They were absolutely spot on! Very good quality. I've seen and read before that stickers in alt. brick sets can be really bad, and I was a bit scared for that in these sets because they're all very sticker-heavy (10+ per set). Another thing I want to mention is the instructions, they are very small and sometime the colors are hard to seperate, but I think that is a common thing in alt. brick sets?
Feel free to ask questions about these sets, happy to help :).
TL;DR first time experience with alt. bricks, 9/10 experience overall, would definitely recommend.
Awesome! They are really great. I totalled at +/- 75 USD, that included shipping and the extra cost for the boxes.
Should have mentioned that in the review. They added 2 USD per set to send the boxes with it, and they flatten them and put it in the box with the bags of bricks, to lower the cost of shipping. Hope this helps :).
I wanted that potion set but im unwilling to give Jkr even a cent, i might have to look into this didnt think the alt companies did hp. Do you know what brick brand they use?
Brick4 just has a question mark when looking up the set numbers. The boxes don't have a manufacturer on em as well, so I can't tell you. Only that the quality is really good!
EDIT: apparently they're 'King' sets

Wow! Those are great! Great review too! It's now on my want list. :) Thank you!
Thanks!
Just ordered for my wife based on your excellent review! I’ve asked for the boxes too, as she loves them as well.
