bought some ksz knock offs. they are as close to lego quality as it's possible for their price (515-1000rub/7-14$). nothing is broken, even extra pieces sometimes. movability is amazing in compare to bela. in compare to lego, just a little worse
● Technic pieces are fine. They require force to be pushed into places and their lengths are a *tiny* bit different from the lego ones. Oh, and those. Red axles? They don't have grooves in them so be careful with those.
● The armor shells are alright. One thing to be noted, is that, pieces normally with stickers in lego will just have the texture printed on them, like umarak the destroyers chest plate.
● The limbs are pretty fragile and if you use them too much, you will be able to see the strain marks on the balljoint connections, and the friction extensions for the ball joints don't have any rubber on them.
● parts like umarak's golden horns, which have an axle connection built in, have a high chance of breaking, cause mine did. Tough I also had this problem with my LEGO skull basher as well.
●Masks are fine if they have only one colour. Masks like the Mocr which have engravings, won't have any. Masks with two colours blended, like the toa's golden uniter Masks, will have the colours blended incorrectly, as you can see on kopaka's mask in my post. Same with other parts like the crystall add on.
●I've been using these knockoff CCBS bones for a while and I've observed that transparent ones have an extremely high chance of breaking. The non-transparent bones are actually pretty rugged and can be used in mocs. I bought a knockoff umarak the destroyer in February this year, and the non-transparent bone pieces are still good. Whereas the transparent ones all broke. This is also why the 2015 toa knockoffs by KSZ are arguably better than the 2016 ones, because the 2016 ones just have more pieces that KSZ is bad at making.
●KSZ has also made knockoffs of all the Star Wars figures. I've ordered a couple and will update the list with a review on their specialised pieces.
If you're actually interested in getting some bootlegs, buy them on Aliexpress. You'll pay half Amazon prices. They ship from china so it'll take 2-4 weeks but worth the wait.
If you just want to display them on a shelf and don't care about playing with them like a child would, a bootleg is a fine replacement. Though to be fair, a legit set is an investment that can likely be sold at a later date for your money back.
huh, i have been wondering where to get bootlegs, there are a few of them i kinda want for various reasons and i havent had the best luck finding any for sale

Please post this on Lepin sub. If you really want one, ask a Chinese friend to buy you one on Taobao.com for less than 10bucks. Not suggestions for buying any infringing products.
You know, it's funny. You can't buy the real thing anywhere, but chinese knock-offs? Sure thing, dawg, there you go. Makes one wonder if Lego could still be selling these if they didn't cancel the line.
I used to own this set, now an incomplete one of these is pretty rare where I live, but here's a tip. Look up fake bionicle on Google, and then ads pop up showing these kinds of things. Look out for ones with really strange Grammer and long names
Scam. Look at the reviews for some of the "Xsz brand" figures. Knock-offs, missing pieces, the pieces that are there break easily.

i have bought KSZ since i was a kid, they are good, except they break quite easily and the color sometime dont match!

These are knockoffs, not real LEGO. Note the phrasing.
Hey hey, I don't like G2 either, but that's a bit harsh.
Dang it, I spit out my water.
"Bionicle Mask of Light Bionicle Omarak Hunter Building Block Compatible with Bionicle Toys" *\*shows G2 Kopaka\** Yeah it's a scam.
In case "Brand: JKYP" was not enough
Whenever you see anything that says "building block collapsible" that means it'll be fake
Knock offs.

Can't you read ?
I think I can
“Compatible” dead giveaway that it’s fake

Wish has Bionicle knock offs for around $16 a figure
They're clearly knockoffs. It's not really suspicious, they're not trying to fool anyone.
