THE MANTIS

High quality build. Looks incredible. Interior isn’t amazing but its decent. 1500 pc count roughly comparable in size to a UCS set. Fragile during construction but pretty sturdy once it’s all together, although I’d say it’s a display only set to avoid it falling apart while playing. Only issues were that 1: the set was missing several pieces (upwards of 15) and some incorrect pieces. I had to place 2 separate pick a brick orders with Lego to complete the build. And 2: the Shop app told me the set had been delivered before it even shipped, and although RepublicBricks was very responsive and provided me with updates throughout, I had no tracking at any point in the process. Overall I’m happy with it but my experience could’ve been better. 3/5

I placed my order on May 31st for a shipping period of mid June. It has now been pushed back three times to Mid September ship date. Nothing has been updated yet and I am being forced to reach out via email again. If I do not get an adequate response, I will likely have to cancel my order. Honestly this experience has been completely frustrating. I would not recommend using this seller for any Lego MOC sets. These delays and after reading other reviews for them, it seems like they aren’t capable to provide goods as some reviews say they never received the item or it took them almost a year to get it to them. Other reviews indicated that it was impossible to get a refund and cancel the order as the customer service began ignoring you and then just sent the item in a rush. Stay away if you want to avoid the headache of waiting forever on an item that you’ve already paid for.

Horrible communication Missing lots of brick
