Lego figure knockoffs

[KrystalS]

I saw a post of FB today about Lego mini figures. DS loves Legos but we have SO many right now I don't even have a place to put anymore. He doesn't really care much about the big sets right now but he LOVES the figures, like all kids I'm sure! I guess they sell knockoff minifigs? I had no idea. I'm not expecting Lego quality but are they decent?

I cant say about those sets but this set http://www.amazon.com/VDproTM-Lot-Mi..._bxgy_21_img_z we have and they are darn close to exact copies. The plastic feels slightly different buy my 2 lego lovers cant really tell.

Has anyone found a set like this with girl minifigs? I just searched a few ways and didn't find any. I'm thinking these would be fun to give out at Halloween - we only get about 30 kids most years.

I had no idea these existed. Thanks so much for asking. I'm definitely going to try them out for my Lego mini figure obsessed 6 yo.

Wow! Haven't seen them but the price is sure great! Thanks for point them out. At least for my three year old, these would be great!

Wow!! Any building sets? (Cars airplanes boats etc?)

I'm going to be the voice of dissent here and just say wow, I can't believe so many people want to support bootlegs like that. If you want more minifigs there are a lot of LEGIT sources of people who buy and sell and trade legit products like bricklink.com I was looking there to get a replacement item after I managed to vacuum something up and had that site recommended to me. I know it is legit as it was recommended to me by a friend who is employed by Lego.

I didn't realize until clicking on the first link above that these were the mini figs my cousin got DS for a gift. I thought they were legitimate LEGO minifigs.

I have used bricklink too. Both to replace pieces lost in childhood and for individual pieces since in sets I was not as interested in. It is like ebay -- all dependent on the individual seller. But I've mostly had great experiences.

Help me out here. For starters, I do not want to buy bootleg anything. That said, Last month I bought a set of mini figures off amazon. They were not marketed nor labeled as Lego. I thought I was in the clear so long as I wasn't buying something labeled as genuine.
