Republic Bricks Reviews 158

I have been an ongoing customer for a few years. RB is unique from other brick selling websites in that it does a lot of work for you. Most sites show you the concept design, provide the parts list, and the instructions. RB sells the bricks as well, with reasonable prices and good customer service. The mods are appealing, the minifigure selection is always creative, and the communication between RB and the customer is constant. As a returning customer and LEGO fan, I highly recommend Star Wars LEGO fans to follow, and enjoy the experience of REPUBLIC BRICKS.

Shipping can take some time but man the sets well worth the wait! Recent a gunship based on the custom ARC Trooper Muun from the animated micro series and it DID NOT DISAPPOINT! Solid design and looks amazing.

Shipping dates claimed on the product page have rarely been right, but the sets all look great and have all their pieces. My favorite has been the Classic Republic Frigate.

I’ve ordered from RB several times, usually mystery boxes and minifigures. I’ve never been disappointed, the mystery boxes are a fun way to spice things up and all the minifigs I’ve bought are phenomenal in quality and looks. I would recommend republic bricks to anyone looking for Lego Star Wars additions that Lego won’t make that greatly improve one’s collection.

The item I originally ordered went out of stock before they could update the website, but they not only compensated, they also went above and beyond. They made the two sets that I got match, even tho one of them was a mystery box. I’m not sure if this was on purpose or not, but nonetheless I love it

Republicbricks is probably the best after market Lego dealer, bar none. You cannot beat their quality and their prices1

Honestly pretty good experience and also good products, got thw shadow at ot and it looks great, cane with all of the peices and wasnt too overprices for what i got it for 140$

RB has a lot to offer. Lots of room to find something special for your Lego collection. I purchased a few mystery boxes and landed two free sets. I spent 50 ish dollars on 5 mystery sets and got one set valued at over 140. Instant profit! There was a mixup and I didn’t get a republic gunship and instead I got a mini V-19 torrent. I emailed their help email and the ceo emailed me before the end of the day and was very helpful. About to buy another set right now!

My experience with republic bricks has been excellent so far, shipping comes perfectly and their figures are amazing!

I like republic bricks don’t get me wrong but I’ve gotten a lot of sets with missing pieces. I’ve had to go out of my way to order replacements on bricklink to finish said set.

Also, I’ve entered in a couple dozen mystery boxes. I haven’t seemed to get a big set yet. Even the recent gunship mystery box. I was so hopeful to get a full gunship. I didn’t care the coloring and I get the smallest one possible.

Love that the guy is doing it out of his house with his family but I’m just disappointed in the quality and mystery boxes.

Aside from the occasional missing piece, I have always had a great experience from republickbricks.

Dude is pretty much paying people to write good reviews

Republicbricks is a quality company
Republicbricks is a quality company, seeking to provide quality service, products, and to make it right if anything happens! I’ve gotten great products and I trust that they will continue to perform above and beyond in creating the best products!

I was going to hold my tongue but now that Timmy is trying to buy positive reviews offering 25% off in exchange for a 5 star review, here to give some insight into what this “company” actually is.

1. Fake giveaways - has been using the same photo of the cloud city 10123 set for multiple give aways over the past year. And the tagged “winner” accounts are dormant accounts with no interaction with Republic Bricks.

2. 3+ months shipping - prepare to wait forever if you order from them. Truly despicable how they think it’s okay to ship items months from the order date and that you have to be okay with it. I waited over 4 months for one order. But it could be a pre order you have to wait for? That preorder date is almost certainly a lie. The preorder date came and went. I reached out to customer service and they gave me a new shipment date to look forward to. This happened 3 separate times before I finally requested to cancel my order.

3. Horrible customer service - continuing from my previous point, you think if a company had missed 4 promised shipment dates they would respect your request to cancel your order right? Wrong. They ignored my emails and I had to file disputes with the credit card to get my money back. They refuse to do anything to accommodate customers and think they are always in the right. And if they make a mistake? Their response is, we are trying our best and you need to deal with it. Flat out ignoring customers after failing to deliver an order for 4 months is unacceptable.

4. Mystery boxes - first off, everyone should know by now that mystery boxes overall are a scam. So some blame is apportioned to people who buy them in the first place. But the mystery boxes at Republic bricks are especially bad. All they are is ways to get rid of sets and inventory no one wants. Timmy used to just repost every tag on his insta story but he’s wisened up now because when he would do that, it was extremely easy to see that a lot of people were receiving the same set around the time each specific mystery box would go out. Now he doesn’t repost the mystery boxes but you should know, if you order it, you’re getting trash. Furthermore, you’re not even guaranteed to get something that’s listed on the website. I have seen people get “sets” (if you can call them that) that weren’t even listed for sale they were so bad. I could write an essay on how much of a scam these mystery boxes are but I’ll stop here.

5. You aren’t guaranteed to get your order - republic bricks reserves the right to cancel your order or part of your order at any time, so even if you purchase it and it says in stock, there’s no guarantee you get it (ironic they can cancel your order when they feel like it but you can’t cancel under any circumstances). Also, I have received 2 orders: one in which they flat out didn’t include purchased items and one in which they sent a different set to the one I ordered. They included a note saying the one I ordered wasn’t in stock and but the replacement one was just as good. (Spoiler alert, it was all black while the one I ordered had colors and it sucked). No partial refund or anything to make up for sending incorrect orders.

6. Zero quality control - every set I and others have received is missing pieces and their response is to go use brick link (I don’t want to pay more for a set you claim is complete) and a lot of the bricks are scratched and discolored.

7. Overpriced - self explanatory.

I hope to someday find a more public platform to share the details and proof of my claims here and prevent other people from wasting their money, but hopefully a few people see this and I save their hard earned time and money. I have more trust in a street vendor selling Rolex’s in New York.

Here to support RB!
If you're buying "Mystery Boxes" and expecting to be the one lucky person that gets a UCS set by buying a single mystery box, you would be sorely disappointed. You're not supposed to know what you're going to get AND every mystery box on the website has a list of all the possibilities in the descriptions, shipping dates, as well as a link to Bricklink for a FULL LIST. However, always expect smaller orders to come in smaller packages. It's exactly the same as a lot of people have said on here, you get what you pay for and if you buy a $10 mystery box and only that, you're going to get $10 worth of lego. Sometimes, poeple do get lucky with more than they paid for every now and then, and THAT'S THE POINT: not everyone is a winner. I've been lucky once with my mystery box purchases, but i never expect anything huge from Mystery box because that's not the point to his site, it's not why he made his website, he made it so that he could SELL Designers' MOC's WITH lego pieces so that you, the buyer, can be a little bit more lazy and not have the need to go on bricklink and part those instructions out IN DIFFERENT COLORS yourself. So in hindsight, If you want to get your money's worth of Lego Sets from RepublicBricks, then buy an actual set from their website, not a mystery box, and I promise you wont be disappointed. Prices on the sets on his website are higher than that of LEGO® BECAUSE;
ONE: different colored bricks cost different prices-sometimes lower, but often times higher.
TWO: he has to conpensate the MOC builder's that create the instructions for ALL the sets on his site. HE DOES NOT DESIGN THEM ALL. So, cut RB some slack, and support the MOC Builder's as well by buying from Republic Bricks like I do and just have fun building something that LEGO® themselves haven't made.

wasn’t a bad experience overall ship times were a little long but its like that sometimes

I am always so hopeful for RB. Has some decent looking sets that Lego doesn’t make or sell anymore. The sets themselves are way overpriced. I have gotten a few mystery boxes and most of the sets I have received are poorly designed and not close to being worth what I paid. Getting a big “UCS” set seems to be quite the scam. One time, I had a major piece broken apart into 3 pieces upon arrival. I don’t report and ask for them to deliver missing pieces because I know it will take another month. Also, quite often they will post on Instagram how busy and way behind orders they are, complaining about working crazy hours. But the next day, they are posting new sales and deals that suckers like me go for, creating way more orders. I have rarely had an order take less than a month to arrive at my house. I send emails asking for shipping data and they do reply with shipping dates, but it doesn’t end up being correct. They need to slow down and catch up on current orders before creating new listings and deals. This could be something great. Please fix.

Dont let the one star reviews turn you away , people can't read.
The description tells you if it ships right away or if it's a pre-order.

Great service, and pretty cool sets. I love the discord community and the mystery boxes. Obviously not always going to hit a high value item each time but when u do it's great. Great team , always able to answer my questions

I know seeing a lot of low star ratings but i had gotten a small walker, two figures, a mini scale gunship and multiple Jedi interceptors but i like those since i can add them but i would be happy to get an actual big size set from the mystery boxes but thats why they're called mystery boxes because you don't know what you're gonna get. I cant wait to get a big set in one of the mystery boxes soon
