Well, I had been hoping that Lepin would release this one and I can say that the quality of this one - blocks and minifigures - is excellent. My daughter is very happy with the set. It's a shame that Lego doesn't produce these sets anymore, but there is a new generation of kids enjoying the books and their parents would no doubt buy the sets from Lego if they were still available in shops. But they're not except - the only avenue is via Bricklink for an obscene amount of money. Highly recommended set. No issues with it.
Yeah. Official TLG stuff are expensive as they are, but even more when they're retired sets already and collectors who sell unopened ones after months/years charge wayyyyy more + bricklink seems a hassle too and again expensive. I guess that's why Lepin and these other bootleggers are doing so well.
