Looks pretty good :smile:

It's very small

I've had one before, very tricky and challenging to build but still excellent price for something a little different. heat added!

Have some heat, welcome to HotUKDeals!
I doubt very much you'll get it in time for Christmas though (certainly at that price)!

gearbest typically take 3 weeks to deliver

Got this the last time. Son enjoyed building it.

Any reason why it's in $ ? Sure the bank will charge to convert and will postage take longer? x

there is a £ option

there's a box down the bottom of the page where you can change currency to £

ordered two of these last time they were posted as stocking fillers, arrived surprisingly fast and look great, well worth it!!!

If I order one now will it come before Christmas does anyone know?

I wouldn't bet on it.

Very long delivery times

I ordered this last time it was posted it took 5 weeks to arrive but canny for the price.

Wow seems a great deal, my younger son loves anything to do with minions
any idea how long they take to ship to UK, ive ordered 3

Very small pieces need a magnifying glass to decipher the instructions.

I purchased two on the last thread and they came 4 weeks later, they are very very small peaces but good little stocking fillers, providing you get it in time.

I ordered one the last time it was posted. Long but not horrendous delivery time, doubt it'd arrive in time for Christmas though. The box was also fairly bashed and crumpled in places. For the price though, it's worth a gamble!

I ordered two last time and to be honest the quality is rubbish. Not worth much more than £1 anyway...

On the Minion theme, just recieved a set of 5 large wall stickers (25cm-30cm) for £4.29 delivered from a ebayer seller called 'mobile range' this morning. Seem great - and you know kids and stickers!

Still waiting for our delivery orders 3 still not arrived (ordered in October!)

tiny pieces of very cheap plastic with poor quality of finish- better spend your money on chocolate

:smiley:

I would be very suprised if anyone got this before Xmas now, bought a small one after seeing it in here and took about 3 weeks to arrive. Just a heads up folks.

Trust me my wife loved putting this together,and it looks 3D sitting on shelf, great for 99p.

ordered last time and it never got sent, they said it was out of stock, but it was still in stock on their website. Still waiting to be refunded. AVOID!!

just ordered 10 for my nephew. He's Lego mad and he'll love to build all 10 (even though they're the same) and just have them on his table. Thanks for sharing.

christmas 2016

There is a rangeof them to make

I'm trying to buy using paypal, but cannot get free delivery - refuses to accept order unless I select a shipping option, either a fiver or sixteen pounds !

Ordered this at the slight higher price and it only arrived last week. Can't see it arriving before Xmas if you ordered now.

i dont think you would get before xmas but i ordered 3 different ones-darth vader and mario..both larger sets and under £2. Also got the lego build on mugs. Used paypal. Some things came in a week, some 2 weeks. All look fab. They send you an email when they send them with a pic of your parcel on so you would have an idea if they would be here in time?

Paypal is not always cheaper, for me foreign exchange + fees work out cheaper when I use my credit card.

One thing I hate about gearbest is their tracking info. I currently have two items "dispatched" but no idea where they are floating around because the tracking numbers don't work - I assume not really dispatched then :disappointed: I may have to rethink my custom after this lot is delivered.
 

Cool!

Be wary of this company

ordered one for 99p, ho[e it comes before xmas so can use as stocking filler

Checked out via PayPal 1.03 once converted. Still bargain

Minion

I ordered these last time they were up here and they took forever to come.

Great choking hazard

Ordered a mixture of 20 different ones from Gearbest last month , some on offer, some at sale price. I got a bag with ten boxes all the same of the sale price Minions, no reply from my mails to gearbest, have mailed them numerous times. suggest you dont order more than one sort of item at a time from them as they obviously cannot count and do not understand English with absolutely no customer support.

I ordered one last time around. looks good it is really small pieces. took shy of a month to arrive. good gift at good price

Both my bank cards add £1 plus 5% transaction fee to everything, so paypal is always cheaper for me ;-)

I've had some luck tracking on the below sites -
https://www.17track.net/en
http://www.oneworldexpress.com/

Gearbest used to be much better, you used to always get a photo of your package before it shiped, showing weight, declared value, and the actual courier they used. That sometimes happens now, but tracking is pretty useless now and always says undefined.

That heat. :confused:

I ordered these last time and they've never arrived!

Thanks OP!

My credit card Non-Sterling transaction fee is 2.99% (plus the foreign exchange rate they set on the day).


I use those sites also. 10 days ago I purchased two items from gearbest's EU wharehouse (in same basket). They sent me two tracking numbers, one starting with JD* from UKEXP (whatever this is), and the other starting with NL* from Netherlands Post. Tracking status for JD* is not found, for NL* changed to "Manfiest Generate" today. The NL* email has a photo of the package clearly showing its being shipped from China. What annoys me is that I chose the more expensive EU wharehouse option and they still sending from China - will they credit me the difference? We will see.

All this frustration to save what £20 off Amazon's price; no I don't need this frustration.
 

Not used them before but ordered 4 items and got a dispatch email this morning with photo of my parcel and tracking etc.
If it doesnt arrive in time for stocking fillers will be using them for kids birthdays later in the year.
Thanks OP for posting this! :sunglasses:

I ordered 2 of these weeks ago. When I checked they've sent them to a random address in a different town and refuse to reissue or refund. They say it's my fault !! Like I don't know where I live .? My advice -steer well clear

Great stocking fillers thanks op.

wasn't there a large number of bad reviews about gearbest or am I confusing it with something else?

Minion for 99p lol should buy 100 and make my own movie.

It's a good find but if they ship within 4 - 10 days I doubt it will get here for Christmas however as a gift for anything else it's a damn good price.

Nice

Can it be used with lego?

They wont be here by xmas as it takes them upto 3 days to get your parcel ready for dispatch
and they state Ships within 4-10 business days

generally we need 4-10 business days (excluding non-working days) for processing your order. The typical flat-shipping time is 10-25 working days.
Total Delivery Time = Processing Time + Packaging Time + Shipping Time There are some external factors which may cause some delay on delivery time,such as remote locations, peak shopping and shipping periods, holidays and festivals, inclement weather and delay by corresponding customs' operations and express company.

 
Make your own (larger version) if you already have the Lego pieces:



Or here in more detail.
 

Very tiny and extremely difficult to put together, not worth it.

I'm not a minions fan but this looks ace!

Bargain! Worth a shot.

Why are knock off products allowed to be sold on here?

Ordered 3 at £3.07

UKEXP is definitely from their EU (UK) warehouse, but I've never had anything take more than 3 days after dispatch to arrive.

I've just had the same thing happen with a split order between EU/CN warehouses, one UKEXP and one XFL Surface Mail. Also, they will sometimes switch source to CN if EU is out of stock, and their stock indicators are a bit off.

If you don't mind taking a risk, what I often do is find things in stock in EU, but then order at the cheaper CN price. More often than not it'll come from EU anyway because it's cheaper for them to send.

It's a good site, way better than Alixxxxxx and often cheaper, you just have to have reasonable expectations and hope nothing goes wrong, another reason to use Paypal when buying.

Thank you :smiley:

It says 100 pieces on the box, however after counting the number of pieces stated on the instruction sheet it came to 205 pieces. So even more fun! :smiley:

i still havent got mine

ordered 4 . some came last week. the final one yesterday.
