it is up to you whether or not you want to support the counterfeit legos or not.

we can not decide that for you. we could only try to dissuade you from supporting counterfeits. but it is ultimately your decision alone.

Hm.... this is the first time I hear I about Lepin.
Googl'd it... Looks like they do 1:1 copies of Lego sets...- So Lepin blocks are compatible with Lego, I guess?
Before I decide for or against Lepin, I'd like to know where Lego product are made. And like... really made- not designed. IF Lego products are produced in some 3rd world country (Or basically any country where workers are being exploited), I'd go with Lepin. The price for Lego products are an impertinence and would only be justified if they produce their wares in a country where the fabrication workers are paid well.
Otherwise you'd just be paying for the brand.

If you're too cheap to buy legos, then just get megablocks, and build an AT-AT, instead of the set you got.

Worked great for me.
