>>10343867>Just looking at pics of MOCs and trying to reverse-engineer themI don't think that's what happens
MOC's on Rebrickable have an entire parts list and an instruction guide. You buy it for $5.
Sellers just lift them both and sell the bundle together at a markup.
It's convenient but also shitty because whoever made the MOC will only see 1 sale. I guarantee you most of the sellers won't be able to provide support if anything goes wrong with the MOC, they've never even built it.
>>10343863This was on AliExpress, I suppose it's hard for me to imagine they paid but it's interesting that it does happen.
I asked the seller by giving them the brickable link and they said it's the same model but just tweaked.
There are 2 main differences I can see but the actual MOC looks better than the sold one. How easy do you think it would be to get the proper parts needed here or should I ask /lego/ that?
