Didn't send me all the items I bought

This guy deliberately sent me the wrong amount of items for a big order which he denied so I had to dispute it with Paypal for a return and after a lengthy process of proving my case I've finally received my hard earned money back. The seller was hostile throughout the process and he's a known scammer.

Timmy has a shady reputation with mystery boxes full of junk and as anyone can see on Trustpilot gives incentives to buyers to create fake reviews.

Scam and Rude

I have bought some different sets from this store. My latest purchase was a total of 4 UCS sets, which to anyone familiar, are usually the biggest sets, but yet again I recieve sets that aren't on the list of possible sets. I have recieved 3 "UCS" devilfish and a "UCS" crab droid, and Obi-Wans lightsaber hilt. The first package was advertised as a $300+ retail, but this crab droid is barely a $100 product. the 3 devilfish are NOT UCS quality, they're miniatures and the Hilt was from a "Laguna mystery box", and the hilt was not on the list, again. The owner will do anything to scam you out of your money, and if you complain, even with proof that it wasn't on the list, he will not assist you, he will be rude or ignore you. This guy has no respect for his customers.

Horrible product quality and shady business practices

Horrible product quality and shady business practices.

The set i bought stated same day shipping. Arrived 2 months later with no instructions and lots of cracked/worn/fake/missing pieces.

Trying to resolve my problem with Timmy was like pulling teeth. He was rude, unresponsive and just insufferable from the start.

Massive headache just to build a flimsy and poorly designed set with 20%+ of the pieces in unacceptable condition.

STAY AWAY! From what I’ve heard my experience is nothing compared to what some people have to deal with.

Do not buy from this scam artist

Do not buy from this scam artist. Everything he sells on his store is straight up stolen from other MOC builders. He refuses to pay his own workers or treats them like garbage, he will sell you a faulty product with used bricks that are not “new” despite what his website claims.

He’s also threaten an actual minor with a lawsuit and doxxed his home address when the kid complained about his shady giveaways.

First time ordering with Republic Bricks, Way Better Than People Say.

I have no bias towards this company Im just a 15 year old kid in highschool who took a risk and im here to leave a review. I recently just made an order with republic bricks and I was pretty sketch about them too, my order included 11x mystery custom minifigs (There was a deal and they were only 7 bucks EACH!?) and 2 mystery boxes of different values. 6 days later, YES only 6 days to ship it was very fast I received my package but it was small, when i opened up my package I received 11x AWESOME minifigs al had helmets some even had guns, and I received the GWP promo they were running but did not recieve neither of my mystery packs. So I did what the anyone would do and contact them, this is where my opinion on republic bricks was set in stone. THEY WERE SUPER HELPFUL, I mean every email back in forth was great, they were nice and looking out for my order and then they offered a refund or 4 items added on to my next order and after witnessing the awesome minifigs I had to go with the additional items. All im saying is that THEY ARE TRUSTWORTHY and THEY HAVE AMAZING LEGO, I can't believe this many people have had such a bad experience.

DO NOT BUY FROM

terrible experience with this company.

Jan 14th - placed an order of $65.94

Jan 18th - contacted support as I hadn't received any info on the shipping. I was told that my Ship date was set for Feb 7th.

Mar 1st - they said it was shipped (finally)

Mar 6th - I contacted support again, and I was told that ups "lost" the package and they would be sending a new package free of charge. free of charge for a package they. ever shipped and that I had been waiting months for.

April 1st - I finally received the (very small for $65) package.

I would never recommend this site for anyone. their customer service is terrible. their products are a ripoff. just buy off ebay or other sites.

So I have had a mixed bag with RB

So I have had a mixed bag with RB, some of the figures have been nice and my son has enjoyed them, and others not so much, we recently order some "mystery clones" with helmets, when they arrived (we are in the UK) so you can imagine how long they took to get to us, they were infact printed on the head of the lego figure, spent a fair bit on these and they are trash, son is very disappointed, thought we would give one more try, ordered ponch with +1 fig, reviewed the order after and now says no fig and its just the poncho, so that will.be a month to arrive with more dissapointment ready for my boy

Buyer Beware!!!! Expect Much Stress!

Major buyer beware! I had my kids pick out a few items on RB as part of their Xmas lists. I bought a few items on Thanksgiving during their big sale. None of the items said pre-order and all appeared like they’d ship soon. Boy was I wrong. Two weeks go by and I email them to ask, and the owner lies to me and says two of my items were pre-order. I went back and forth and argued. Then he confessed that they were back ordered which he treats as the same thing. Seems like they took way too many orders during November and they couldn’t fulfill many of them at all!

I was told my 4 items would ship by the end of December, so Xmas was now out the window. A week into Jan, of course they hadn’t shipped. I questioned RB and was given the typical “looks like they got lost, we’ll send another package”. Somehow a few of the items arrived in Feb, but both sets were missing pieces. It took another 5-6 emails to get my remaining sets to ship, and of course there were missing pieces on those too. Every single day since I made the purchase, I was assuming I’d get scammed. Not a great feeling at all! I will NEVER buy from Timmy again. Not worth it at all!

IT IS A SCAM! DO NOT BUY

IT IS A SCAM!! Do not buy!! Do not waste your money on items that YOU WON'T GET. I have been waiting for a kind-of-a-lego toy for my son for almost 2 months. I contacted the "company's" customer service, which now have ghosted me when I asked for a refund. For the past month I have been asking for the toy, but Customer Service said it would ship March 4, which has NOT. Customer service and Timothy Sterkel, who identified as the owner of Republic Bricks, said that it got "lost" and that it had been shipped again. However, based on USPS, Republic Bricks NEVER cared to ship it. The past week I have been asking for a refund and an update, but these people have ghosted me. I am filing a claim to my credit card and to the FTC.

Unbelievably disappointing

Unbelievably disappointing. Poor logistics (no shipment update for over a month then I email them for an update and magically package shows up that week.) four mystery boxes ordered, you would think at least one mystery pack with be substantial, nope - got ONE tiniest, smallest box ever. You will most certainly be disappointed.
