Oh, so Lego has made many of those in lots of different colors. You can get them on bricklink for pennies apiece. No need buy bootLegos just for those.
Not to talk you out of buying boot Legos or anything. Because I’m a big supporter of the concept of expanding the parts catalog since Lego has abandoned it. But in this case those hands are plentiful without having to deal with AliExpress and the long wait times from overseas.
I was hoping to get the bootleg ones because they have the stronger 2011 ball sockets, all of the official lego ones have the 2008 sockets that break if you look at them too hard
That’s a good point. Although the bootLego versions have broken on me as well.
Whenever I’m buying these from bricklink, I order double the number. For example I just bought medium blue and dark red for some MOCs I have in mind. But knowing how easily they break, I bought 6 of each so that I’d have backups. I ended up paying $2.50 for 12 hands instead of $.80 or whatever.
