BILLUND – The LEGO Group today announced the completion of its $1.4 billion acquisition of China-based clone brand manufacturer LEPIN.

LEPIN is best known for copping plenty of hate from the Adult Fan of LEGO (AFOL) community by ripping off fan-made designs and ripping off LEGO designs in addition to various other intellectual property law violations.

The acquisition bolsters LEGO’s strategy of “looking East” and gives the Danish toymaker additional production and manufacturing bandwidth as it looks to expand its footprint in the lucrative Asian market.
