Can someone who buys Lego replicas from AliExpress help me understand something?

Can someone who buys Lego replicas from AliExpress help me understand something?

So I just got into Lego. Bought a $35 dollar Lego set (Back to the Future) from Best Buy and had a good experience with it. But I'm looking into something larger this time. I'd like to try a Lego alternative and see what the experience is like and see if the cost savings are worth it.

I was looking at this Millennium Falcon replica. Unfortunately this group does not allow links so I can't provide that.

But here a some screenshots. There are 4 options (DF1, DF2, DF3, DF4). It looks like they correspond to different colors. But when I click on each of them, the only thing I see changing is the price. The pictures and descriptions all look the same for each one. I captured a screenshot for only 2 of the 4 options.

As I've never really purchased from AliExpress, can someone help me out and tell me what I should be seeing and how to understand how this works? I see the same kind of behavior on other products as well.

Thanks.

Anyone know why they do this at self-scan terminals?

Was at my local Costco tonight. Has two lanes for self-checkout. Three terminals per lane. Left lane was full. Right lane had one terminal empty. Nobody in line. So I walked up to the empty terminal to scan my item. Costco staff there said that he needed to scan my items for me. Or I could wait for the left terminals to become empty. Anyone know why they do this?
