Sheng Yuan Space Wars "Tie Interceptor"

Sheng Yuan "Space Wars" sets are Star Wars Clones releases -  SY309, SY310 and SY312 are all named "Tie Interceptor" on the box. All are bootlegs from similar original Lego set.

In actual SY 309 is General Grievous Wheel Bike with Obiwan but without General Grievous (unlike the original set from Lego),  Comes together with quite a number of Technic parts, quite a confusing built with 272+ pcs. 3 small part missing, do not know if it is due to my side or not, but no big deal as the extra (different) parts from this and previous set can replace them. Somehow the instruction is a bit wrong. Like the way the wheel spins. Although having the most piece counts between the 3 boxes, but the finished model is not that big.

Obiwan and Darth Revan
SY310 is the Vulture Droid with a Neimoidian™ Warrior mini figure plus a Buzz Droid™ and a Pilot Battle Droid™ figure. Come with a few Technic parts but lots of stickers to stick.Total piece count 221+ pcs and equipped with two spring loaded shooter. Did not encounter any missing parts. Maybe due to the Technic joints, the wings is a bit wobbly but still will not fall off.

Finally SY312 is the V-Wing Starfighter with V-Wing Pilot™ and an Astromech Droid™ from Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith. With just 211+ pcs, some stickers and no Technic parts, but it is the biggest model when completed. This set is also equipped with two spring loaded shooter. Quite solid for a SY, and all parts are available and intact.

There are total of  700+pcs of parts for the 3 boxes combined, but it just took half a day for my kid to finish building all of them. When the interest is there, things gets done faster. There's also SY311 Battle on Saleucami set compatible with Lego 75037, which I got it a week after (pre GST day - damm long Queue due to I got in from a dept store). Having just 189+ piece count, hence it is cheaper than the rest of the "tie interceptor' series.
At first I find this set a bit small and sort of like a battle pack, but somehow Lego did not make this as a battle pack set. After assembly, turn out the vehicle is quite nice.  It features a speeder (approx 5") with new spring-loaded shooter, a STAP and a Droid defense station. Minifig includes a BARC Trooper™ with blaster, 2 Battle Droids™ and 2 Super Battle Droids™. Nice add on to my Star Wars  collection, and for someone who want to build an army of droids, this is a cheap option. Somehow when Lego gives droids as part of the mini figures in a set, we really feel a bit cheated. For me, droids do not really falls into the mini figure category.

Got money? Can buy an Army

  1. Thanks for the review. From the illustration pictures, can see that the model looks almost close to the original, apart from Darth Revan, but still it is a good mini figures.

    1. Most of them I bought from a street peddler in a night market. Anyway, I saw them selling at department stores (small scale store), shopping center tenants as well as stalls inside malls.

    1. Believe you are referring to Gen Grievous Wheel Bike. Only the short one can shoot (push flick missile type, not spring loaded) but do not really function well (tight). The other 2 longer ones are just the model's blasters.

    5. You can read my old post titled "2014 Year of Bootleg Lego - Bootlego" on Dec 31st 2014 and you will see in one of the picture (SY Iron Man wave 2) showing how most of my minifigs are kept. But quite a lot are scattered inside a cabinet together with the big sets. Since my kids are playing with them, some will be just lying around.
      That Lucky Strike casing is good, but I don't think I will be able to get one of those.
