DLP9010 Crystal Ninjago

First time bought this DuoLePin (DLP) brand. This brand has been out for quite awhile, but very seldom come to my area here. Consist of the usual Ninjago Gang (6 box set) in Airjitsu (quite close to NRG) variant, only they are in translucent plastic (hence the name Crystal). Printing detail is good, fitting is okay and no loose parts. Somehow I am finding SY is a bit too tight to assemble, especially the arm, but DLP is okay.
The minifigs come with a pair of Katana and igsinia plate which can glow in the dark. One thing with translucent figures, for me, I still like those non translucent type. But, this is what bootleg is good in, providing us with variants for our preference.
Actually, the torsos of the Ninja's are not translucent, only Wrayth's and Morro's are, maybe because these two are originally translucent as they are spirits, so, they are very close to non crystal minifig.
Cole, Wrayth, Morro
Zane, Jay, Kai
DLP also came out with a similar iron man series DLP 9011, but after long wait, did not come o my place.

SY280 Jurassic Park

Actually this release from SY is base on the characters from Jurassic World, although the Chinese word stated Jurassic Park. Most of the main characters are here. It is an 8 box set release, and one can actually build two dinosaurs from this set. Meaning, the two dino can be build if one purchase the whole set of 8 boxes. Of cause, you can buy four boxes if you just want to make one dino. Well, the dino is blocky compare to the one from LeLe, but, this is what bricks suppose to be. Good for those who like just want the minifig.
Dr.Wu (a bit tanned), Zach Mitchell, and ACU unit
This set with Owen below makes the green dino
Owen Grady (Chris Pratt) the Velociraptor expert comes with the most accessories
Vic Hoskins (top), ACU with Zap stick, Simon Masrani, Gary Mitchell (with smart phone)
This set makes the sand green dino

108 Rois-Démons

It means 108 Demon Kings in French. It is a computer animated movie directed by Pascal Morelli. The graphics is really captivating.  The movie tells the story of 12th century China with the murder of an emperor, a surviving price and those Heaven and Earth Warriors with menacing nick names. Since I am Asian, I am used to this type of story, but really surprised this movie comes from the French. What's your understanding on this phrase - "The way that is The way is not The way"

LELE Unfold Knights

Remember LELE's Unfold Knight release earlier? This time LELE release the actual Tenkei Knights bricks structure similar to the original. I only manage to get Phoenix Valorn out of the six releases. It lacks in detail, but my son really like this VERY much.

SY278 HK Police

Been awhile I did not get any new bootlego. Due to the thick haze, the street peddler did not open, or close early. Here's a Police set fro SY, to be exact, it is actually the Hong Kong Police force. This set follows those earlier army set releases, where one can get various weapons, but I think it is the same compare to previous. Anyway, good if want to add some police force to your CITY collection, with the vest on, they will look okay. Security is lacking these days...

Loz mini box mini block

Remember previously I bought a LOZ mini block set of a Gundam, which is gud-damm hard to stand after assemble ? Well, here is one of the mini box releases of similar mini block from LOZ. It is the character from TMNT Leo. Somehow, this mini box is quite an okay build, although some part easily fall off (design connection) , but still quite nice.There are actually a lot of characters to choose from. Bigger set even have buildings of famous architecture.
What the mutation???!!

Star Wars Snow Speeder microfighters

Bought the Lego version as well as the Bootlego version from SY. The Snow speeder is one of the more sort after model in the Lego microfighter2 series. This is the first set that I am able to make a "apple to apple" comparison. Outlook : Almost similar, both minifig have two faces. Build : SY some part is tight, some part is loose,flick missile is again a failure. Price : You can buy 3 bootlego and still have change. Get ready for "The Force Awakens"

SY268 Monster School

Definitely prettier than JLB's, but since the characters are still monsters, hence you will need to redefine pretty in another angle, anyway, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Basically, the cartoon characters still looks better.
Clawdeen Wolf, Cleo De Nile, Frankie Stein, Dracu Laura
Lagoona Blue, Venus McFlytrap, Abbey Bominable, GhouliaYelps
