HSANHE 6209 - Creative

Once awhile there some brick brands that is quite good in quality. Hsanhe's fitting and plastic is quite consider good. The finish model have some loose parts (even SY have), but believe it is due what we are building, which here it is a SD Gundam typed of robot. Believe if we use this bricks to build a different design, it will be better
The outer box listed 4 in 1, where we can build three different design Gundam, and two different aircraft. Well, yes - we can build 4 design, but the catch here is we can only build them separately and not 4 at once.  Okay, we can build the 2 mini aircraft at the same time, but the SD Gundams have to be build one at a time. Yep - need to dismantle the previous before we can build another design, that is why they equipped us with two brick removal tool. If we buy another box, we can build a big Gundam.
The two aircraft - look like an X-Wing
The blue SD Gundam (Policewoman minifig for size comparison)

LELE 79025 Star Wars

I thought LeLe named their Star Wars releases as Star WarT, but this release actually have the STAR WARS in its original Font.
6 box set, 2 astromechs, 3 troopers and the one minifig Ahsoka Tano ; which I believe will be the "chosen one" people will only buy and ignore the rest of the 5s if given the option. Surprisingly Ahsoka came with dual faces, although it look almost the same, just a smirk difference. LeLe
The astromechs are one dark R2Q5 (don't see any other brand have this yet) and one simplified R2D2 looking astromech (kinda like R2D2 black series). Funny the astromech platform is a green panel with flowers. Well, LeLe is not well known for their printing, so, do not expect details.
Come, cross over to the Dark side......it's still green here
Troopers - good printing from LeLe
Aaahh.....Soka,(nicknamed Snips), with her dual light saber but without her signature lips

SY324 Rapunzel Tower

Long time did not buy any bricks, rainy season, street peddler did not open, or close early to avoid the rain. Got this set from a dept store, SY324. Kinda love the Disney cartoon movie.
This tower build has 316+ pcs, with most of the big pieces making up the tower walls. Those small pieces will make the items inside the tower, and there're really quite a number of them which really depicts the furniture inside the movie. What make this set more colorful is those stickers. Many stickers, and some made from alluminium foil. Most of the bricks toys is built by my kids, hence this set is quite a task due to the stickers,, and quite a number of "misalignment" and torn sticking. Anyway, let the kids do it.
Back Tower - the stairs is fordable

The tower - front view - Beautiful Garden

Come with two minifig, Rapunzel wearing the purple dress but without her long superhuman prehensile hair, SY only make her hair waist length, and Flyn Ryder with his goofy face. Great set for the girls to play.
Rapunzel and Flyn .... and Cameleon

LELE My World

LELE 6 box My World (Minecraft) latest release is good. I did not get the first release, as the set did not come to my area, yep, they are square and rare. LELE have been improving lately vs. their earlier "heydays". The highlight of this set is the Ghast. One Ghast alone contains around 60 pcs of bricks to build, hence it is a Worthy buy. It can even be consider as a mini building block set rather than a minifig release. The cool "fire" firing capability built in is great.
Minifig My Craft characters
The great Ghast  built vs. the simple Enderman built
Side and back of the Ghast, it's one Solid built. Notice the protrude head, this is the trigger pad to fire the mouth, real cool

SY357 AOU Hulk Buster

Finally, I bought this AOU Hulk Buster set., solely for the Hulk Buster figure as all the other minifigs included (Scarlet witch, Iron man, Ultron and Hulk) are same as SY AOU earlier minifig release, only the Hulk have spiky hair.  I really have too many repeated AOU minifigs.

Nice  Hulk Buster, but the waist area is a bit "less build"
Let's Dance ! 
You can pose Scarlet Witch hovering above the raging Hulk

SY360B Thor Mech

First of all, Happy Deepavali.
Bought this Thor Mech from a dept store, which is the B set of the Ironman mech SY360A. The mech is with Thor color scheme and carries a big Mjohir. The lab-base is similar to the Iron Man- Hulk base, only with Thor decal panel. Maybe the Avengers are having a mech making contest. Comes together with an Ultron Sentinel which I already have a few of them.
Thor Mech - Will be better if the base is different from the other mech releases
Come Banner!, Let's train like we use to.

ReadySetBuild - Let's Go to Shell to buy LEGO


Yep, Shell is coming out their LEGO® cars again. You can view this promo at the Shell website ,, no need to elaborate much here (it has been selling at other countries way since 2014). My kids will love the cars, but I am still thinking whether to get them. Anyway, I have set my sights on the station and podium.

Fiorano Shell Station
I think this is the first ori LEGO polybag I bought. This Fiorano Shell Station is modeled after the Shell station on Scuderia Ferrari’s Fiorano track in Maranello and comes with a Shell Fuels scientist  minifigure. Total 79 bricks.
The FI car can fit inside (note the car is not the current set release, but a Decool)
The gas pump is nice
Minions filling up gas

SY226A-D Ninja (with custom rides and structure scene)

Another SY Ninjago release, bigger box with "rides"vehicle and accompanying structure. Total 4 boxes comes to 300 piece counts. The Ninjas are similar to SY285 but with the correct head dress design. (no dual face)

SY226A
Jay with a Blue "Blade Jet" and accompanying ruin wall

SY226B
Kai with a Red "sword jet". The workable spring shooter is a good action play companion.

SY226C
Wrayth and his skinny multi-articulated dragon, nice wing color though.

SY226D
Nya with her flying Blade - Bike jet, which utilized the body of a motorbike. Nice arch with a Big Dragon logo.

SY288 Fant4stic

This SY288 minifig is based on the 2015 Fantastic4 movie where the main characters are much younger looking. Some of the minifig are unique, like transparent "invisible Woman" with side arm printing. The Thing do not have the usual Lego minifig shaped head, but has a 3D shaped face ((a bit long faced and without the stud on top ). No dual faces. Somehow, some of the minifig does not resemble the actors in the 2015 Fantastic 4 movie, especially Johnny Storm, but still it is close 70% close,... making the Thing with no pants will look, well.... "not so nice"
Again, each box contains some parts which can be made into a vehicle when combined - the bathtub hover.
Isn't the new Johnny Storm have darker skin? Dr Doom looks like a robot
Angry flying Human Torch, Fantastic in Space suit, The Thing - The Face, Invisible Women - can you see her?!
The Storm siblings enjoying the flying bathtub mobile (sorta like a bumper car huh!)

SY36iA Bruce Banner - The Hulk Mech

Bruce Banner need a mech? The Hulk can tear the Iron Hulk Buster apart with his hands. Anyway, I like this Hulk Mech. The color scheme is based from the AOU Hulk. Comes with a nice Bruce Banner (new minifig) and AOU hairstyle Black Widow minifig. Same lab base platform design as the Iron Man mech, only the transparent decal is now "Bruce theme". Some joints (articulation or non) can easily fall off compared to the Iron man Mech, so, glue it if wanna.
Nice Dr Bruce Banner minifig
Come Bruce, Let's go kick some ass!
The Main Event - Rematch
