Wange brand Lego style Villa 34052 Building block Set Review

 

Hi again.  I have another building set to show you today.  This is 755 piece Wange Villa set 34052.

 It is almost a knockoff of Lego Creator set 4954 Town House.

After I built the house according to the Wange instruction booklet, I decided I wanted to update the location of the windows and doors.  In the above picture, I've added some extra details like the lamppost, the mailbox, the bicycle and some bushes.

Here's a side view of the house, which uses a lot of the smaller windows.

Another side view.

The back of the building is unfinished as per the set.  I guess you can add furniture pieces later.  You can see the height of the first and second floors from the two batman mini figures.  The original set came with a much larger baseplate and you could build a side yard and fence.  In my build, I used a smaller baseplate and didn't add the side yard.

A few more views of the side of the house.

This set was a much better build than Wange Villa set 32052.  That set had yellow brick walls whereas this set has tan bricks.  The Lego 4954 was discontinued a long time ago and now it costs a few hundred to buy it.  On the other hand this Wange set only cost me about $30 USD from AliExpress.  I liked this set quite a bit as it has lots of potential to make different buildings.  In fact, I might buy another one of these sets in the future.

Kazi Fire Station 8052 Building Block set Review (not Lego)

 I wasn't sure what to expect with this Kazi 8052 Fire Station.  I had previously built two fire vehicles made by Kazi and was overwhelmed by the smell of gasoline from both sets.  Luckily, this 300 piece set did not smell.  Also, I was impressed that the bricks fit together very well.

This set comes with two fire fighter mini figures and an emergency vehicle.  This fire station is part of Kazi's Fire Fight series.

This is how the assembled set looks according to the instructions.

I wish there was an instruction booklet instead of the one page sheet that was provided.  This is the front of the instructions.

Here's the second page of the instructions.

These are all the pieces that you get.  Ignore the light gray piece, somehow the lego plate got into the picture somehow.

Building the supports.

Cool little computer and mug.

Completing the first floor.

The garage bay with working roll-up doors.

Building the second floor of the station.

Two storeys done.  The door slides.

The third floor.  Another computer station.

Completed fire station - rear view.  See the water cooler on the second floor?

Completed fire station - front view.

Notice anything different? I rebuilt it so that it's the mirror image with the garage on the right side.

Mirror image build - rear view.

Nope you're not seeing a reflection.  I bought two of the Kazi fire station.  At some point in the future, I'm going to merge the two buildings into one.

Qiaoletong TS10100-05 Not Lego Security Guard Set Review

Sometimes you need to control access to your brick buildings, so here is a small set that contains a security guard and lift gate.  It's made by this unknown brand called Qiaoletong and has 27 pieces in total.

As you can see I already made some changes to the set.  I thought the security guard face was too tough so I switched to a friendlier face.  

The security guard has a walkie-talkie and a baton to wave traffic through.

The lift gate is black and yellow. I changed the base block also.

The lift gate stays up when you open it.

Here's the other side of the lift gate.

You get a little instruction leaflet.  This is the front.

And this is the back of the instructions.   You also get some stickers but I didn't put them on.

Brand: Qiaoletong

Set:  TS10100-05 Security Guard

Number of pieces: 27

Minifigs: 1

Would I recommend this set?  Yes but it's only worth about a dollar.  Don't pay anymore for it.
