Hey there, I'm just doing a quick post of my Lepin 02047 Service Station building set. This set is a knock-off of the Lego City Service Station set 60132.
This Lepin set has 540 pieces and comes with 4 original looking mini figures, a lady driver of the maroon coloured sedan, two service station employees and the driver of the street cleaner. I was very pleased with the minifig quality.
I ordered my brick set thru private seller Jeremy whom I found on Reddit. This is my 5th purchase with Jeremy. My set arrived about 3 weeks after my order request.
The Lepin service station instructions can be found in this thick booklet. It has instructions to build the service center as depicted on the manual cover and also alternate instructions to build a small car wash and service bay. Although I didn't use the stickers, I found them to be of excellent quality.
The bags are numbered according to the instruction manual steps, one thru five. Step one builds the sedan and the tow truck. Step two builds the street cleaning vehicle. Steps three, four and five build the service station, the interior, the pumps and the overhead awning.
Here's a look at the maroon coloured sedan. In the alternate instructions, the vehicle becomes a convertible instead of the sedan. I should point out that I swapped out the wheels that came with the set with the wheels from a Bela brand armoured truck
The two truck has a lifted suspension and a working tow hook.
The sedan conveniently has bars in the front and rear that allow the tow truck to hook it up.
The street cleaning vehicle has rotating brushes in the front and has a shovel and broom as accessories. The rear of the vehicle lifts open where you will find a brown storage bin.
Moving on to the service station, it has two sections, one is the office area where you pay for gas and buy some minor supplies, and the other part is a rest area where you have two seats, a table and a pizza. I put together the outside sign, but it doesn't look like much without the corresponding stickers.
As mentioned earlier, this is the store with some products on a shelf and a cash register.
And this is the seating area. There's no back wall which makes it easy to play with.
The service station as seen from the inside.
A charging station and roof lighting is added to the exterior, along with a ramp.
The gas pump is fairly detailed with hose, nozzle and payment terminal. Without the stickers, it doesn't look as realistic as the pictures.
And finally the service station with awning attached. Following are a few more views of the Lepin service station, completed but no stickers.
Final thoughts
Although there's over 500 pieces, the Lepin service station is not that big a set. The sedan is big enough to seat two minifigures, but I find the two truck a bit on the small side. Here it is next to the Lego Tow Truck 60056.
Here's the street cleaner compared to the
Enlighten version that I reviewed awhile back.
The service center has a nice design but with a few more bricks could easily be converted into a larger modular building. I would strongly recommend using the provided stickers to add more realism to the set.
My Lepin set also came with a brick separator, a small bike and a bag of spare parts. The retail value of the Lego service station 60132 is approx $90 USD. The Lepin 02047 version ican be found for about $20 USD on Aliexpress, with free shipping.
Everything was excellent about this set including the price, so for that reason, I give it a top score of 5 out of 5. This set would definitely be a nice addition to your brick city. As always, thanks for visiting Its Not Lego and See you next time!
