Hey and welcome back to my Its Not Lego blog! Today's set review is this Bun shop by Qman brand. This is the first Qman set to be added to my collection of not Lego building sets.
TL:DR
Here's the synopsis, if you just want the details.
- Model: Qman Bun Shop
Set Number: 1132
Number of pieces: 112
Number of minifigures: 2
- Fake Lego? No.
Missing Parts: N/ Deformed pieces: N/ Scratched pieces: N
#itsnotlego Rating: 3 out of 5 stars. The set is ok for the price but the minifigures are not Lego standard.
Here are the other Qman sets listed on the back of the instruction booklet. There are six other sets in this series of City themed buildings and vehicles. Set numbers range from 1131 through 1137.
Sadly, no printed parts. Here's the sticker sheet. You can see that in the lower corner, it's printed as Enlighten 1132. So Qman is a sister brand to Enlighten. As with most Enlighten brand sets, the brick quality and clutch is pretty good. The clear parts are not scratched or deformed.
The minifigures that come with this set are not compatible with Lego minifigures. Here you can see that even the parts that make the minifigs are completely different. I can't even salvage any of it for use with other minifigs. I'll just end up giving these figures away.
The yellow brick that sticks out is supposed to be a sign which you get a sticker for. There's also stickers for the store banner, the computer screen and menu above the steamers. I didn't add any of the stickers yet. I think Qman did a good job in designing the steamer fixture above the shop.
Other sets this size don't usually have a back wall but this bun shop does. It even has a door and curved glass wall. I wonder if they could have just made a solid wall instead of the curved glass. If I were to rebuild this set, I would add my own bricks to complete the back corner and then move the curved window to the front of the shop. The set also comes with a table and stool so patrons can sit and enjoy their buns.
