Enlighten 1111 Not Lego Garbage Truck set review


This is another new model review put out by Enlighten Bricks in 2015.  It's the Garbage truck.  It comes with 2 garbage mini figures.

The truck itself is not that big but it still comes with a lot of neat features, such as a garbage can, a shovel and broom.  


What's cool on this truck are the blue street sweepers.  Before I built it, I thought the sweepers were only decorative and not functional.   Once I started building it though, I quickly realized that the front wheels drive the gears that make the sweepers go around.

Here's the front view.  I might have to add a bumper later.  It feels like it's missing something.

Right side view of the garbage truck.  I didn't apply any of the included stickers yet, maybe later.


The rear compartment tilts up and the back opens for putting the garbage in.

Here's a look with the container door closed.  It didn't come originally with a licence plate, but I added one on after.

The truck came with 1x4 flat white blocks between the two wheels but I changed the colour to black, so it's less noticeable.

Here's a look at the underside of the garbage truck and the gearing to make the sweepers work.


The instruction booklet is printed on high quality thick paper.  The Enlighten Garbage truck is set number 1111 and has 195 pieces.

Brand: Enlighten
Model: 1111 Garbage Truck
Number of Pieces: 195
Number of minifigs:  2 garbage men
Copy of Lego?  No, this is an original Enlighten design.

Enlighten 1112 Not Lego Ice Cream Truck set review


Hi there!  Today I introduce you to the Enlighten Brand Ice Cream Truck released this year.  This is the front of the instruction booklet.


Back of the instruction booklet.  It shows some of the other Enlighten sets and an assortment of mini figures.  The instruction booklet is printed on thick, high quality paper.

Here's the packaging which likes the way Lego packages it's sets.  There are some printed blocks but also a sticker sheet.

This is what you get, according to the box, there's 213 pieces.  Two mini-figures come with the ice cream truck, 

Following the instructions is easy.  This is how the ice cream truck looks part way through the build.

Here's a look inside the truck.  You get a dispensing machine and three ice cream cones.

This is how the truck looks after completion, without the stickers.  You can see the steering wheel and the printed instrument panel.  The one hundred dollar bill is printed also.

The rear of the truck has a hinged door which lifts up.

There's enough room in the back to put the included waste can in there.

The entire set.

This is the right side of the ice cream truck with stickers applied.

Here's the left side.

The front of the truck.

The bricks are high quality and have good clutch power.  Stickers and mini figure printing is very good also.

Thanks for looking!

Brand: Enlighten
Model:  1112 Ice Cream Truck

Sheng Yuan SY302 Not Lego Batmobile set review


Today I'm reviewing the Sheng Yuan's Batmobile set SY302. It is a direct bootleg of Lego's set 6864 Batmobile and Two Face Chase.    

It features the same opening canopy, rear mounted flick fire missiles and movable wings as the real Lego batmobile.

 There are 255 pieces to this set and it only includes the Batmobile, Batman minifigure and henchman minifigure (not pictured here).

It does not include the Two-Face car or the bank that is in the original 531 piece Lego set.

It's the car, right?  Chicks love the car.



Build quality was excellent and there were no missing pieces to this set.

Brand: Sheng Yuan (SY)
Series: Famous Super Heroes
Model: SY302 Batmobile
Number of Pieces: 255
Number of Minifigures:  2 (Batman, Henchman)
Copied from: Lego 6864 Two Face Chase
