Enlighten 1104 Not Lego Street Roller Set Review

The Enlighten 1104 Street Roller.

For 2016, I found that Enlighten Blocks have released quite a few City sets.  This Street Roller caught my eye.  

The set number is 1104 and came out in the summer of 2016.  It's not a big set because it only consists of 102 pieces.  They all come in one bag and a separate small sticker sheet.

This two sided instruction sheet also comes with the street roller set.

The second page of the instruction sheet.

The sticker sheet got munched.

Here's all the parts.  It comes with one mini figure.

The assembled street roller.  I like that the colour is a light green and not the typical yellow of other construction vehicles.

The right side has a chrome exhaust pipe.

There's a couple of vents where the engine is supposed to be at the rear of the vehicle.

On the left side, a pick is attached.

Despite being quite small, I actually enjoy the look of this little street roller.

Thanks for looking!

Enlighten 1101 Not Lego Sweeper Truck set review

Recently, I acquired another street sweeper vehicle for my growing building block city.  My first was the Enlighten brand Garbage Truck set 1111.  

This new 102 pieces sweeper truck is also made by Enlighten and it is set number 1101.

Unfortunately, I must report that the build quality and clutch is terrible on this set.

The first issue is the roof.  It is only attached to two upright posts and the windscreen and it is not very sturdy.  You can see from this pic that the posts don't sit very tightly to the vehicle body itself.

The other issue is the two hoses that connect the vacuuming machines to the large collector bin on the back.  The hoses just won't stay on and keep popping off.

On the positive side, I do like the vehicle design with it's hinged cab.

The cleaning brushes roll well.  Front windscreen is tinted blue but not scratched.

The sweeper truck has access doors on either side of the collector compartment for easy refuse collection.

It comes with a shovel and a broom as it's accessories.

I like that it's a smaller vehicle, and it doesn't have a large footprint.

Here is the sweeper driver mini figure and the sticker sheet that comes with the set.  You can see that the set was issued in 2015.

Instructions come by way of a glossy piece of paper, double sided.  Here's page one.

And here's page two on the reverse side.

Brand: Enlighten

Set:  1101 Sweeper Truck

Number of pieces: 102 

Number of minifigs: 1

Copy of Lego?:  No technically, but it looks very similar to Lego set 7242.

On a scale out of 5, I only give this set a 2 or 3, because of it's poor build quality.  I've enjoyed building other Enlighten brand sets, but this was the worst so far.  Very disappointed.

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.
