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
Number of mini-figures: 2 (Ice cream vendor, customer)
Number of pieces:  213
Extra pieces: None
Is this a Lego bootleg?  No, this is an Enlighten original design.

Who knew that Batman liked strawberry ice cream?

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

Sluban M38-B0516 Not Lego Postbox set review

I'm pretty sure that this is a new 2015 set put out by Sluban brand bricks.  It doesn't have any English description but the set number is M38-B0516.  It comes with a minifigure, a baseplate, bricks to build a mailbox and a bicycle.

Here's how the back of the box looks like.

The one page instruction sheet.

Sluban's minifigures aren't compatible with Lego minifigs.  They have a slimmer leg and arm design and the head is attached to the torso via a post, which allows the head to be placed in a tilted position.

Here's the bicycle.  It is teal in colour with rubber tires and white spokes.  It comes with a yellow stud that serves as a bike rack.  There is a pink basket that attaches to the bike handle bars.

The bike is compatible with Lego type minifigures.

Here's the Sluban minifigure (pictured left) with a Lego style minifigure.

The set comes with quite a few extra pieces.  I really just wanted the set for the bicycle as you normally have to buy a much larger block set to get a bike.  This set only cost me $1 USD on ebay.
The bicycle and mailbox will work nicely in a city type setup.  I'll probably throw away the minifig.

Brand: Sluban
Set:  M38-B0516 (no description)
Number of Pieces:  29 (with bonus pieces)
Number of minifigs: 1
Copy of Lego? No, this is an original set by Sluban.
