Set of 6 SWAT by GBL (Kazi)

This is the 3rd SWAT set made available by China brand after Sheng Yuan (Link) and Lele (Link).

Let's have a look at the box:

front and rear of the box

side of the box

Top and bottom
What's inside each box: parts in sealed packaging and small piece of paper with front and back printed with simple instructions



Never heard of GBL but there's a word printed on the stud - KAZI. So GBL is one of product by KAZI. KAZI is famous with military/police theme set. You may google "Kazi building block" and you can see some military/police set released by them.


All these - are the standard accessories for the minifigures except for the guy with sniper rifle (the one with cap) - he don't need to wear goggle and tactical helmet with night vision.



 Each minifigure with their accessories/weapon: 

 (please see the first image, one of the weapon is missing. not sure if it's intentional )



 3 type of vest in this set: 


....and... .here's the weapon! I must say, they look great!



 Close up pic:



The line up:


IMHO, design on the front torso look plain and boring, but luckily they are covered with the vest so it's not significant at all. Face expression look whacky  but, just covered them with goggle like i did above.=p

The plastic is okay, far more better than JLB or maybe a bit higher than Lele but  Sheng Yuan or Decool is better.

Cannot wait to have SY's latest (2nd wave) SWAT team. Thanks @Steven =)

    Oooh ... that high-powered sniper rifle is damn nice! So are all the other weapons. The knife is serated, nice detail. The riot shield is fine.

    The faces I'm afraid, not one appeals to me. All of them looks weird.

    Anyone see this available locally ... lemme know. I don't intend buy the entire set. I might just buy the one with the sniper rifle.

    Out of all the SWAT theme minifigs ... by SY, Lele and GBL ... the one that I like most is SY's blue uniform SWAT police minifig. It has got good torso/leg detail and printing. Both front and back. SY has the best vest among the brands, holds a lot of weapons and gear.

    Like you, I can't wait for the other 4 SWAT themed minifig by SY.

    I don't enjoy Kazi, their bricks have a funny smell, that seems, somehow, toxic :/

      Be advised, Kazi, SY, and the likes use recycled medical plastics for their items. Like used needles, IV drip bags, etc. Thats why they are so cheap........ They don't use real ABS plastic.

      Hi anonymous... That's kinda scary. I've read somewhere that even the ink also might have LEAD in it... Which is extremely dangerous once they penetrate our body. =(

    I already bought Kazi sets. Everything was fine for me. The only thing i can say about this set is that yous can have many vests, many helmets, many weapons for few money instead of Brickarms who's supposed to be a retailer for custom accessories BUT so expensive.

      Hi alternabricks,

      I like your blog. You blogged about Ausini's Maersk train set. I didn't Ausini tried to clone Lego's Maersk. One of my favourite Lego trains to date but too expensive to buy.

      This company and the other companies are one in the same. They just use different logos and packaging to hide their copycatting. Our company and manufacturer have been making and selling these items for years before Kazi. They have copied our vests, helmets, guns, shields, belts, pistol, everything from us.

      Hmm modern brick warfare rite? I don't have timw to be mean but I need to tell you. We only buy it because it was really cheap. We doesn't have to worries to buy your expensive products and get a bad quality bricks. On kazi,decool,sheng yuan they offer us a lot of custom bricks with only a few dollar needed to be spend. So I think If the bootleg is good why should we buy your expensive products. We can just stick to cheap and high quality decool,sheng yuan bricks.

      Its called illegal and against international trademark laws (which China doesn't follow).

      Of course their product is cheaper when they can copy other companies ideas, hard work, and man hours designing quality products.

      You'll never see any of these companies design their own products/ideas, ever....... It would cost them too much money.....hence why they sell these cheap.

    Have you guys experienced/ noticed that the part in the helmet where the night vision goggles should be placed seams to break or have a split in them once goggles have been applied? I applied same pressure on each but only 2/7 didn't have a split. The set I bought contained 8 2 characters repeated haha. Funny thing is It didn't have a white line "warning sign" before it split. Everything's still intact though and the goggles can still be placed where it should be. Just try to be careful as much as you can guys... Thanks

    Goggles on mine split. Lele has beter goggles and attachments. Lele makes GBL feel and look cheap. At least Leles product for me dont break. I will only stick to Lele. Sheng yuan is best and falcon commandoes are great too. However, I find that Lele swat #1 has better attachment than falcon commando camoflouge. Lele should stick to using goggles in two pieces. In their 2nd wave with the two big machine guns, they use a single goggle atachment. It works but it looks ugly. The only thing i like about this gbl set is the gun with the flashlight and the shileds. Otherwise it has terrible quality in my opinon.
