Decool 2111 Humvee & Decool 2112 Carrier

I'm going to review these 2 sets together because they complement each other. Both from Decool with code number 2111 and 2112 from their "Modern War" theme.

Decool 2111 - M1025 Humvee Armament Carrier

 The box size is 29.5cm x 21cm x 6.5cm.

The parts are sealed in plastic and come in cardboard tray.


The instructions booklet is nicely printed and easy to follow.
front cover, last page and back cover 

Here's the assembled set:
side view

front and rear view

top and bottom view

All four doors can be opened and closed, but too bad the side mirror is fixed. If you look closely, you will also notice the different tone of tan color on some of the parts.



The humvee hood/bonnet could also be opened:



I love the rear part: the trunk could be opened like this:



The machine gun on top of the vehicle could be adjusted to point up and down but the parts where the minifig should stay in easily detached =(



Please note, these parts are also easily fall off because of loose bricks. =( I might glue them to avoid headache.



Decool 2112 -  M1097A2 Cargo/Troop Carrier

The box size is 27.5cm x 15 cm x 6.5cm.

Same with 2111, the parts are sealed in plastic and come in cardboard tray:


You don't have to worry about the instructions. It is printed clearly in booklet form:
cover page, back cover and last page

Assembled set:

side view

front and rear view

top and bottom view

Same with 2111, both doors and hood/bonnet can be opened and closed.


For this carrier, the hood/bonnet fixed better to the body. However i believe its only a matter of time before the bricks become loose and i will have the same problem with 2111 Humvee. 




Both set will have these 2 same guys. One thing for sure, they are different from Decool's Moder War Minifigures series (link).

The printing on both front/rear torso is really good =).



 Weapon/accessories you can get from these 2 sets:

sandbags, rifle and handgun

[Update@March 4,2015]:
From side view, the front part of both humvee and carrier look the same.



Looking at the back cover of instructions booklet, next set will be the air cargo carrier. Can't waitt!!!!!!

    nice review there, I am guessing both vehicles looks the same (well except for the back). Can you do a comparison shot with both vehicles top/side view? Thanks in advance.

    one more question, are both minifigures the same?

    Thanks for the review.

    I am disappointed with the bricks quality. SY seems to have better bricks than Decool. I expected Decool to be on at least on par with SY. Guess not.

    Still the best bricks I've seen from chinese bootlegs = Star Diamond.

    Minifigure design and printing looks good though.

    I was looking forward to your review to see the rifles. I was hoping (a long shot really) Decool uses the new M4 carbine design from TinyTactical's latest. A big improvement over the M4A1's here. Google "TTMK18 MOD 0 KIT". I hope Decool consider using it in future releases.

    Now I wait for the plane ... :)

      hi there,

      i totally agree with you about star diamond. however, i think star diamond has less design or theme compare to others. it could be only happened at my home town.

      now i collect SY, Decool, Kazi, and Ausini. Kazi has the same problem like SY and Decool have. Color not matching, some parts are too loose and etc. however, kazi has nice design like pirates black pearl, military tank and helicopter.

      for ausini, i would rate the color matching almost 100%. percentage of loosing part like decool and sy. however, ausini has it own design. thus, it is totally depends on what you are looking for. so far, i like their military theme. their hummer is nice too, green color though. cost about rm35 (us&10) without postage. i saw online they have light brown like decool hummer too.

      just sharing my thought :)

      This photo is from one of my friends. On the left side is assembled GBL humvee and on the right, truck from Decool.

      He doesn't have Decool humvee but from the image, GBL Humvee is bigger and has darker colour

    4. apodistagon27 February 2015 at 17:04

      Speaking of Ausini ... i'm not eyeing their military stuff. I'm looking for their train - Maersk train.

      And GBL ... GBL made TGV "Horizon Express" Lego train :)

      If these are not too expensive, I might buy. Ausini should have better quality bricks than GBL. "Acceptable" brick quality and colour is a concern of mine because at the end, these bricks will be used for MOCs.

      or maybe i'm the lucky one to receive extra gun? too bad they do not catalog the parts supplied for the set.

      i know right? i believe that the possible missing handgun should've belonged to the humvee set? at first i was thinking that one of the figures was meant to hold the gun turret and that the handgun was an extra piece. i really don't know. by the way love your reviews. thanks legostore.my

    It's here :-)

    I dunno where DECOOL 2113 went but DECOOL 2114 has landed (see link below).
    Couldn't post a pic. So please feel free to help me with that. Looking forward for the the forthcoming review. Perhaps in relation to the first (OXFORD) and second (SLUBAN) versions :-)
    At first a size comparation says me that they're pretty similar in size but that could be wrong. This one could be bigger. DECOOL seems to have choosen a slightly different path... The construction looks... solid... massive...

    Best

    Hi @Gnrl Clstr. Thanks for the link. wow. that set looks very huge.. 562 pieces! i wonder how much will it be. I bet the box size is almost the same with lego avengers tower with 515 pieces.

    [img]http://i.imgur.com/MCPLKcs.png[/img]

    I had actually forgotten what brand also issued these helicopters. So thanks for the highlights :)

    This is Sluban UH60L with 439 pieces

    and this set is from Oxford (OM3303) with 411 pieces
    [img]http://i.imgur.com/9tMEoxS.jpg[/img]

    from the pieces count, Decool's set is bigger.. but it's very nice that they offer different color.
