Lele 79081 Hulkbuster Iron Man


This set is a direct clone of Lego 76031 The Hulk Buster Smash. Not only the box art, but the size of the box also is the same with original Lego set =).

Images of the box:



The parts are packed in 6 sealed bags and come with instructions manual. The Hulk came in preassemble state.



I use original Lego instructions with these clone bricks and here's the assembled set: 100% same with original Lego.



Comparison with original Lego figure on right:
1) Mark 43 Iron Man. Lele has the mouth/jaw part coloured wrongly. The gold colour on the mask also looks cheap.


2) Scarlet Witch. The colour of the eyes is not red on the alternate face.

3) Hulk. He wears a new AOU pants (nice!) unfortunately Lele decide to maintain his old hairstyle. He should have spiky hair style to match with the AOU pants.

4) Ultron Prime. I did my best to assemble him and this is his final form. Lele's  figure is taller than Lego >_<.

Here's the problem: His head cannot fit properly in his armor neck. 


 5) Hulkbuster Iron Man - Mark 44


I was really surprised to hear the reaction of my son when I took picture of both of the above figure. Spontaneously, my son who is 5 years old told me, "dad, why your Hulk buster looks angry?" Only then I've noticed that the printed Hulk Buster Face Pattern made by Lele looks sad, while the one from Lego looks fiercer.



This is really unacceptable. This huge fella is the main attraction in this set. He should have angry/fierce looks, not sad/worried face. haha



[Please ignore the location of thrusters at the back the original build on right. I don't know why it's there. It's supposed to be on the 2 x 6 plate.]




I really don't like this set made by Lele and i don't recommend you guys to buy it. I have confidence with Sheng Yuan's version; let's hope they will have better face for this hulk buster =p.

    Hey! New reader of your blog here, fell in love with it, keep up the good work! I bought SY's set and it is superb! The printing is excellent, 99% identical with the original. No sad face for hulkbuster xD The Hulk has spiky hair as well. Major difference (not too major actually) are the gear thingy at the hulkbuster's hip join is black instead of gold and the flaws found on Lele's Hulk big fig (torn pants edge instead of straight, missing seams on neck and back, removable head). Sorry for not uploading photos for comparison. I don't have a camera and my phone takes crappy photos. Also because I'm lazy. :P

      hi there. thanks for visiting :D.

      Good choice with Sheng Yuan, buddy. Did you just grab whatever brand available or you always favour Sheng Yuan over Lele? My fav is sheng Yuan too but here in Malaysia, Lele set always arrive earlier than other brands. that's when I could not resist my itchy hand to grab whatever set available ahahah XD

      Thanks for the quick review about SY's hulk buster set :D. I was not aware of difference with the Hulk pants. Obviously Lele was using the old molds to create the figure to save on cost.. or they are lazy to create new mould. another reason why Lele is not in my top choice. :D

      I'm from Ipoh actually. At first I didn't pay much attention to the brands and I thought there's not much difference. It was really trial and error and a lot of praying that it turns out good. How I wish I have run into such awesome blog earlier. I just got whatever was available at kiosks and gift shops. The obsession then started getting out of hand and I ordered full sets from taobao :P

      I got the Lego Movie set from Lele and it was then when Lele really put me off. The Emmet was way off, with the helmet and hair having the same colour. The bald part of the Shakespeare was obviously hand painted, and that worker was probably underpaid cos he did it so badly. Also, they seem to not have any form of QC at all. At times I get two torsos, at times no hand at all! And the print is inconsistent too. I got the Toy Story set from SY along with the Lego Movie set and the stark contrast reassured my decision to ditch Lele.

      So I stuck with SY until recently I found your blog and your earlier posts mentioned that Decool has better paint. I then bought full set Decool GOTG but the paint on my RR is really disappointing :( The whole torso paint shifted down and the face was either incompletely paint or scratched. Ended up buying SY's RR and mixing the parts. I also got The Collector from both brands as well. Although Decool has double-sided head, the face just seems a bit.. off? I don't quite know how to put it. The cape was also of inferior quality so I ended up mixing parts from both brands again.

      Oops I guess I got carried away! Sorry for that. It is not easy to find someone so enthusiastic in this hobby so I thought I'd share a bit more. I hope you don't mind. :D

      I live in Ipoh too. Not many places to buy bootleg Legos here. At least not as cheap as I'd like. Where do you buy? Old town toy shops?

      I wish to meet more Ipoh bootleg fans. Maybe can arrange group orders from taobao.

      Hey apodistagon, I usually buy them from those comic shops in Aeon Station 18 or Ipoh Parade. Ya know, those very otaku-ish ones. XD You've got to dig deep, they have a lot of supplies, even those bigger box sets. I also keep an eye when walking pass kiosks or gift shops. For those that I can't wait to have or am too lazy to buy one by one or older ones which are out of stock, I buy on taobao lol. I hope this helps! :D

      Oh, I forgot to mention that those comic book shops are selling at 3 for RM13, is that considered cheap?

      Delete
    6. apodistagon1 July 2015 at 01:28

      Yea the comic shops are 3 for RM13, ok I guess. Who knows, our money depreciate so fast these days, next month RM14 already. Next year RM15.

      Around my area there's one toy shop selling it cheaper. Pick 3 for RM10 but less variety than the bigger comic shops. That's about the cheapest I know here. Lemme know if you are interested.

      Which taobao agent do you use to order from China?

      Hey! I haven't really tried sea.taobao.com cos of all the complicated registration and stuff, sorry >< apodistagon, wow that's within 5 mins from where I live. I also used to buy from a toys wholesaler called Big Toys in Seri Botani. It has a few other branches throughout Ipoh. They are selling at only RM2.5 each. But stocks very limited.

    How can lego allow this? it's totally illegal to rip off the same lego design and use unauthorized lincenses. This is an offense against the original designers and and license holders. These guys only want to piggyback on Lego's success and earn money with no concern for LEGO's values. To inspire and develop the builders of tomorrow. Instead they are teaching children not respect IP rights and laws. Imagine if someone stole your original idea and profited from it.

      Lego cant do shit brotha. Legos are made in China and they can copy almost everything and gets away with it from Lacoste to Armani to Nike and the list goes on. Official Lego factory is probably a street away from these manufacturers (SY, Decool, Lele, Bela...) idk maybe there's some kind of Lego triads goin on in there haha.

    Thanks for all of your reviews! It's thanks to you that I've taken the plunge into these offshoots to expand my minifig collection. Sadly it takes weeks to months to get anything like this into the USA (I have an order of things via AliExpress right now that is still processing, and another one via ebay going through customs right now). Really looking forward to this!

    I just realized that I also ordered the Lele version (thought mine was SY; incorrect brand labeled), so when that comes in I'll do a comparison to yours to see if it's a quality control issue or if it's the same across the board.

    Keep up the good work! I love seeing the reviews, as they help me determine which items to avoid!

      Hi. Thank you for visiting my blog. =)

      Lego in US is cheaper .. i envy you so much :(. so, when you told me you are getting stuff from china, the only reason i could think of is because those SDCC figure, right? ahaha :)

      If you want to start collecting bootleg brand from china, I recommend you to stick to Sheng Yuan. defects in one or two of the figure in each set is certain (depends on luck i guess), but at least better than other brands. JLB/Dargo is the worst.. you should avoid them at all cost.

      I myself collect original Lego too but i'm not sharing them with my kids. I know, i'm stingy.. and selfish :(. They don't like duplo but i cannot give them original Lego because it's expensive so bootlegs is my only solution :)

      I am very happy to read your comments on my blog. I really appreciate that. thanks

      And thank you for making me feel welcome!

      Lego in the US may be cheaper, but taking this Hulkbuster set as an example, the name brand version is twice the price. I'm on a tight budget (low pay and expensive housing), and I really do love minifigs (and building sets is fun, but not as important).

      I just started my collection of Chinese minifigs with a set of Iron Man figures from Decool, and they are pretty spot on. I plan on sticking with Decool and Sheng Yuan, and only go to Elephant (JX?) for a few specifics (like the everyone as Iron Man in JX1001). I love how the Chinese companies are making figures that we don't get in the USA, though, which makes this even cooler.

      I work in a public library, and we try to have a Lego club, and sometimes minifigs and pieces "disappear." I'm looking at this as a way to not only help my personal collection, but as an alternative for work (since we don't have the money to buy real Lego again).

      While I don't have kids yet, I can understand the concern; I'm sure a few of my sets will NOT be touched by my children. Heh.

      Again, keep up the good work! I love reading about what you post, and you just saved a friend of mine and I a bunch of money with your reviews :-D
      (Friend was looking at the crystal figures, your review of them and Dargo changed that).

      Looking forward to seeing what you post next!

      Hi jef! thanks for visiting my blog =).

      yeah, between Lele and Sheng Yuan, i definitely choose Sheng Yuan. I only grab Lele because they are available first. but now when I hear Decool will also issue the set, I started to feel restless. i will have 4 version of hulkbuster. Lego, Lele, Sheng Yuan and Decool lol. Bela? uh uh.. i will focus just on these 3 brand first.

      hawkeye with bike, must be this one:
