Sheng Yuan SY287 Star Wars Minifigures

This is the last week to get the final Bricktober mini modular at Toys'R Us :))
It's a bit disappointing as I was expecting the Toys"R"Us logo on the blue tile is printed but instead, it is only sticker :(. I realised most of TRU store will run out of this set in a few minutes after the store opened but still, i'll take my chances and compete with other AFOL to get this one. ahaha.. love the blue bricks :)

Anyway, for this week review, i manage to get the latest Sheng Yuan's Star Wars minifigures set. unfortunately they are not from from the latest Star Wars The Force Awakens Lego set.





In case you have not noticed, you can build a "space-fighter" using parts collected from the eight boxes. Even so, it does not look like any vehicle from Star Wars (^_^)'. However it is an interesting way to encourage buyers to get the whole complete set of 8.



What you will get from this set with the minifigures. The usual 4x4 baseplate, parts for the space fighter, extra hand for the minifigures and instructions for the mini build.



Assembled figures with their weapons:

Top, from left: Geonosis Clone Trooper 2, Clone Trooper Lieutenant, Shadow Stormtrooper, Stormtrooper
Bottom, from left: Ezra Bridger, Padawan Anakin, Senate Commando, Asajj Ventress



Front/back view of the minifigures:










Instructions for the mini build:



My 5yo son build this whole thing! :)))



I would like to thanks @anonymous for this info; this is mini version of Wookiee Gunship (from Lego set #75084) :)


There's one more Star Wars minifigure set that i havn't review. It's set of 9 from Decool. none of them is from the latest The Force Awakens set but still worth to buy if the price is right. heheh..

  2. Your son is pretty smart. I still have trouble trying to fit the wheel in the axle when ever I am trying to build a vehicle XD. Glad to see decool is starting to produce their own star wars. I wonder for a female figure such as Padmee will get the curved torso. (The curved torso idea is from a a store called are alight btw. They make twilek heads as well.

    1. hi @Wade Willson.

      my son really enjoy all the new minifigures and new build that i bring home every week. but sometimes I feel sorry for him because these bricks have sharp edges ahaha.. so he kinda struggle a few time to finish it.

      hey., Thank you for telling me the curved torso originally was from Arealight. they are famous with Lego scooter right? I got some of the design. love it!

    8. @Malaysian I. Rex. to attach image into the comment, you need to resize the image (if the pic size is too big) to smaller size (maybe 460 to 640px width?) and upload the pic to any image-hosting site. copy the url that end with "jpg" or "png" or whatever the picture format name for example "http://i.imgur.com/vxxRAfY.jpg".

      use [.img.] and [./img] to wrap the link. for example [im.g]http://i.imgur.com/vxxRAfY.jpg[/.img.] please remove the "dot" in the bracket.

      The complete entry should look like this.

      wow.. all these steps looks so complicated. or you can only share the url just like you did here. with a simple copy and paste, we can still see the picture you want to share :)

  7. Hello guy! I really apreciated your work!!
    Well... I live in Brazil, and I can't find any physical store to buy Sheng Yuan... Or any bootlag LEGO. Then I think that the only way to buy this, is from AliExpress. I want to buy the Batman set (sy171), but I have seen your post reviewing this set. and I have seen another set, that newest minifigs having dual face! I want to know if this Batman set have two faces, or not, because I don't know if the bootlegs been actualized...
    Another thing... Does Sheng Yuan is better than decool? The plastic and impression is good?
    Thank you guy, and sorry about the "confuse" text LoL

    1. Ooh, I forget the link of the seller: http://goo.gl/dtJLEM, this guy send decool and sy, it seems like is decent!

    2. Hi! Sorry to bump in. I've received this set from Ali about a month ago. There were no dualfaces.
      But you can try to contact the seller to make sure. But be aware that some sellers at Ali aren't fluent at english and might not understand your questions.
      I'm a beginner collector, but I've seen some other manufacturers like Xihn or Dargo. Shen Yuan is the certainly not the worst. In fact this set is my favourite. Quality is good, printing is nice, but a bit hard to assemble. Accessories are cool as well.
      Good luck!

    3. Thank you very much bro! I'm already talk with the seller, he confirms to me that unfortunately don't have dual face... I'v never heard about this Dargo bootleg... The Xihn I alredy saw, but I didn't see any review, and I be afraid to buy a bad product.. However, I'll stick to the Sheng Yuan, and simply check the quality and buy more (or not). Me, like you, am beginner colector trying to raise the collection, but I can't spend a money who don't give me a nice product, because as you can see, the dollar is stupidly expensive in Brazil.
      Thank you very much again!

    4. Hi @anonymous, sorry for the late reply. i just read your comment. so sorry :(

      and @Batsy Bats.. thank you sooooo much for the answer. It's spot on~ i don't have to add any to the suggestion :). Only the latest Sheng Yuan's minifigure has dual sided faces, starting with SY275/SY276 AOU minifigures

    5. Of course! I'm already finished the order! Thank all you, guys!

    1. Hi @Luqman Hakim. have you tried online. on ebay or mudah? It's easier. wholesale shop at Plaza GM KL or along Chow Kit road don't sell them in small quantity hence the price is not as good as before :(
