Hi guys! I will join the que to get the last set Nanoblok at McDonald shortly. This week they will release 'Limited Edition' Mcdonald's Restautant. Gosh, i just remember, i still have lots of email and comments that i haven't replied.. sorry!
Yup, I'm going to compete with scalpers because of that special term "Limited Edition" McDonald use to label the toys. Anyway, I'm not a fan of Nanoblock. Maybe I just like the crowd. Ha-ha
Okay, straight to the point. I will make a quick review about this set that I bought today. It's knock off version of Indominus Rex!
The original Lego Indominus Rex comes only from Lego set#75919. These picture is not mine. this set is expensive. RM569.00 retail (USD129.99) (-_-)'. [Picture from Google].

Images of the box:
This set is pre-assembled, so there is no manual included .. Simply remove the packaging and this is how they look:
As you can see, Lele include Gray inside the gyrosphere with this hybrid but in original Lego set, Zach is the only one riding it.
Just for fun, I decided to do minor operation on this guy :D
Hmm,it has been proven 100% the same with original Lego :). Look at these parts registered in Bricklink for this hybrid
You won't believe how much this hybrid is listed in bricklink.
.

The cheapest is USD60 and the most expensive is USD85! each!
Last but not least, the one seated gyrosphere.
Again, it has been proved that the design is 100% similar to Lego. Please refer to the print-screen of instructions to assemble gyro sphere taken from the manual below:

Ooops, i almost forgot about the minifigure. Gray minifigure from this set is the same as Gray issued in Lele's Jurassic World minifigure set #79058. [I just noticed i havn't post my review about that set. (-_-)'. i will update you guys later on the link]
The alternate face on the minifigure also is 100% same with the original Lego figure :D.

However.... Please please and please do not think that this imitation is anywhere near the original. I let my kids play with the dinosaur after i'm done with the pictures.
To my surprise, after a few minutes they play with the dino ,the arms become so loose that even with only a slight movement will make both of the arms fall :(. Cannot complain much, that's why the price is 1/6th of the price for original lego parts.
Oh btw there's a chinese lego McDonalds http://aliexpress.com/item/McDonalds-Diamond-Mini-Blocks-Toy-Chips-Big-Mac-Coke-Sunde-Building-Blocks-Sets-Model-Educational-Bricks/32394055433.html
ReplyDeleteBut it's called McDefghds lol
McDefghds haha... nice name :). thanks for the link btw.
Deleteanyway, do you happen to collect it too? I'm now at peace. I can accept the fact that i won't get to collect the full set. no big deal, i'm not a fan of nano block and i'm not ready to spend triple the price for those set that i missed. ahaha...
I collect superhero minifigures mostly. Nanoblocks isn't my thing. I just regularly browse blocks shops at Ali to gain information about new sets and sometimes find remarkable stuff like McDefghds.
DeleteGood luck in your hunt for the 'limited edition' Mc D set. I hope you be able to get a few of them.....
ReplyDeleteBTW, just a question on your review above
" get it for less than USD10.. for both the dinosaurs, a minifigure and the gyrosphere! :D"
by "both the dinosaurs" , do you mean you got both the T Rex and Indominus Rex ?
(if so wow, that is very very good price.....)
Thanks in advance
ouch. i think i made a mistake with that sentence. sorry :p. I got it for RM35 (or RM38.. cant remember) for this set. so only 1 dino heheh. sorry ya.
DeleteYay you finally review it :D
ReplyDeletestill missing the other brown dino T-Rex :(
Deletehi, just need advise. it is ok for me to get big modular set? iam afraid if there will have bootleg for this set..or it is imposibble to copy this big set?thanks
ReplyDeleteHi there. please have no doubt, I strongly encourage you to get those big modular set. So far these china brand has yet to make clone of the modular. i'm not sure what is the biggest set that has been copied but the quality of these imitation bricks is nowhere near the original Lego. and please remember that the original Lego set always have excellent resale value.
Deletejust look at the price of haunted house and fire brigade. it's already triple the retail price once it's discontinued. the market price for cafe corner, green grocer and market street already beyond my reach (at least for me) so i must say, it's very good investment if you have one :)
DeleteYes..thanks back...i miss to looking it as a investment..and i will loose nothing if buying this set...but its really hard to get the modular set from LCS.thanks again..
DeleteCould you please tell me the link that you paid less than USD 10,00 for the Indominus set? Thanks.
ReplyDeletehi there. i got this set from local shop near my house. when i convert it to usd, it's less than USD10. however, when i browse through listing on aliexpress, the cheapest is USD27 inclusive registered shipping:

I'm sorry if i get your hopes up.
2 dinos with gyrospheres for about 20 USD for without original box version. Free shipping too.

^ Costs about 20USD with discounts. So have to wait for it.
DeleteHi @Batsy Bats. Have you received this set? assuming USD10 for each set.. that's a bargain :).
Deletequite annoying because the hands easily detached but can not complain much because i realised that's what i get with that price ahaha
DeleteNo, I haven't ordered it. There are more interesting blocks to buy than 2 dinos.
DeleteGlue + bootLego = best friends. Some sets really need some glue to stick things together. Or lil bit of nail polish remover to remove paint spots.
Hi may I know where and which shop u bought it from? I've been hunting for it for awhile. Thx
ReplyDeleteHi there @Donovan S, I bought it at local shop near my house. Where are you from?
Deletein kota Damansara, mind sharing the shop's detail where u get all the lego knock off ?
