Sheng Yuan SY289 Set of 8 Heroes Assemble

Oops they did it again :). Maybe I was too quick to judge after seeing some of the characters that have been issued before.. Superman, Green Lantern, Batman, Flash.. but they have been issued so many times by almost  ALL China brand available (^_^)".

I almost completely ignored this set until I noticed a very small detail with the minifigures. Let's see if you guys also noticed it.

Yuppp, they are just another variants (with more fancy torso design and more detail on the leg) but the most important update is the printed side arm! oh gosh i'm super excited about this. pardon me~

Of course they came with accessories and weapons, but I'm less interested in them.

Front/rear view of each figure:

Green Lantern

The Flash

I have no idea who is this guy. help! Red Tornado (thanks @lolololololo)

Superman

Wonder Woman

Aquaman

Batman

Cyborg

I know what you all think, and I agree with you. The print and the details are superb but for some figs (especially Green Lantern and Cyborg), their face (including the alternate face) look funny haha..

Now let's look at the print on the side of their arm.

Closer look:

I personally love Wonder Woman's arm the most because of the extra line on her left shoulder. These lego arms are very tiny and small yet the print is so sharp and clear :)

Anyway, one of Sheng Yuan's latest set of 8s that i definitely ignore is SY293. I've had a lot of Super Heroes variant furthermore I am not a fan of transparent minifigures.

Decool 7108 Bat-Tank

This is a copy/imitation/knock-off/you-name-it of Lego set #7787 (640pcs) The Bat-Tank: The Riddler and Bane's Hideout from year 2007! I got this set at RM80 (less than USD20!)

The price of this set when released in 2007 was $49.99 but 8 years later, the price had risen to $578.00(ebay). This is just insane.

More pictures of the box:

..and here's the original Lego #7787. Images from Google. I started buying Lego again in 2010 so there's no way i have this 2007 set :(

As you can see from the image above, Decool only imitate the Bat-Tank with Batman and The Riddler minifigures. (no Bane, no dirt bike and no gate)

The box is huge! The box size is 35cmx43cmx6cm so the volumetric weight for this set is about 1.5 kilos (^_^)'. If you are interested to have this set, please ask the seller to send this set without the box or you had to pay unnecessary weight because of the box size.

Items in the box: Instructions booklet and lego parts in 7 sealed bags.

Actual weight of the lego parts and instructions booklet: Only 466gms!

Printed parts.

Excess parts:

Decool completely overlooked this matter. They think their quality control are comparable to Lego. ahaha.  This set require 158 pieces (79 pieces x 2 side) of this "Link Tread" but they give 161 pieces in total (only 3 pieces extra) of which 9 pieces are totally damaged. So I had no choice but to use 6 pieces of damaged parts to complete this set :(.

some of defective Link Tread

I purposely assemble all 6 defective parts next to each other on one side and this is how it looks like. :(. The "chain" can still rotate but it looks ugly.

I wish to order this part from Bricklink but the price is too ridiculous. I really wish Decool fix this matter soon in the later batch. be more generous. give extra 10 or 20's of this part wont hurt them.

Minifigures in this set: Batman with dark blue cape and The Riddler with Jet Pack

Do not be surprised. Batman from this set is the third expensive after Batman from SDCC 2011 ($400.00) and SDCC 2014 ($380.00) :)

Decool Ninjago 0092-0097; Master Wu, Evil Green Ninja, Ronin, Ghoultar, Archer, Cowler

All characters in this set are villains except Master Wu... and Ronin. Ronin was a villain in the video game and at the start of the ghost season but he became a ninja ally at the end of the season. Thanks to @Elijah Van Vlack for this update :).

Trading/game cards. One in each box.

Assembled figures with weapons/accessories:




Original Lego figure: [image from Bricklink]. It's 100% the same:




Each of them will come with one of this thing.."Skreemers"

 1. Master Wu

2. Evil Green Ninja

3. Ronin

4. Scythe Master Ghoultar

5. Bow Master Soul Archer with Ghost Legs

6. Ghost Warrior Cowler with Scabbard 

Printing on their torso and leg is superb. I'm also amazed with the Trans-Neon Green ghost leg with Marbled Trans-Dark Blue Pattern. It's so beautiful and perfect. I don't have original figure but i have one ghost figure from CMF series 14 that has this part. 

Decool actually manage to copy this new part. It's not printed. The part is made from a mixture of two colors of plastic. Love the colors :)
