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!!!!!!

Lele 79016 Counter Strike

I have a few set of bootlegs that i want to share with you guys but i know you love swat more so here it is:

If i recall correctly, this is the 3rd set of military/army lego by Lele after this and this. As usual, you will get these inside each box; cards, unassembled figure in sealed packaging, and standard weapon/accessories attached to plastic rack.

Standard accessories/weapon in each box:

.. and here's what you will get with each minifigure:

Each figure has a name, labeled on each box:

1. Sniper

2.  Udarnik 

3. Machine Gunner

4. Udarnik

5. Team Leader

6. Pioneer 

How they look with their vest on:

I think they should print those camo at the back of the vest too.. just to make it balance. They look fierce from the front but too vulnerable from the back (too plain).

I appreciate their effort to have side printing on the arm and legs: all have diff pocket design.

Without their vest on:

Last part, also my favourite part: All the weapon/accesories you can get from this set:

I will leave the discussion about these weapon to the experts =) (you know who you are) but i bet you won't feel too excited about this. They look same with rifle that Lele/SY already introduce in their earlier army/military set. =(

About the plastic quality.. I can confidentially say that plastic used by Sheng Yuan (in SY168, SY168, and The Expendables) is far more better. However Sheng Yuan haven't issue any camouflage figure before so that left us with Di Long brand (Link) to compare. Di Long only have one camouflage color and design for all the minifigures in that one set. You will have more choice with camouflage color/pattern with this Lele.

If you already have few set of Lele before, you will know what to expect - the quality is not consistent. None of these figure have loose limb, but my finger hurt a little when i try to attach their arm to the torso. Only one figure (blue coloured camouflage, 2nd from right) suffer paralysed arm. The arm is too loose that he cannot even held up any weapon.

Oh,i just notice none of these figure come with utility belt too =). They don't need any, no? =)
