Sheng Yuan SY273 Pirates

As usual, there are two sets of eight in a box like this.

Pictures of the box (set of 8):

All the parts come in a sealed plastic except accessories for one of the pirate (with dark red bandana). The coins and gold tile is still attached to the plastic rack.

Assembled minifigures with weapon/accessories:

Extra parts that you could use to build weapon/accessories holder just like the image at the back of the box.

I really hope SY will issue minifigures set of Pirates of the Caribbean (POTC) but from 8 figure in this set, only 4 from POTC. I think this is good enough for a start.

1. Hector Barbossa

2. Captain Jack Sparrow

3. Captain Jack Sparrow Voodoo

4. Captain Jack Sparrow with Tricorne

Another four figures is not from POTC but it match the Pirates theme.

There's another imitation of POTC minifigure made by KSZ. You may read about them here

Lego The Flash Sheng Yuan SY269

I think this is the new packaging of Lego minifigures set by Sheng Yuan will looks like from now on. The shop where i usually bought these stuff won't sell them separately so i have to buy the whole box. Luckily i have friend that share the same hobby so i can split the extra.

There are 2 complete set (set of 8) in the box:

All of them share the same image at the back:

Complete set of 8:

Two of the figure (Flash and Reverse Flash (From TV Series)) have the 1 x 12 Bar outside the sealed bag. So if you opt to buy this set without packaging, most likely the seller will accidentally miss out this part.

From Left: New 52 Reverse Flash, Classic Reverse Flash, Classic Flash, Black (Death) Flash:

From Left: Flash (TV Series varaint), Blue Lantern (Hope) Flash, Reverse Flash (TV Series varaint), White Lantern Flash:

Lets take off their mask. Urgh.. is it just me or they really have ugly face? Looks goofy to me. i don't like it. Prefer to have the mask on.

Love the colour =)

Each figure come with a baseplate, a lamp post/pole, a lighting pieces and an extra hand.

The Classic Flash above look very much same with the one in SY178. He's from Lego Batman 2 video games.

The newer Flash in SY269 has additional yellow line on the leg. However body line and the flash pattern is bolder on the older figure from SY178. Which one do you prefer?

My favourite:

I just notice for tv series variant, the centre flash logo on the minifigure chest looks weird. I think the logo will look better with round shape instead oval.

Decool Modern War 308, 309, 310, 311

It's been a while since Decool release anything. Recent set before this set im going to review should be Ninjago minifigures (but i don't have it) and Minecraft minifigures (i have this one, but havn't review it lol)

Decool already release 3 Wodern War minifigures before - Decool 301, 302 and 303. So the next series should be 304, 305, 306 and 307. However i received these first:

• 308 - American Support
• 309 - American Engineer
• 310 - American Assault
• 311 - American Recon

I bet the other set is in another cargo container on its way to Malaysia shore so in the meantime, lets have a look at these first.

Images of the boxes: 

Lucky us, there's a piece of catalog inside each box showing minifigures and other set in Modern War theme. I already review 2111 and 2112 here.

As usual, the parts are sealed in plastic packaging:

How they looks like with bare eyes:

Looks nice, ya? How about some truth? Let me zoom in a bit.

Picture speaks for itself. Printing on all the torso is really bad. Some say Decool purposely done it because they are military figure so their shirt cannot look that "clean" and clear. but i don't buy it =(

Alternate face:

Side print on the arms and legs looks nice. Each figure have different design printed on their arms and legs. 

Weapons that come with each minifigures:

All the accessories and weapons in this set combined:

Last but not least, how they look like with the vest on:

Plastic used for the vest is superb. It's thicker than plastic used for vest in previous Decool 301, 302 and 303 set. However…. i have bad news. Some might skip this set because of this. Most of the figures in this set have loose legs!! OMG. I'm not sure if it's just my set. I hope other batch won't have this problem.

What do you think about this? I hope next camouflaged army set by Sheng Yuan  will not disappoint me.

Lego's San Diego Comic-Con 2014 Rocket Raccoon Warbird

Hey guys! Look at my Lego SDCC Rocket Raccoon. I'm soooooo lucky to have it plus at really good price =)

Nah, just kidding =p

The box size is 9.5 inch x 7.5inch x 2.2 inch. Looks exclusive enough to me. lol

The printed manual in booklet form:

front cover, first and last page, back cover

Took me less than 20 minutes to assemble it:

View from top;

The wing is adjustable. This is the maximum angle i can spread it out

The plastic is good, however some parts are easily fall off. Please refer those parts that i circled in red below.

I might use kragle anytime soon to make it permanent lol.

I can't believe this day has finally came. The quality of the minifigure is realllly bad. I already noticed this when reviewing their latest super heroes set 0192 - 0197 (link - please refer Lego Bane figure). 

I can't remember since when their quality is questionable but as far as i can remember, their Guardians of The Galaxy minifigures set is quite good, with dual sided faces and all (link)

Please refer few spot that i circled in red below. I don't know what to say. Maybe Sheng Yuan is getting better or Decool simply becoming worse.

Anyway, i got my red suit RR from this polybag:

This is the extra parts. Some parts are not even used in the original Lego set. I'm not sure why Decool include them. 

This is how the box image looks like for the original Lego set. Have a look at the price too O_o
