LEPIN NINJAG 06020 Final Flight of Destiny's Bounty Review

I'll be reviewing the bootleg version of the Lego Ninjago series this time. I have always been a sucker for ships and buildings so this time I got myself a huge ship - the Destiny's Bounty. Okay, since I don't follow the Lego Ninjago cartoon series, I had to do some homework on Google a bit. Apparently, the version of the ship I bought was the second version @ Destiny's Bounty 2.0. The first version was destroyed but was eventually rebuilt again. The first version can only sail in the sea but the version is able to fly. Refer to the first version bootleg released by BELA below. I might get one if I can still find it.

Now, the usual box comparison. As usual, the box packaging is identical and LEPIN's brick packaging is horrible as usual - unnumbered random packaging.

Bricks Packaging

Let's start assembling! 

I thought it will tough assembling this ship since the bricks packaging are random but thanks to the different color bricks used in this set, I was able to spot my pieces rather quickly. 

Now, the verdict. I'll rate it at 9 out of 10. No missing bricks and the mini figures quality are good. The sail can be opened and closed using the lever near the mast, and you can pull out the cannon at the back of the ship which moves the "rudder?" too (refer to animated GIFs below). Hate the bricks packaging as usual. The color of the bricks aren't that good too; it looks a bit faded (cloudy?) in my opinion. Apart from that, I have no other complaints.

I do not have the 360 degrees panorama view for this set; I'll probably do it after getting a proper camera. Also take note that I did not take pictures of the dragon, mini figures and also the detachable bike that is slotted behind the ship. I'll attach the pictures from another site for your reference.

My next review would be for the older LEPIN Star Wars set - Sith Infiltrator and Resistance Troop Transporter. I know I know, no one wants them and it's near impossible to get them now. I just got mine from Taobao yesterday so I'll bricking it later. I am also placing an order for the LEPIN First Order Transporter. I'm guessing it will only arrive in 2 weeks time which hopefully is the same time I get my LEPIN Ghostbusters HQ and Brick Bank. Yay for June! Lotsa bricking activity!

DECOOL 7111 Super Heroes The Tumbler Review

Finally, the review everyone has been waiting for. My stock came in 2 weeks late hence the late review. The DECOOL 7111 Super Heroes The Tumbler is the bootleg version of the Lego 76023 The Tumbler. Yes, it's the huge UCS Tumbler released back in 2014 which contains 1869 pieces of Lego. View the original Lego 76023 below.

As usual, we will compare the box and packaging of the DECOOL 7111 Super Heroes The Tumbler. The box is huge like the original; 52 CM H x 62 CM W x 13 CM D. It weighs about 3.3 KG. The packaging is slightly different than the original but that is not the important part. The most important part is the packaging of the brick pieces! If you look at the 3rd picture below, the brick pieces are now sorted properly into boxes labelled 1 to 6! Thank Heavens for that!

I managed to complete the DECOOL 7111 Super Heroes The Tumbler in 7 hours; yes, I only take short breaks for drinks, toilet and glance at the TV once a while watching Barcelona win the La Liga title. You can view the photo time line below. WARNING : Picture heavy! 

Box #1 contains only the Technic joints, stickers, rims and tyres. Nothing much here.

So, what's the verdict? I'll give it a 9 out of 10. Why not 10 out of 10? 

I have problems with the rims and tyres. The rubber tyres doesn't fit nicely into the rim; it is very loose. So when you push the Tumbler, it feels like it's wobbly...ummm...how do I explain it...ah...it's like driving with a flat tyre haha. Secondly, I feel that the bricks are...rough. I developed blisters on both my thumbs from just snapping the brick pieces into place. Thirdly, the "windscreen" are slightly scratched for my set so you can see lines. I'm not sure it's a defect on my set or manufacturing issue.

Apart from that, I love this DECOOL 7111 Super Heroes The Tumbler! I'm recommending this set to everyone who loves the original Lego The Tumbler but can't afford/didn't manage to buy it. I'll compare the original Lego Tumbler and Decool Tumbler side by side when I am free.

7 grueling hours to complete thanks to the proper bricks packaging. I'm hoping LEPIN to follow the footsteps for the Brick Bank and especially the 4000+ pieces GhostBusters HQ because I'm gonna die if I have to search piece by piece. For those who don't know about the upcoming sets, you can view the picture below.

You can look at the 360 degrees view below.

Size comparison with the LELE Millennium Falcon.

The photo quality is a bit...bad because all these are taken from my Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 and not some DSL-R. I'll retake the photos once I get my hands on a better camera. 

That's it folks. For those who has already purchase the DECOOL 7111 Super Heroes The Tumbler, happy bricking. For those who has not purchase one, what are you waiting for? Get them now!
