Very impressed with how this set turned out, especially since this was an earlier batch and didn’t take long to be produced

Piece quality - 9/10: only one warped piece (a 1x1 brick that wasn’t lode-bearing). The hinges that hold the arms are a bit loose, fixed it with a slight bit of superglue to add more friction/grip. No missing pieces, a few extra big pieces included. Printed and special pieces all are perfect

Value - 9/10: this set was ~$51 after shipping and such. MUCH better than MSRP, and I feel it’s worth it for the piece count and the overall design

Experience - 10/10: one of my favorite builds so far this year. I know a lot of people aren’t so hot on how this set looks, but I think it turned out really nice (especially for the price). I would’ve loved a “life-sized” Pikachu set, but this is still great. Especially nice that you have multiple display options (the ball can be closed or open, Pikachu can stand without the stand and is possible, and there’s an extra tip for the tail to make Pikachu female)

Got it from a random AE shop, came here within a week. I also got Eevee too (will review soon), and the giant starter trio set is also on the way. Hoping that one turns out well since I’m guinea pigging it for $100, but but Eevee was only $20

Wow! let me say what a fun & exciting build. I really enjoyed this one. I've been wanting to build the Ecto 1 set for a long time and I finally pulled the trigger. So happy I did. Set went together great, no missing pieces, stickers & printed bricks looked pretty darn good. I followed the printed manual and used the "L" builder app at times. All the mechanisms work and operate pretty smoothly. (Etc. HOG steering, radar & cannon, side seat & back floor ghost trap drop) included some pics of final build. Last photo was what was extra.

I picked this beauty up from AliExpress for a very very good price, probably the cheapest one yet. The instructions were okay, standard for MJ, there were no missing pieces, and no decals, all printed parts. The build was fun, quite a bit easier than some of the more complicated MJ builds. If you look closely in the video you will see that a piece falls off a few seconds in. I had to glue a few pieces on this one, in particular the wings, and those 1x2 Technic pieces (the one flying off) other than that I'd give this one top marks. Highly recommended, especially for the price.

Colossus sold separately.

New Cada C66020 Bookstore building for the Japanese Street series.

Havent seen much reviews yet but couldnt resist buying it instantly. Seems a bit more 'playable' than the first buildings which are more scenery

Good quality. They are both the same minifigure just with a different set of accessories. Each one comes with 3 different faces. It should fit nicely on any of the Black Pearl sets.

I ordered the Jazz Club modular off of Jooooy. I was pretty slow building it but it was a lot of fun. I think it came out very nice too.

I finished a new apocalyptic modular house for zombie town , see otherbpistsvfor different buildings. I think i finished 8 now. Bought them on ae. This was one was sturdy, and only few missing pieces, but thats parts of the fun. How you guys like this one ?

I posted about the Tantiv IV MOC awhile back and people (rightfully) complained about the Stormtroopers. They were the only ones I had on-hand at the time though.

Anyways I ordered 20 of the WM2038 ones that were recommended from AE (it was $22USD for a pack of 20) so here's just a quick comparison for anyone else who might be looking.

The old one is on the left and the WM2038 one is on the right. Definitely an improvement, especially for the helmet and they came with a better blaster rifle as well.

I feel like they should have black hands though. But I have twenty of these now and only 4 sets of black hands.

I dont know od somebody elise posred this information. Beaky Ultramarines minifigure of standard marine have printing error. On left leg armor they have with 7th Legion print. The jump marine comes with correct 13th Legion print. I bought first batch of both marines from Aliexpress and second from Joy Bricks and both have same error. Now I have two correct beaky marines and two infiltrators from Night Lords. For information if you want correct minifigures you have buy two baches for switch, or if you are artistic paint over the Legion Mark.

Hey, long time lurker, first time poster. Back in January I ordered the Back to the Future Delorean from Joooooy.com and it came a week or two later, so, I set about sorting the parts, seeing as they were all in different bags, and organized them according to bags as seen in the instructions.

There were only a few missing parts and communication with the website was great and they were able to ship everything to me at no extra charge.

I also ordered an updated Marty and Doc (trust me, they single ones look better!) and I ordered the stand from Ali Express.

Some steps were frustrating (in all honesty, this was also an issue with the official Lego one, so it's not exclusive to this one)

Overall, I'm very satisfied with the brick design and build and I will definitely order from JOOOOOY again. Would definitely recommend.

All in all, I spent about $65 on the set, stand, figures and shipping. Sorting and building took around 40+ episodes of Intervention.

I just picked these beauties up last night, and thought I would share. I promise I don't work for MJ and didn't get any freebies, just wanted to share the love. ❤️

MY FINGERS!

WOW, a totally awesome yet brutal to build piece of art we have here. Milky Way Galaxy set 12123 (according to f to the instructions). My quick review.

Piece quality - very good. Did not have a problem with bricks not wanting to stay in place. The 1x1 squares were my bane of existence as they probably hurt the fingers the most. I feel my hands calloused over this build (exaggeration).

Instructions - Very clear booklet. I did not cross reference with the official build, so unable to go into too many details. But the book is nice and bright and highlighted the new pieces placement per step (I’m sure the big guys instructions did this too)

Fun Factor - I dunno, 3.5 out 5. It’s a lot of redundancy while be different at the same time. I think that’s just “art” style sets though.

Recommend- Most definitely. If you are a fan of space, this one is for you. The last picture is the wall case I ordered for it. I think it’s going in our living room.

Happy building!

My first ever Lumibricks/Funwhole set. I had built 4 CADA modular sets before this one after someone told me to not start the Lumibricks sets till i finish the CADA ones. And now I know why.

Build: 8/10

Amazing brick quality and the instructions are very clear and detailed. Every step is clearly marked out. I had never built sets with such intricate lighting (cada is just a string of fairy lights) but this set made it easy. I am docking 2 points because you have to open 3-5 bags in one go.

Printed parts look amazing.

Lights: 10/10

Instructions are as clear as day light and lights are easy to place. Check images 3,4,5, and 6 to see how the set looks with the lights on. Slide 11 and 12 for instruction manual image.

Display: 10/10

The set just looks amazing. So many details are inside the "shop." The colors work really well together.

Minifigs

A bit weird compared to Lego ones. But there is reason for it, Lego Patent. You can replace them with lego one if you want to.

Overall: 28/30 (~93%)

This set is just amazing. If you can get your hands on it, please build it. It reaches the height of Lego modulars through its design and part quality and then surpasses it through the use of lights and printed parts.

The quality of this figure is extremely good. Prints (look at the belt buckle) and especially feel of the plastic and quality of joints and connectors. Looks and feels great.

It also comes with a yellow set of head and hands, also never saw that.

brand prefix is dz, I will look out for more of them.

If you saw my previous post, I just finished up the Milky Way Galaxy. On to my next major build, the UCS Razor Crest. I think the biggest “ship”, not set, I’ve built to date are the Boba and Jango Slave 1s. This one is like 3x the piece count. Already out of display room, gonna have to start displaying them in the garage soon hahah.

Second picture shows ST3023 and was curious if anyone has built this exact knock off. Starting the sorting process now.

Cheers!
