Here's all the not Lego sets and minifigures I bought in the first half of 2022.

 

Hi brick fans!  It's time for an update on my new not Lego purchases for 2022, from January through to June.  Most of my purchases were from Aliexpress.

In January, I bought a couple of World Minifigure Spiderman-Noir WM6052 minifigs, mainly to get the capes to enhance my Blade Runner custom minifigures. I paid three bucks CDN for the pair of them, which is the going price at the moment.  Not much of a deal.

In March, I wanted to get a small new stand for my not Lego modular city, so I found this Sembo 601111 set on Aliexpress.  This one came in at a whopping $10 CDN.  I think I paid too much for this small set.

I have most of the not Lego Batmobiles, except for the classic 1960's version so, in March I ordered this MOC set from Aliexpress: Product - MOC-24651 1966 Batmobile.  Paid about $15 CDN for it, but I haven't built it yet though.  For an approx 300 piece set, the price is OK.

I'm still trying to complete my collection of Lego style modular buildings, so I finally picked up the nearly 2500 piece Downtown Diner from Aliexpress for around $90 CDN.  It's on my backlog of sets to build at the moment.

To round out my March purchases, I ordered this Imperial Troop Transporter for my not Lego Star Wars collection.  Product:  MOC 38045 on Aliexpress.  Price was mid 30-ish CDN.  Still need to build this one as well.

My lone purchase for the month of April was the Boutique Hotel Lego clone. I think this one is by Leji.  Also from Aliexpress.  Price was on the steeper side at around $130 CDN from Marstoy store.  Bought but not built yet.

For the month of May, I decided to get a few more random minifigures for my not Lego city.  It was only $5 CDN for the entire set of 8 minifigs (works out to about 63 cents per minifig). I think that they are from the theme set PUBG (Players Unknown Battle Ground) game.  These minifigures are pretty limited on Aliexpress.

Also in May, I couldn't resist buying this cool retro style TV set from the Top Toys Aliexpress store. With discount coupon, this cost me around $20 CDN.  Building this soon!

In June, I made my first purchase of some Star Wars and other minifigures through Marstoy.net.  A few but not all from the Xinh series XH0323.  Price per minifigure ended up being about $2 CDN, after shipping costs, and paypal currency exchange fees.  I don't think they are up on Aliexpress yet.

Back on Aliexpress, I bought one lone goat.  Why? Just because.  In my Funwhole wood cabin set, there is a gated area off the side of the building, so I figured this would be a good place to keep a goat.

To round off the month of June, I bought a clone version of Lego's new 12 Grimauld Place.  I really only want it for the front facade so that I can convert it into a full modular style building.  It's around $65 CDN.  Not cheap for only under 1100 pieces, but I expect the pricing to increase in step with Lego's anticipated price increases.

Happy building and see you next time!
