Aliexpress: Enlighten 110 Police Station


I think this Enlighten 110 Police Station building set is really good value for only $18.99 USD.  This is a big set with over 589 pieces.  The station has lots of accessories and about 5 mini figures.  There is a separate building that houses the jail.  You also get a helicopter, a police motorcycle trike, and a police van.  Normally, each of those vehicle building sets would run you about $4 to $5 each, so I gotta say this set is really inexpensive.

Here's the link.

Aliexpress: Lepin 01008 Friends Rollercoaster


Ok, once in awhile, these kind of listings show up on Aliexpress and I get a big chuckle out of them. This new Lepin 01008 Friends Rollercoaster set isn't out yet, so that's why it must be so expensive.  I tried to see if any one of the 1124 pieces was plated in gold or not.  At $4,788 USD, that means each piece in the set costs about $4 each.  Well, at least you get free shipping, lol.

In case you are filthy rich, or just want to blow your money, here's the link to it

Aliexpress: Sheng Yuan SY305 Iron Man Lab


I remember when the SY305 Iron Man lab was made by Sheng Yuan back in 2014.  It was a copy of a Lego idea that never got made.  I think it sold for about $25 USD, and now two years later, it's cheaper than ever at only $20.90 USD.   The lab comes with 4 different Iron Man armours and Tony Stark minifigure.  There are approx 503 pieces to this super heroes building set.

I like the diorama nature of this building set, but wish they had made it more modular in nature.  I don't think the Lego Avengers Tower had been produced yet, so I guess they did not think about integrating the 2 sets together.  It would have made a cool basement for the Tower.

Here's the listing for it.
