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!
