Review LEPIN 05128 BB-8 UCS | Compatible with LEGO 75187 | Star Wars | If you are fan of legendary films Star Wars and you impress with BB-8, a cute manipulative spherical robot, then you can not ignore LEPIN 05128 BB-8 UCS Building Blocks and Bricks Set from LEPIN Star Wars. Product Informations: ✔Brand Name: LEPIN ✔ Item No: 05128 ✔Compatible: LEGO 75187 ✔Pieces: 1106 ✔Ages: 10 -16 and above ✔Estimated Price: $62 Design and Features The mechanics of BB-8 allow its domed mechanical head to freely rotate 360º thanks to a “steering wheel” cleverly disguised on one side of his cute little spherical self, as well as for a (non-functioning) welding torch to pop open a door in his tummy and project forward, with the turn of a similarly-disguised wheel on his opposite side. Like any Technics-style set, you’ve got to pay close attention to the instructions when assembling anything with moving parts. The track on which BB-8’s welding torch slides out is an interesting assembly, and requires precision in its assembly in order to work properly. Ditto for his head. The build went pretty smoothly overall, except for having to adjust for the welding torch to automatically open the door. The door is pushed open by the torch itself, so the door does not close automatically on retraction of the torch. That would be a cool feature, but I recognize the innards don’t leave a lot of room for the gears necessary to make such a thing occur. The other main frustration in assembling this little ball of orange and white cuteness was the fact that all of the dome-shaped sides are held onto the body with four offset plates, one in each corner of the square structure inside the circle. You’ve got to get all four perfectly aligned in order to snap the circle on with ease. I recognize this is a frequent issue with any sort of assembly involving aligning, all at once, more than a couple pegs and holes. It’s not a huge deal, but it bears mentioning. BB-8 is playable, but is also built for display. He comes with a nice little stand and informational plaque telling his statistics. One of my favorite features of the set is the BB-8 “minifigure” that also comes with the set, and which hangs out on a little perch in front of his big brother when the whole thing is assembled. I’ve become quite a fan of LEPIN’s Star Plan sets, and BB-8 is a worthy addition to any Star Wars fan’s collection. As usual for LEPIN, the bricks were all of great quality, and even though much of the internal build is Technics-style pieces, I had zero problems with piece quality or finish. I highly recommend you pick up BB-8 for either yourself or the Star Wars fan in your life. He’s a fun build, a very attractive finished product, and indeed, you may find yourself getting even more hooked on Lepin building block toys as a result of the very good price at which you can obtain him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bK-M5CgMMVU https://bricklepin.com/product/lepin-star-wars/lepin-05128-bb-8-ucs-star-wars/

Fantastic review, WhiteFang! I also have collected LEGO but my brother lost some minifigures in some sets :((( I wonder that anyone sell LEGO minifigures only :(( ? I tend to buy some clone sets in xxxxxxx or xxxxxxxxxxxx to use their minifigures but it seems quality of the knock off sets is not good :(( Edit by WhiteFang: Link removed.

Great review, Jim. Honestly, I love LEGO and it is all my dream when i was a kid but this set is too expensive. I just bought a fake LEGO from *** removed by MOD and I have to admit that LEPIN surprised me. However, as I see it is the color of pieces are not similar and the structure is slightly loose. Also, I want to buy a set from LEGO to compare and review soon.
