Not Lego set

[ganimede]

I was lucky enough recently to be gifted with a Hsanhe set - these are based on rejected Lego ideas and turned into actual products albeit with non-Lego bricks. In this case it was a suggestion for a Mini Shop series with small sets of high street names. The set I got was 6410-2, the 7-Eleven. I was a little wary because I've had a knock-off

It looks quite nice on the photo but of course you can only tell the quality when you actually handle the blocks. Well, I CAN see that the "glass" is faulty ...

[ganimede]

Absolutely. I would never have thought that the bricks having particularly sharp and pointed edges would have been a possibility until I was actually handling them! And of course, the set in the photo and the set you get might be completely different anyway...

That looks like a fun idea. The air-conditioning is the best :)

It's such a cute thing!

I love the colours!!!

That was one of the things that attracted me to it.

That's worked out pretty well, certainly clearly a grocery store, I love the lights but grr on the poorly sized stickers, that's irksome. Lego sets I've had recently often have a few extra pieces left over, usually the smaller ones that are likely to be mislaid. I think the hands thing is a standard thing with not-Lego figures, the ones I've had cheap from Ebay need them attached and it hurts the fingers to do so, I agree. These sort of sets definitely make me appreciate Lego's quality also!

I couldn't believe how big they were, I think the one for the till is rather bad given that I can't even trim it down to fit. I think one of the extra pieces, the black connector is supposed to be used for the mystery holes in the sides - I read somewhere that they're to connect the shop to other shops to make a sort of high street type row of shops. How have you got on with the coffee shop? Was it the Starbucks one that you were after?

[hobbitblue]

Very frustrating for sure given you can't cut them down.. I didn't know they could connect, though before I ordereed my coffee shop (which I've yet to get to, got distracted by the VW Beetle set thus far) I did watch a video by someone who has all or most of the shops and has set them up as a town square, which does look rather impressive - https://youtu.be/ghvc2ABSFok

That town square set up is quite impressive, it is very nice to see all the shops together like that. I noticed that he said in the video that the stickers for the 7 Eleven shop were too big so it wasn't just me!

The mis-sizing of the stickers is quite ridiculous lol

[ganimede]

I never liked putting on the stickers because I wanted them to be perfect and having them a bit crooked would annoy me for the rest of ever. But it's a lot easier when they actually fit!
