Quite a cool set. The design and details are comparable to other more expensive sets. Also I am very impressed with the excellent tolerance especially technic parts. However, there are a few slight scratches on some pieces. But overall for the price you can't beat it!
Item arrived on time and in good condition. As advertised, the parts are identical to Lego and actually interchange perfectly with any Lego parts. The instructions are OK too. Since Lego had no plans to re-release the original 10179 set, I thought this was worth a shot.
I was skeptical at first being an alternative brand of Lego but I have to say it is amazing ! Qaulity is perfect everything was spot on I had so much fun building it ! Came in about a week and half ! I'm deff gonna be ordering more Technic sets from this store.
Top Qualität als wäre es keine Kopie.
Die Steine kamen in dem Originalen Karton (siehe Bilder).
Es hat kein Teil gefehlt, es waren eher zu viele steine doppelt drinne.
Der Versand war genauso schnell als wäre es innerhalb Deutschlands verschickt worden.
Werde auf jeden Fall da wieder bestellen.
set was ordered Nov 16th but not shipped until Dec 27. Did not get any message about set being on back-order until after I sent messages asking about where my order was. I had ordered this set as a Christmas gift for my son but did not receive it till about 5 Jan. When I was finally able to give this set to my son, we put it together in about 2 days, a lot of detail, very good with one notable exception. there were about 5 pieces missing. 4 of the pieces were able to be replaces with pieces from other sets, but one piece looks like a special part just for this set. spent 3 days trying to contact customer service to inquire about a replacement part, but the contact us link does not load and the online chat never gets any response.
-For the Ship with all the detail, I give very high marks
-For the manual on how to assemble, drop a star due to color variations (black parts are a light gray and gray parts are a dark gray, very confusing)
-For Customer service I give very low marks (No information if set is on back-order until you are demanding a response, unable to get any support for missing parts).
I received the product as described quickly. The set almost nearly Lego quality, and a good representation. Over all an attractive and fun build for children and adults.
I bought this train as my first compatible set. The set was fantastic really impressed with the quality and even came with original box in perfect condition. My only negative was the delivery times 5 week from placing order.
Shame it only took an afternoon to build with my daughter
Although a little concern that delivery of 6 sets that arrived in 3 separate shipments (1x, 3x and 2x), I am pleased to say that the good news is that they all arrived.
Shipped in boxes and taped extensively, they all arrived in excellent condition.
Yes, it takes a little longer and the shipment enters a void once they notify you that it has shipped but all good.
BuildingToyStore.com came recommended and I would concur.
I'm from uk and can honestly say iv had a great first experience with buildingtoystore. I already own the Lego version but wanted a low cost way of building an alternative model from the set. I can honestly say that there is very little difference between my Lego one and the compatible one expect the Lego writing on the bricks. Very much recommend and I will be buying from here again
It was my first purchase with Building Toy Store. At first there was some problems communicating, but I cancelled the first order and made a reorder. The problem was that they haven't shipped to my country before. But as soon as I reordered, they shipped the item and communication was better this second time also. The package arrived earlier than expected and in good shape. Also, it arrived in the original box. As far as I know, I searched a lot and this store was the only one that offered the option of buying it with the original box. I have to say that I'm very pleased with the overall experience and I will recommend them anytime and I will definitely order from them again. They also provided a tracking number so I can be aware where the package was every time.
Just finished building this kit. A very difficult build with lots of intricate sub assemblies. I found getting the exhausts correct to be one of the hardest. All in all a very satisfying challenge and the finished item is well worth the effort.
The set itself is beautiful, impressively detailed and comes with easy instructions. There are so many moving parts and hidden treasures in this set that it's as much fun to play with after you build it. The only problem is a few pieces don't hold as well as lego does. And I have glued some parts but have no problem with the final build.
Nach dem ersten Schreck bei der Anlieferung, das die Teile im Plastiksack in normalen Pappkarton versandt worden sind und die Bauanleitung mit seperatem Paket zwei Tage vorher ankam begann mit dem Zusammenbau der Sehr erfreuliche Teil des Bausatzes. Die Bauanleitung ist super verständlich (kleine Abstriche bei der Farbqualität.) Die Qualität der Teile ist hervorragend. Das Design des Bausatzes ist was die Detailfülle angeht phänomenal. Einzig die Gesichter der Minifiguren entsprechen nicht meinen Vorstellungen , aber hier kann dank der Kompatibilität mit Lego leicht abhilfe geschaffen werden.
Alles in allem ein tolles Set. Das ist nicht das letzten Set was ich von Xingbao gekauft habe.
Danke für viele Stunden ungetrübten Bauspaß
Recently completed the build of this kit.
Very satisfying to build with lots of very nice detailing. Sails look especially good.
The only downside is that as with many other compatible models I have built there seems to be a problem with the colour reproduction
in the instruction book. Some colours in the book are totally different from the actual colour of the parts.
