My Collection of Not Lego Buses in 2019

Hey There!  Here's a quick look at my Not Lego bus collection.  Using public transit in Its-Not-Lego town has never been easier.  You have your choice of buses made by Sluban, Wange, and Enlighten.

The first ever bus in my not lego collection was from the  Sluban set M38-B0333 Middle School Set.  The 500 piece set consisted of a school building and the school bus.
The bus was subsequently released on it's own as Sluban set M38-B0507.  The bus has 219 pieces.  There were stickers that came with the set but I didn't apply them to the bus.

Next up is the bus by Wange, set number is 30132.  The bus is comprised of 318 pieces.  I modified this bus slightly to lower the bus height.  I felt that the original bus height was a bit too tall.   This small bus is the Main street complimentary shuttle.

Here's another Sluban bus.  The set is M38-B0330 and has 235 pieces  This is another bus that I'ved modified, this time I increased it in length.  This is a long distance bus used to reach other towns.

 I used some extra white bricks and the Sluban M38-B0330 instructions to make this MOC bus.  I haven't figured out how to use this bus but I may change the colours on it to make it a special police bus.

Here's a double decker bus by Sluban, model is M38-B0331.  There's 403 pieces in this set.  It includes extra bricks to build a mini gas station.  This is the main bus that goes around Its-Not-Lego town. The problem with the design is that you can't remove the roof or top level to access the interior.  It's on my list of things to fix on this set.

Finally for visitors who come to do some sightseeing around town, there's the Enlighten brand Sightseeing bus 1123.  At 455 pieces, this is the largest bus in my collection.  Unlike all my other buses that are six studs wide, this bus is eight studs wide, so it doesn't really match.  My plan is to rebuild it as a six stud bus.  I also plan to change the really weird looking front windshield.

There's just one more bus on my wish list ... that would be the Lepin 02078 city bus. I've ordered it from Aliexpress, but not sure if it's available anymore. I'll let you all know if I get it or not.   Let me know which one is your favorite bus?   See you next time!

Lepin Not Lego Movie Themed Building Set List

The Lepin factories must be working all day and all night to churn out as many Lego bootleg sets as they can.  In this post, I've made a list of all the movie themed building sets that are available right now on Aliexpress.  This all started with the giant 4695 piece Ghostbusters Fire House, and was soon followed by the Simpson's Kwik-E Mart knockoff set.

I'm hoping one day that Lepin will knock-off the other Lego Ghostbusters sets namely the  Ecto-1 21108 set and the newest Lego Ecto-1 and 2 set 75828.

Lepin Not Lego Technic Series Set List - 2016

I've been wanting to compile a list of all the Technic building sets since October 2016, except that Lepin keeps coming out with new sets before I even start to type any text.  Now that we are in January 2017, I've made it my New Year's Resolution to curate this list before I start getting lazy again.  Lepin has recently changed the name of  it's Technics series to the Technician series.

This is going to be a long post.   Pictures of the sets from Aliexpress follow the table.   Oh, by the way, I've created this table so that you can sort any of the columns just by clicking the column heading.   Hope you like this feature.

Lepin 23011 - Avtoros Shaman 8x8

Wow, I counted 25 Technic sets that Lepin has copied!

I'm not sure how Lepin can get away with bootlegging the Lego 2017 lineup. before it's even released.  It's all very strange to me. Very interesting about the Avtoros Shaman 8x8, it's not an authentic Lego set but a custom creation.  I'm sure in a few days time, there will be more new Lepin Technic sets released, but hooray I completed my New Year's Resolution!   Thanks for visiting Its Not Lego!  Happy New Year to One and All!

Lepin Not Lego Iconic Buildings Set List - 2016

I think Lepin has copied every one of the iconic buildings that are part of the Lego Creator series. I have found five sets in the Lepin Buildings theme.   I would love to have every one of these sets except that I don't have enough room in my house for all of them.

Set		Description	Pieces	Lego Set and Status
17001		Agra India -  Taj Mahal	5952	10189 - Retired
17002		Paris France -  Eiffel Tower	3478	10181 - Retired
17003		Sydney Australia - Sydney Opera House	2989	10222
17004		London Great Britain - Tower Bridge	4295	10214
17005		London Great Britain - Big Ben	4163	10253

Pictures below.

Lepin 17001 Taj Mahal

Lepin 17002 Eiffel Tower

Lepin 17003 Sydney Opera House

Lepin 17004 Tower Bridge

Lepin 17005 Big Ben

All of these sets are absolutely huge with the smallest being the Sydney Opera House at 2989 pieces and the largest is the Taj Mahal with 5952 pieces.  I don't think you could just buy one of these sets.  You'd have to buy all of them and then build a really nice display to show them off next to each other.  How awesome would that be?
