Happy September! Are you gearing up to go back to school? Well, hope you have time to check out this little building set from Sluban. It's another set of of their own design and not a fake Lego set. In this review we will look at this 79 piece set M38-B0519. I'm not sure what the name of the set is so I will just call it the Girl on a Scooter goes around the Fountain set.
The ebay listing which i won calls the set Fountain Motorcycle Kitten Girls, lol. Sounds like one of those 70's biker chick movies!!
Being such a small set, it only takes this two sided piece of paper to show you the building instructions. There are two components, the largest being the multi-level fountain and the purple scooter. The scooter parts are still on the plastic tree so you have to be careful when extracting them. I use a small X-acto knife to cut it away cleanly.
The set also comes with a girl mini-figure and her pet cat. As I've described in other Sluban set reviews, the minifigures are not compatible with Lego ones.
Here's a look at the fountain. It has three levels and two spigots presumably where the water runs out. It has lots of translucent blue elements to simulate water.
Here's a look at the Sluban minifigure and her cat which is perched on the rear of her scooter.
The purple scooter comes with a steerable front wheel, a kickstand and a headlight. The only thing Sluban could have added was a rear tail light. I also have acquired this scooter in tan and red colours.
I think there is a yellow version of it that I might get one day.
As far as play value, I suppose you could just make the girl and scooter go around and around the fountain. I think it will be more useful as a display piece, maybe to put into a park setting for my growing Its-Not-Lego town.
Ok, I quickly made this little parkette using a tree, a bush and a few flowers. Here's the fountain in the park setting just to see how it looks.
And here's the girl and her cat sitting on the fountain and just having a great day. Thanks for looking!
