Covid will be assisting me in this blog and on my channel for the meantime. So say hello to my new mascot, Covid!! He came ifrom the same brand as Kuto, and he was also in an egg shell when i got him.

JULY 2020 HAUL

Of course, I wont have any content for my channel without new stuff to unbox, build, and put review here on my blog. So I went to Shopee a couple of days ago to place an order, and yesterday, my first orders came to mail.

I actually filmed my unpacking of this haul from Shopee, for my first video for my channel. You can watch it below (not sure if will work on mobile, you might ned to clik 'view web version' below the blog if you are using your phone) or you can visit the direct link to the video here.

Unboxing video:

Its like an ASMR kind of unboxing, no background music, just the noise in the background and the sound made by the package and its contents, when I unpacked it lol.

So here's what my first package contains:

The first one is a 8 in 1 set from SY or Sheng Yuan, Ninja (ripoff of Ninjago). They are minifigures of the 7 main characters, and 1 villain. They came with mini builts, and 2 of them has a mini dragon build.

As I stated before in one or some of my posts, my favorite LEGO themes were Chima and Marvel superheroes, however I think they already discontinued Chima, and so the knock-off companies stopped replicating them too, so now my new fave is the Ninjago theme.. because of the dragons and the characters too, Im actually binging the animated series on youtube these days to know more about it.

The second set is also a 8 in 1 collection from Sembo, which is also a company related to SY. Its a holiday themed set, featuring minifigures and builds with Christmas theme. One of the boxes doesnt even have a minifigure, but a reindeer and sleih build instead!! 

(I know its still July, bit when I saw this on Shopee, i cant help but get it since the seller where I also got the Ninja sets, only has 1 of this left on stock.. also its cheap, and it has awesome features.)

And lastly, a 4 pack set of bigger elemental dragons from Sembo's Ninja series. They came with 1 minifig and 1 dragon build each. I already own the white one, with questionable minifig character, and i even posted a review and building photos of it before.. 

I still have the white dragon and the minifig, but the dragon has lost some parts of it wings, so I made changes on it and gave it a littpe different look, so i will have 2 different dragons, but with same  features, making them look like a pair.

THE POOR COLLECTOR

Please coninue supporting the blog even if it lacked updates for a long time, and also the new youtube channel. I will be making unboxing and building videos of the said sets above, as well as make review entries here too!!

Kuto will have to rest soon, but he will still make appearances with Covid in upcoming posts and videos Ive already been working on.

I also have few more stuff coming from other sellers online, so the blog and channel will be jammed packed for a while.. hopefully, if it finds success, forever.

Adventures of KUTO :: Ep 1 :: Kuto and The Poor Collection

Kuto, the Wange Monster, finally got his day-off, after being my blog mascot for some days. 😒😝 what a spoiled little f*ck.. I'll just let him enjoy the last day of each month, and dedicate a post for Kuto.

"Finallee!! izz Kuto'z Day!! #KutoRulezJune"

..And for his forst day-off, I let Kuto roam around my brick-building table and take photos with some members of The Poor Collection.

[WANGE] Wange Monsters 6201 - Eye Beast

When it comes to gimmicks, these bootleg companies who rips LEGO products are just as creative and will always comes up with the silliest way to sell their stuff. Take for example tgis Mixels rip-off from Wange..

BRAND: WANGE

SERIES: Wange Monsters

PRICE: 89.75PHP (about $1.50 US)

It does look like a creepy critter from Mixels, an official series from LEGO,where in you get to build cute creatures with exagerated sizes and numbers of body parts. One thing that Wange tops over everyone elses who rip-off Mixels, though theres not much brands who faked this series, is that they sealed the pieces and parts in an egg-like capsul, making it look like you will have to hatch your little monster.

JUNE 2018 HAUL!! Super Heroes, Ninja, Star Fighter, and a Mixels rip-off?? [Variuous Brands]

BACK IN BIZ
I'm finally back to collecting and reviewing bootlegs and rip-offs of LEGO minifigures and sets.. well, I didnt actually stopped collecting, I just took a long rest from blogging. But thanks to some encouraging by my college friend, EJ, and from someone special who shows much support to my writing and blogging, but not much to toy collecting 😅😅 I'm all back.. hopefully. LOL

JUNE 2018 HAUL
I did had some bootlegs joining my collection while I'm away from blogging, and now that I decided to get back to doing reviews, I got some new (not really) items for my future posts!! Went to Ayala Fairview Terraces to get some minifigures and sets of different brands..

SONNY's TOY ART (finds)
One of my favorite hobby stores in Fairview Terraces, not only they sell cheap LEGO rip-offs, but their gallery of custom action figures and pop culture statues are to die for. In this store, I got...

Some loose Justice League and bootleg Ninjago minifigure boxes from LELE, DECOOL, and Duo Le Pin Toys. DLPT is my new fave brand. Also from DLPT are 2 sets of Super Heroes builds from Spider-Man Homecoming movie. Heroes Assemble's Magneto with Jet Fighter (I dont know wat its called, I dont read chinese) from Sheng Yuan (SY). And Ninja Thunder Swordsman also from SY.

I always wanted to get these Ninja boxes because of the simple build dragons included. I think here are 4 designs but I only got the white dragon, with white ninja, Cole. god, I hope it is him. because you'll never know with these fake brands, until you open the box, and all the letters on the box are in chinese. 😣

These ones, I was a little disappointed.. not because of the brand or the sets themselves.. but because their set builds can be combined with other builds from the same series, but I unfortunately just found out about it now, and I didnt picked the right partners.. 😢😢 more about it once I made the review entry for this blog!!

These are the minifigs. 2 different brands of Ninjago rip-offs, Wu and evil looking Nya. And I didnt gave a closer look before I bought them, but I just found out Wonder Woman and Aquaman comes with a mini-build karts!! 😂

And so does Master Wu!! So cool, he comes with a mini-build white dragon. wonder how it looks compared to Zane's.

METRO DEP. STORE (finds)

The toy section of this department store not only has real deal LEGO products and other authentic stuff in it, but they also sell low quality brands and bootlegs!! Talk about diversity, hahaha.

I however only bought 2 items from the toy section, because they are still pretty pricey compared to other stores, and I just know they are sold almost half the price by other sellers. I just didnt want to wsste my time visiting it so I got a Mixels replica stored in a plastic egg container, I think its called Wange Monsters, maybe, its brand is WANGE. And a Star Fighter mini build with an Astronaut minifigure from JUBILIX.

So excited to open them all!! I'll surely make a review for all of them, complete with unboxing photos. Infact.. I already started opening some. And first ones that will receive a review post...

😊😊😊 for the mean time.. enjoy my previous posts from 2 years ago!! Hehe
