Review of CrystalLand 99038 Red Speedster



Trying out something new, a brick set from CrystalLand 99038 Red Speedester. The kit can be made into 3 different models. But for this, I will make only the one displayed on the cover.




The clutch is great and at times, it can be a little too snug but no major complaints so far. 




The light is a little faint with the bricks on but it does look nice in person. An interesting kit, recommend for the young at heart.

Review of the SuperNova MG Sandrock Custom






Starting on the next kit from the SuperNova series..the Sandrock Custom. This one looks inspired from the Gundam Wing series kit, Sandrock. So without further ado, we start off.



The chest piece has no issues. The plastic is good. and no fitting issues either.


The head is pretty decent and very tight fit so no loose pieces falling off..yet


Chest and head piece combined. Looks good so far.



Arms and shoulders. The snap fit is good, the plastic is fair quality. The runners are undergated mostly but sometimes that can be a problem because of the nooks and crannies that the runners have to be cut to get the piece out.



Legs and waist piece. Great look and excellent snap fit.



Now is the tough part, getting the top and bottom portions snapped in together is tough and takes a toll on the fingers to push it in all. On the reverse side, the connection is very firm and will hold.




The blades and the shields. Point to note, those pointy things are really pointy so be careful with them. Had one of them prick me and draw blood. You have been warned.



The completed kit. Even with all odds and ends fixed on, the kit can stand on its own. It looks very impressive. But that's not all. The creme de la creme is coming up.



The impressive bit is the cloth that came with the the kit, which is supposed to replicate a cloak for the kit. The good thing is that the cloth does not feel cheap or easy to rip. A very pleasant surprise for me really.

I would definitely recommend this kit because of its quality and design.
