We all remember LEGO (tm). You know, that toy that used to be made by the same company that now makes the Star Wars themed DIY design kits? I decided recently to import some samples from China, because when the copyrights fell off the design of the amazing brick system of course hundreds of Asian factories came with their own box. In this post I evaluate my personal experience with the kits of the three with a decent collection of boxes and relatively easy to find: • Sluban • KAZI • Enlighten If this review leads you to develop an interest in something, do let me know, enough positive reactions might lead me to do a one-off import session of a limited number of different boxes. Disclaimer In this review it is important to know that I have not bought any boxes of original LEGO (tm) past 2007 for myself to build, except the occasional board game. This is mainly due to the overly designed and complex building blocks used these days, and indeed the last boxes I did buy, that prevent real creativity.

This prevents me from commenting on the newest of the new LEGO (tm) series, apart from the NXT systems, with which I have worked for the First (tm) LEGO (tm) League.

Chance may have played a part in my conclusions and NO guarantee can be given of the quality until a good number of different boxes of a single brand have been evaluated by two or three level-headed people. Actual Review First, let's look at the boxes of the kits.

They're all basically the late 1990's action shot boxes. Simple, clear, good looking, just with a lot of Chinese characters I cannot read. Nice, isn't it? Booklets Well, up next are the booklets, I feel that all of them are a bit too concise for the age advertised on the box.

I have my doubts whether the complexity of a single step will be correctly executed by all children. But in a way this was sometimes also true of the genuine article all those years back. Sluban Sluban did its best to resemble the genuine booklets, with a small block indicating the parts to be used in a step, displayed next to the actual layer of parts to be added in vibrant colours, on top the faded colours of the previous step: KAZI & Enlighten That said, I did also enjoy the KAZI and the Enlighten booklets. They employ a similar tactic of using the blocks next to each step to show how a portion of that step should be built. Whether it's the wheel of the ship, or just how a few block should be arranged.
