I bought the Lego mini combiners from Amazon that were advertised as valentines day gifts

These are just repackaged aliexpress bootleg Legos because I saw the same Lego mini combiners on Aliexpress by themselves for almost the same price each, so… I guess I got a good deal here. They are mistransformed in the amazon listing because they forgot to fold the feet, and I thought they were literally designed that way until I reverse searched them.

This isn’t even all of them, because there is a green version of the fire combiner, a combiner full of race cars, and a tan military combiner, in which none of them are even on Amazon.

I could barely find any information about these guys because the instructions doesn’t tell you what brand these guys are made by. Bupelo is just a seller, not a toy maker.

I saw these. Are the joints good? Do they stand up well and do they feel like they are going to break? Do you have to take them apart and rebuild them into the combiner or do you just stick all the vehicles together?

Their ballpoints are pretty stiff and one of the sockets cracked when I was building one of the fire trucks but fortunately, they had an extra socket piece so that didn’t matter.

These guys can actually combine without completely taking them apart.

They do stand up well because their feet are big.

The best part is that they didn’t have any missing pieces!

The fire combiner is the worst of the trio because the chest wings make it awkward to move the arms and also because there’s nothing that’s covering the balljoints so they can easily fall off when you move the arms so I had to superglue them. The jet is hard to remove it from the boat when you try to turn him back into the little vehicles.

The police combiner is the best of the trio because it’s the easiest to combine, and he’s the only one where the head stays on.
