Here we are again with another Poundland Brick Set, this time we've gone all Space themed and got the Star Fighter set.
This product was £1 and the company on the box is BuildX, this is the Outer Space collection. The model is a Star Fighter.
First off we're pretty impressed with the amount of pieces you get, 53 is nothing to be sniffed at. We should add that 11 pieces were solely the mini figure.
The Quality feels VERY cheap, I mean plastic feel but as I said before it's not real Lego and will never have the same feel. One thing I did notice while building, which you will quickly see in the video, is a few of the pieces won't stay in place even after a good push. It did fall apart a few times as I built it and I don't think it would last long during playtime with kids. BUT......I think using super glue will sort that out although sadly that does take away the 'Rebuild' factor.
Compared to some sets we've bought this one is a great size to play with Lego Mini-Figs as you can see they fit nicely.
All around it's a nice little cheap and cheerful set and I can see a lot of potential for play or just for visual value. If it does fall apart that easy and super glue is the only option then so be it, you can always add stuff to the fixed spaceship and still have fun.
For the few faults I personally found I would give it 3/5 bricks rating because it's still a great little toy once finished.

I hope you enjoyed that little video, it really is fun making brick builds and I'm looking forward to reviewing more cheaper alternatives to Lego.
Have fun everyone and tatty bye
