The List of the 15 Most Expensive Lego Star Wars sets I found at Walmart Canada


If you are wondering what the most expensive Lego Star Wars sets being sold at Walmart Canada are, here is my list.  Of the top 15, there are only 3 sets that have not yet been cloned by Lepin, 75098 Assault on Hoth,  75148 Encounter on Jakku and 75092 Naboo Starfighter.



You can sort each of the table columns.

Pogo PG-647 Star Wars Obi Wan Kenobi Minifigure Review

Normally Pogo makes a pretty good bootleg of a Star Wars Lego minifigure.  But this PG-647 Obi Wan Kenobi minifigure is terrible.  Well from the torso up he's ok, but look at the colour difference of the robe he's wearing.  It doesn't even match.  His face and hairpiece is ok but his lower half, is Argh, I can't stand it.

Here is Obi Wan (Ben) Kenobi from the back. He's got a lot of excess plastic on the back of his hair.

This Ben Kenobi copy is from the Lego Mos Eisley Cantina 75052 set.

Obi Wan comes from the larger Pogo Star Wars minifigure set PG8021.

6 New Hsanhe Building Sets Spotted



Hsanhe is a Lego compatible building set brand.  It has created a series called Mini Street which consists of several small retail shops based on real life stores, such as McDonalds, Starbucks, Apple, KFC to name a few.  Those small shop sets cost under $10 USD and each building comes with two minifigures.

Now Hsanhe has upped the ante by creating another set of 6 buildings also in their Mini Street line.  These new small modular buildings are constructed along the same lines as the Lego Creator Corner Deli shop.  Each two storey shop is hinged in the middle so that it can be displayed as a corner shop.  These look to be original designs and not bootlegged from Lego sets. 

This new Hsanhe Mini Street series is numbered from 6700 thru 6705.   Each set has over 450 pieces with the biggest set being 500 pieces.  It looks like each set comes with 2 minifigures. I could only find 2 Ali stores on that sell them for a retail price of about $17 to 18 USD each.  That puts the new Hsanhe sets at about half the retail price of Lego Creator Corner Deli set.

Hsanhe 6700 Pet Shop, 466 pieces

Hsanhe 6701 Fashion Store, 462 pieces

Hsanhe 6702 Townhouse, 504 pieces

Hsanhe 6703 Market Shop, 458 pieces


Hsanhe 6704 Corner Bar, 472 pieces


Hsanhe 6705 Pool Hall, 472 pieces.
