Quick review of BBLOCKS American M3 Half-Track (the MFG has mistakenly named this set on all documentation as a German SD.KFZ.250 Half-Track or Hanomag)
Name: American M3 Half-Track
MFG: BBLOCK or FREE COMBINATION UNLIMITED EXPANSION
PN#: XJ-932
Brand: Collector Construction Sets
PCS: 499
Figs: 2
Year: 2017 (estimate)
Ok lets start off with the first Elephant in the room the manufacture of this set is kinda unknown online. The manual has the MFG listed as "FREE COMBINATION UNLIMITED EXPANSION" as the company on the back, while on Aliexpress most stores selling these and other sets from this company show boxes with a logo for BBLOCK.
Second Elephant is what ever MFG made this set they named it incorrectly it is an American M3 Half-Track not a German SD.KFZ.250 Half-Track
Alright for the review, this set is a complete rip off of MEGA set CYR79 Mega Bloks® Call of Duty Legends: Half Track Ambush. The main change is the treads MEGA used rubber treads and this set uses the individual interlocking links. The block quality is mediocre, lots of flash and bad mold points. The blocks do have tight hold, well some do. The treads do not rotate properly, the treads will pull the running wheels off their posts if forced to rotate.
The figs are the MEGA style mini action figs, they come completely disassembled and will hurt your finger when assembling them. They come with two sprues of weapons and tools.
Overall this set is not very "good" it just has a cheap feel to the build and parts. Almost forgot my set was missing parts for the heavy machinegun shown on the manual.
