2540PCS 62344 The Orient Express Train

It is not exactly a Lego clone.
Parts and instructions make you confuse.
Instruction is not good copied. So one time, you have the Lego built displayed. One Time you have the alternate built for few solutions. And you looking for parts all the time, because you are in between of both Solutions.
For exaexample the black Top of passage from one waggon into the other. The floor with the white special tiles. And the wheels with the black special tiles.
Both 2x12 plates were missing!
This is building Step 3. I looked in all Part Bags at the beginning.
This is also very confusing ans frustrating.
The Part quantity is not right. You don't know, if you missed something or it is extra. Or the story with the alternate building solutions with remaining parts.
The minifigures are not very close. So if you change the parts on minifigures, please change the instructions too.
I'm used to get better quality from joybricks.

But this was the first set with such issues.

Good build, missing pieces and not so great stickers.

Having said that - for the fraction of the real deal it was a fun build.

Great rendition of the famous Orient Express.

The kit was very good. Colour matching was fine, the supplied stickers were excellent quality although I should mention there’s a lot more stickers than supplied with the original kit. There were some alternative brick pieces to the original which again were fine.

There was a few areas where the clamping force wasn’t great especially around the carriage roofs which was sorted by adding extra plate pieces to add some reinforcement.

The instructions had an addendum sheet which are in Chinese which didn’t help much but the instructions are available in PDF on the internet.

All in all a great build although only for display as I don’t think it would hold up to a child playing with it.
