BRICKKK Retro Tribute Camera Building Set, Vintage Movie Projector Building Kit, Retro Film Projector Blocks Set, Makes a Fun Gift for Adult Builders and Fans

Very good Would buy again Works great

My son and I put this one together in fairly short order. The lenticular screen was warped a little, so it didn’t lay flat when we tried to insert it into the build. Because of that, the image didn’t work like it should, but since that’s a decorative side piece, it wasn’t a big deal.Over all, it’s a fun build with interesting pieces. The concept is cool, too. The execution, however, leaves a bit to be desired: the legs don’t hold up while trying to turn the crank, and you need to make sure the usb connector for the light is pulled all the way to the edge of the build or the power line won’t fully engage and your light won’t come on. The “film” itself is more like a viewmaster wheel, which is fine, but the image is so out of focus and hard to see even at the specified focal length, that it doesn’t really “work” to watch it like a movie.But it looks cool and if you only click it a couple of times, it holds up in use. Much more than that and your legs will be wobbly under the weight and pressure of all the clicking when you turn the crank.

I’ve purchased a few Pantasy sets and have had good results each time. The customer service was quick and helpful

Detailed and working

My first impression upon opening this was, "can you find a bigger box?", as the parts were WAY down, settled into less than half the size of the LARGE box. I'm not a fan of supersize in boxes, as I've a full closet full of Lego and sometimes combine 4 or 5 sets into one box, WITH their boxes! Waste! VERY fancy "Pantasy" packaging/bags (I'm not sure if they're compensating for something or not) with numbers such as Lego uses. And a pink tool with Pantasy printed on it too... wow! 🤔The build proceeded with very good fit of the clone Lego. I don't know if it was my lighting or my old eyes but I had the dickens of a time deciphering between the yellow parts and tan/beige in the manual. Mostly the build was easy, though I did find a couple of spots that I had some confusion over. I'm still not sure if the camera lens was supposed to be slightly moveable, but it was left such according to manual. Perhaps a focus? I'm not sure as didn't seem enough movement to really adjust anything, just one side left with perhaps an 1/4" play on the + axle. When I plugged it in and attempted to play the "movie", a small circle disk of "film" with 8 tiny pictures on it (2 are included, but the second one looked b/w "flip-animation" and very boring so not used) there was a problem in the connection between the USB-C plug from the USB VERY SHORT cord, to the USB-C plug that powered the "lamp" (and led lit clear button brick) so it wouldn't stay on well enough for me to adjust the range to the wall. Basically you need to have a USB connection at the right distance to begin with (my computer wasn't) for the focal length. I couldn't get anything but some very blurry images, and even then the "lamp" kept cutting out due to the faulty connector. Seems that in the LED brick/wiring to the USB-C plug there's an issue. When you turned the crank, the pictures changed one by one, though the registration was poor on some of the images, seems perhaps there's too much play in the works for sharp registration of pics.My major "Thematic" issue with the item was the very silly "theater" type feature on the side of the camera. Using a lenticular print (I had to look it up, I couldn't remember what these were called either, but remembered them from Magic Viewer etc of my youth) they put a small theater opening/curtain thingy on one side of the camera, and to top it off, dangly curtain bits that are VERY easy to knock off every time you move the camera as they are only held on by one knob on top, and 2 are about 5 1/2 bricks long. They always end up non-perpendicular and to me are an eyesore, along with the silliness of a camera with an TV screen (?)/theater on the side of it, and this is supposed to be retro?There are some cool parts here, and they match with Lego perfectly, but I really can't recommend this build as I find too many issues for my taste. I will snag those "reels" for a MOC motorcycle though. 😎The GOOD: Quality Lego clone partsDecent manual very well printedNumbered bags made easy buildingNo stickers. Has printed blocksThe IFFY: Somewhat fragile in places, Camera "lens/hood" disconnects when attempting "focus", Theatercurtain/long tassels, one foot feel offReally don't like the "theater" on the side of the Camera, but that could be personal tasteMechanicals really not up to sharp registration of picturesVery few sparesNo parts listHuge oversized boxThe "tick" mechanism give a rubber band powered SMACK every turn of the crank, which tendsto defeat any "focus" or my attempts to keep the LED "lamp" on.The BAD: Lamp underpowered for projector, USB-C-LED wire/connector faultyNo real focus (the lens/hood moves about 1 brick, but very spastically, not smooth)Very short USB cord if you want to focus at about 4'Advertising such as "The built-in electronics breathe life into your animations", come-on folks,it's an LED wired to a USB-C connector, and POORLY at that or it would stay on and work!

The first 1/2 of the build went well. However, the second half, starting with putting the stage together was poor. The first part was so good and fun to put together, but the second half of the build ruined the fun.Based this, I will not buy a Pantasy project again.

I had a lot of fun putting this projector together. It took me around 5 hours between 2 days to put it together. I had a few extra pieces, which was to be expected per the instruction manual. I had no issues with broken or missing pieces. In fact, these are the closest bricks to Lego I have found as far as feel of the bricks and quality of the bricks. The only issue I did experience was when I went to test the projector after it was all completed. I had trouble connecting the two USB cords together because I did put the internal cord close enough to the outside of the projector to be able to push the external cord in all the way. The only way to fix it was to take a good chunk of the build apart in order to adjust the cord. The manual recommends that your projection surface be at least 1.2 meters away from the projector, which was very difficult for me to achieve due to the very short cord that was provided. Overall, I enjoyed this build very much and look forward to purchasing other sets by them.

This was fun to build! ^_^ a really neat idea and a conversation piece!
