Enlighten Heavy Duty Steam Locomotive: Compared to the LEGO Hogwarts Express and Emerald Night

Posted on 19. May, 2012 by Toy Expert.

In this video we will look at the Heavy Duty Steam Locomotive, and we will compare them to the Hogwarts Express locomotive and the Emerald Night locomotive. Many people have asked me to show some of my LEGO and LEGO compatible trains. This is the one of several videos where I will share some of the trains that I have, and possibly introduce you to a new player in the brick market. Enlighten Brick makes LEGO compatible toys, of comparable quality. And as LEGO quality continues to decline, it just makes brick companies such as Enlighten that much more of a bargain.

LEGO and Chuggington, with a little Justin Bieber too

Posted on 18. Apr, 2012 by Toy Expert.

In this video we will look at the display table I have be using in most of my newer videos. It is the Chuggington Wooden Railway Play Table by KidKraft from Toys R Us. This table is not only the perfect size for your Chuggington or Thomas and Friends wooden railway play sets, it is also the perfect size for building and filming your LEGO sets. And in this video you will see it in action with several of my LEGO sets including the T-Rex Hunter set, the Space Shuttle Adventure, the LEGO Modular Buildings, and my BanBao Aircraft Carrier. It also works well for videos of Justin Bieber being eaten by alligators. Even if you don’t use this Chuggington table for Chuggers or Thomas trains, this table allows you to have an area of your own to build your LEGO sets without having to take up the entire dinning room or kitchen table; it becomes a LEGO space of your own. The slow motion footage was filmed at 240 fps (frames per second) with my new Casio Exilim EX-ZR100 camera.

LEGO Mini Figs and Enlighten Mini Figs: Are they the same?

Posted on 14. Mar, 2012 by Toy Expert.

In this video we will look at some of the mini figs that come with the Enlighten train sets. We will compare them side by side with LEGO mini figs, and we will see that they are not only fully compatible, but that they are almost impossible to tell apart. The easiest way to tell the difference between these Enlighten mini figs and the LEGO mini figs in this video, is to look at their hands. The Enlighten hands are a slightly different color than the hands on the LEGO mini figs. The Enlighten mini figs in this video came from various Enlighten train sets, but most of them came from the following sets: Enlighten Passenger Car #628: www.a2ztoystore.com Enlighten Deluxe Passenger Car #624 www.a2ztoystore.com Enlighten Steam Freight Locomotive: www.a2ztoystore.com Also included in this video was the dinning table from the LEGO Hogwarts Castle set #4842: shop.lego.com And passenger cars from the following LEGO sets: LEGO Emerald Night set #10194 search2.lego.com LEGO Hogwarts Express set #4841 shop.lego.com BUY MY eBOOKS HERE: For your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iBooks and on your computer with iTunes: itunes.apple.com For your Kindle at Amazon: www.amazon.com For your Nook at Barnes and Noble: www.barnesandnoble.comBUY MY BOOKS HERE: Snapshots In Time Buy it at Amazon www.amazon.com The Book Depository.
