Joe Bricks: Lepin 15019 Assembly Square 4002 Pcs Review

Hello friends and welcome to another Lepin modular set review. This time I will take a look on Lepin set number 15019 which represent exact copy of Lego Assembly Square set number 10255.

This year Lego is celebrating 10th year for Modular Buildings line. Those over 2000 pieces sets are most definitely fan favorites. In October 2016 Lego announced set number 10255 Assembly Square.

This set contains pack of Easter eggs celebrating 10 years of these fantastic sets, and is the largest modular yet with 4,002 pieces. Now we will take a look at Lepin copy of this set.

Assembly Square contains 4002 pieces.

Build and Brick quality

For the first time as far as i know Lepin send bricks in numbered bags. Not exactly as a Lego with big number on each. Mine came with numbered bags with different parts so when i find first 10 and mixed it it was enough for first floor. For set with 4002 pieces this is definitely a big help for assembly. Other thing you will notice is the quality of the bricks. No blueish transparent pieces just nice and clear. More vulnerable to scratch then the Lego one but still it is improvement. What can i say ? You still know this is not a original one but for the price it is worth. Base plate was disappointment for me, plate 16*32 was not crafted well and i had a problems at beginning some bricks just jumped out. Later when more bricks hold this 2 base plates problem was gone. Anyway Lepin should work on this in future and if you have an original Lego base plates just use them.

Divided into the sections, you can see all separate rooms and floors.

Bakery

I like the idea of small bakery filled with very nice crafted cakes. In the corner there is an oven with some cupcakes inside. If you have problem with opening small doors you can use the mechanism from outside and remove cupcakes easily. On the wall is some fancy cakes on display. Real deal is huge wedding cake in the front window. Cake is build by round wheel hub, and also there are 1x1 round pieces on the top which represents bride and groom.Bakery windows are made using garage door panels, as the reference to Town Hall set. From the bakery, there is a passage to the Flower Shop.

Cakes and sweets everywhere.

Flower Shop

Small looking but detailed shop. On the wall behind cashier is removable section with pre-maded flower bouquet. By the entrance of the shop customer is greeting parrot.


Parrot welcomes customers.

Coffee Shop

There are few seats indoor and outdoor for customer seating. Inside the coffee shop there is small bar table and clever build espresso machine. From the backside there is stairway to second level of this building. Reference to Cafe corner designers hide into the white-yellow marquise.

Coffee and cakes nice small coffee shop

Photography studio
Not much things inside. But the real deal is old school camera. Only 20 pieces used to craft this nice looking camera with tripod. On the wall is rool of paper hanging at the top and creating studio backdrop wallpaper. On the wall is portrait of some old guy in a business suit. As far as i remember i thing i saw this picture also in Brick Bank director office.

Old guy on the wall, maybe brick bank manager ?

Dentist’s office

The Dentist’s office contain very simple front desk with a phone and magazines for patients. Exam area is full of nice build-ed things. The sink is made by new piece a 1x2 45 degree slope with tile. Drawers are hiding some dentist tools including a billy club. I do not want to imagine what a dentist needs to do with one of those. Exam chair is done very nicely but Lepin pieces does not hold the light properly and the connection is bit loose. You can fix it by replacing with original Lego pieces. Printed glass window says words "Prevent Yellowing". Long-time Bricks fans will get this reference.

Prevent yellowing ?

Music Shop

Shop contains 4 musical instruments inside. Drum kit looking great even only few parts are used to build it. On the wall there is a red electric guitar and a classic acoustic guitar. Saxophone completes last shop instrument but not the last one in set. Small desk for cash register.

Wonder if anybody playing stairway to heaven when testing new instruments.

The Dance Studio

As i mention before last musical instrument of this set is placed inside the dance studio. Well crafted, wonderfully designed upright piano with pedals. Otherwise room is just empty only few bars and reflective mirror on the wall. I can see in my head someone playing classical music on piano and girls practicing ballet.

Mirror is really reflecting even it feels like paper.

Apartment

The best one for the end. The Loft Apartment. This room guys, oh my god, it is packed with so much details inside. This is place where Lego fan lives. Let me correct, this is place where Lepin fan lives. I will explain later. All over the room there is a micro version of Cafe Corner set, Market Street and Green Grocer set on the self. Small kitchen with microwave and tiny bathroom. For a such a small apartment there is no space for bed. Designers used instead clever pull-out couch that actually transforms into the bed. Sometimes i had a issue to pull it out with my hands. Near the window is placed train layout with some landscaping and train represents Horizon Express going around. On the second shelf there is a micro version of VW Camper Van and Mini Cooper. Eiffel Tower is displayed at the window. So back to Lepin fans. If you want to decorate your apartment those days with all those sets you have to be rich or get Lepin :-) because most of these sets are already retired. There is an acces point and skylight on the roof. Roof top patio contains some furniture, plants and grilling party area.

Baby is so cute.

Minifigures
Lepin really works on the quality last months. There is eight minifigures included in this set and cute little baby with white body clothes. There is also old school baby trolley in nice red color.
