Anko Mini Blocks - 12 in 1 Vehicle Robot Review

During my trip to Sydney early this year, Brick model products called Anko Mini Blocks quickly become my favorite shortly after my encounter with their lineups in K-Mart. In my early acquisitions, one of the more elaborate pieces I managed to obtain is this particular 12-in-1 Vehicle robot. This specimen is rather peculiar one since Anko Block products generally catered to masses so Mecha are not exactly their priority but it is one of the rarity exceptions.

For a Brick Model cost 8 AUD, the value offered by this Vehicle robot brick model from Anko easily surpass its price by quite a leap. In this set you can either make a Yellow Vehicle Robot which is likely inspired by Bumblebee and Devastator from transformers or 12 different construction vehicles. No interchangeable transformation and limited articulation, but the value-for-money already pushed beyond its price.

Given the Anko miniblock brand lineup focus on sellthrough over craftsmanship, It is unfortunate that the sort of products like this Vehicle robot is once in a blue thing since it is not considered profitable enough. But it is one of the better specimen that Anko miniblock ever made for their lineup.
