EMCO BRIX #8822 - HIGHWAY BREAKOUT




Found this in one of the local supermarkets and overall not to bad a purchase. It is our understanding that these bricks originate in Indonesia. A 3 in 1 set, with instructions included for all three options. It must however be noted that there are one or two oddities with the set.

Lets start with the mini-figs, they have square heads! One came completely assembled, the other in a separate poly bag needing to be put together. They are of moderate quality and have a certain amount of appeal at the end of the day.


With each build, there is a fair amount of extra pieces left over. It must be noted that one of the pieces was miss-formed and we had to scratch around to find a replacement. (It is important to note that no miss-formed pieces were found in the second box we opened.)





 The set is neatly packed in three large poly-bags and has a very clear and easy to follow instructions.



Build 1; fork-lift



Build 2; Transporter



Build 3; Main Build










We enjoyed each build, with each model providing some interesting details & features. Overall a reasonably good quality brick, compatible with leading brands and the set provides for useful pieces at a very reasonable price.
