△Compared to the first release, the number of bricks has been halved, but it still maintains the layout of two buildings plus a telephone pole and a big tree.


△The back of the box gives a very brief introduction to some details, and the number of minifigures has been reduced to eight.


△The inner box design is the same as the first release, but the destination is now 2005.


△The instruction manual, stickers, light-up elements, and strings are all placed in this bag.


△The number of pages in the instruction manual has increased.


△The layout of “Daily News” has also been upgraded.


△Background information has been added for the minifigures as well.


△A large number of patterns in the set are divided between stickers and printed parts, roughly in equal proportions. Stickers are mostly used for places where cross-brick application or difficult printing is required.


△The bricks are divided into 10 step bags, along with additional plates and minifigure bags.


△Start by assembling the minifigures. Noticed that the minifigures’ arms and legs use a modular design like Senbao, significantly improving the look of short sleeves. However, Han Yanfen’s hairstyle was incorrectly matched.


△The first bag assembles the entire base. You can see it still uses an irregular shape, which may be uncomfortable for those who prefer traditional street scene scales.


△In all my years of assembling building blocks, this is the first time I’ve seen printed details inside a brick’s cavity!


△First, assemble the part of Yanfen’s Photo Studio.


△The level of detail is terrifyingly high! Next, start assembling the New Century Video Store beside it. Based on my experience, the interior of this part will be hard to photograph after assembly, so I took a picture now.


△Can you all guess what these things are? The level of detail is insane!


△As expected! After adding the rolling shutter door, taking a clear, close-up shot of the interior has become nearly impossible.


△Before finishing this part, the light-up elements hidden in the video store were very difficult to use, and I couldn’t figure it out for a long time, so I decided to move on for now.


△The internet café part is coming up, and the detail monster strikes again!


△Continuing the assembly of the internet café. The level of detail on this shelf is just too much!


△Starting the final stage: Han Yanfen’s home!


△Another room filled with details.


△Okay, sealing the roof!


△The details on the telephone pole…


△Finished!


△Wearing the uniform of Weiji High School, equipped with headphones and holding a cassette tape. The arms use a modular design.


△When I saw this name, I immediately thought of Hu Yanfen. Even though the hairstyle is wrong, it doesn’t matter since there’s no original model to compare to. The legs are modular too.


△Uncle Li


△Li Ming


△Li Hua


△Li Lei, a character who appeared in the first release, now upgraded from a primary school student to a junior high student.


△Uncle Wang


△The old man playing chess also appeared in the first release. This outfit, plus the keys hanging from his waist, and the small watch repair stall! What has he gone through in these eight years? Will Weiji write a spin-off story for him?


△This tricycle may seem ordinary, but once you see the Southern Brand logo on the body, you know it’s something special. But why do all the wheels lack tire rubber?


△Finally back to the buildings! Let’s admire the beautiful photos from different angles~


△The details are definitely the most attractive part of the 80s-90s series. Even though the size has been halved this time, the content is still at a terrifying level. Let’s start with Yanfen’s Photo Studio. There were many such shops back then, even though digital cameras had started to become popular, people’s habits hadn’t changed. They still liked to print out all their photos. Additionally, they offered artistic photo services, which involved some editing—basically the first generation of beauty filters.


△Using just stickers to represent the calendar feels a bit out of place…


△Photo booths for instant prints were also very popular at the time.


△Of course, the photo studio also offered services for taking various ID photos.


△The store is divided into front and back sections.


△They even made a dedicated cutting table for trimming photos!


△The back section is the area for taking photos.


△The back wall has a folding design for easier playability.


△Next to the photo studio is a staircase leading to the second floor, and beside it is a large Weiji Town bulletin board.


△The “Weiji Brothers” brand air conditioner makes another appearance!


△This narrow stairwell is also filled with advertisements.


△Climbing the stairs leads to Han Yanfen’s home. There are couplets on the door, and clothes and quilts are hung outside to dry.


△One of the walls in the room also uses a folding design.


△The TV is showing the hit drama “It Started with a Kiss.” However, there’s a bug here—the calendar in the photo studio clearly shows it’s August 1, 2005, but the drama didn’t premiere until September 25.


△The details on the desk are once again astounding!


△The top bunk has a teddy bear and a novel of “It Started with a Kiss”!


△Now we move to the New Century Video Store. At that time, Apple’s iPod had already reached its 4th generation, but CDs and DVDs were still popular in China, and even cassettes hadn’t fully phased out.


△Seeing the familiar album covers like “Fantasy,” which was released in 2001, and “89757,” released in 2005, brings back memories of taking them home after buying them.


△If you enlarge the image, you can even see the price of the CDs!


△The layout features a front and back storefront design, but the interior space is very small. The use of a rolling shutter door is creative, but it makes installing the lights on the top difficult, and when the door is open, it blocks the light, wasting the rich interior details.


△From the outside, the second floor looks like an internet café. The windows are not only printed but also designed to slide open.


△The Starry Theater sign on the roof only has the sign, but no store—perhaps it’s a teaser for the next release?


△There is a big tree outside the other door of the video store. This time, the tree’s structure has been simplified a lot, which is great news for me since I really hate assembling trees!


△Under the tree, there’s a rocking chair, and on the ground, there’s a printed hopscotch game for children.


△The internet café is accessed by stairs next to the video store.


△The stairs even have printed details!


△The exterior wall has a folding design, but due to the limited interior space, it’s hard to photograph.


△On the other side of this building, there’s a small watch repair stall.


△And next to it, there’s a barbershop!


△Let’s take a look around at other places.


△Weiji’s attention to detail is unmatched… Take a look at the roof next to the telephone pole—there’s even printed bird

Q/A(This will help you understand how we get things done)

Does your store have w/o BOX option?
Most Building Blocks we sell in-store come with boxes. (Products sold without the original box will be noted in the listing.)

Why do I see so many item marked as “coming soon”
For "coming soon" items: once you place an order, we will restock and ship them within 3 to 5 business days. Once items arrive at our warehouse, their status will update to "in stock." If an item remains "coming soon," it simply means no orders have been placed yet. In the rare event we cannot source your item, a full refund will be issued.


Why is your shipping for bigger items so slow?
Buying big Building Blocks often means facing high shipping costs, sometimes more than the product. So, we prefer sea freight for these items. The drawback is the 40-70 day delivery time with tracking stopping until the package arrives in your country, typically updating about 30 days before arrival. On the bright side, with the reduction in shipping costs, the product prices will also decrease.

Is it possible for me to upgrade to a faster logistics mode instead of sea freight even if it means paying extra?
Yes, it is possible. You can simply contact our staff or send an email to afelix@chowbrick.com for assistance on how to upgrade.

I'm interested in some bricks that your store doesn't have.
We carry a wide range of building blocks, but we can't list every set. If a product you want isn't available, use the link to submit a request. If we haven't stocked it within 1-2 weeks, we may be having sourcing difficulties. However, we can usually find it.


How will you address product quality or missing part issues?
We have a complete after-sales system to assist our buyers. If you encounter any problems, you can fill out this form. Moreover, the after-sales services are completely free of charge. If you encounter unsolvable problems, we may choose to resend the item or issue a refund for you.

How will I deal with customs duty?
We usually leverage logistics for efficient customs clearance, typically incurring no extra duties.
