This was the second time we did a review on Zhegao Modular Building series which in turn based on Brickative’s design. The design was stolen from Brickative and we urged whoever bought Zhegao’s set, please purchase the instruction of Victor’s Lab from the owner. The review won’t be possible without contribution from Maimen.

The naming of the set was different to Brickative. The original designer name it Victor’s Lab but Zhegao renamed into Corner Mall. Both were correct as the building had the mall on ground floor and the lab on second floor. There were 3474 of parts for Zhegao QL0919 Victor’s Lab.

Back of the box showcasing other sets, in which there was a wedding hall designed by Lee Inyong plus a Parisan Restaurant lookalike.

Came in three colourful inner boxes.

For this build, we would use BA’s team original instruction manual and compared against Zhegao’s version.

Build of Zhegao QL0919 Victor’s Lab (Corner Mall)

Zhegao was a sub brand of LELE and we hate to say LELE’s part quality was just passable.

Brick separator was found in box 1.

The minifigures from Zhegao was horrible if you have read our reviews of Zhegao QL0924 Old Town Pub. Let’s just skip reviewing the Zhegao minfigures.

Box one was for the base of the Victor’s Lab.

Again, LELE’s problem of color inconsistency.

Dimples on the 1 x 4 smooth tile.

An eyesore here with a mix of matte and smooth cheese slopes. Also inconsistency in the same green color.

Comparing BA’s step.

The part circled in blue dotted line had gone missing!

Zhegao’s manual had included the “missing” part.

We decided to make changes for the minifigures displayed as Zhegao figures weren’t presentable. Do note the Halloween figures weren’t included.

The clothes on the racks.

Changes made by Zhegao, so the golden piece for the red hat wasn’t required.

LELE made changes here for the shop signage.

We went with BA’s design.

You just need extra two white pieces to restore the original design. Do use the right piece without the stud in the bottom.

The first floor completed.

Inner details.

We almost mistaken this as armor display, end up it was a dress!

Building the second floor of Victor’s Lab.

So far the bricks could hold themselves together.

Different section of the building.

The lab.

A small office.

The wall could be opened to reveal inner details.

SNOT techniques used for the wall.

Ground floor and second floor connected.

Taking a view of the rooftop, there was a telescope to gaze at the star.

Mechanism to turn the gears.

Summary of Zhegao Victor’s Lab (Corner Mall)

Kudos to Brickative team for beautiful design of the Victor’s Lab. We could build the set based on BA’s instruction manual, which you could purchase directly from them. Do note this was MOC and didn’t go through redesign and optimization by team from LEGO. The new hand may find the building process slightly challenging. You may order Zhegao QL0919 from Aliexpress.
