May be written here about compatible alternatives to LEGO Technic? (lemmy.world)

As a child, I was thrilled by the LEGO Technics sets. Especially 2-in-1 or 3-in-1 sets. While looking for Technic sets for my son, I found that this range went in a direction I didn't like at all.

  • Either it's way too simple and has little to do with Technics (one, or two small technic functions).
  • Or LEGO technics is way too expensive, only for the showcase and without a B-Model (no 2-in-1).

As an alternative, the name "CADA Master" or "Mould King" often comes up.

  • Does anyone have positive experience with these alternatives?
  • And is it allowed to write about it here?

@ Here a small mousetrap tinkering, which I built last week with my son. And the first test, if I can share a moving *.gif here in lemmy.world.

Personally I would like this community to be LEGO-only, as the name implies. As an example, Reddit had alternative communities for non-LEGO bricks like mould king and lepin.

I would sub to an alternative community about other brick types, but I think it’s important to keep them separate.

I feel like there's a difference between "lego compatible alternatives" and Lepin-like companies that just take advantage of countries that don't enforce IP laws to explicitly sell stolen designs

I am on the same boat, Brands who do their own stuff=good. Knockoffs =Bad. This elitist Attitude on reddit Was the reason i left this community
