Are alternative brands allowed? Pretty good quality and printing (though the nameplate is a sticker); features a steam generator and lighting. A bit delicate in places.
A few sets from MJI. I have almost all of them, but quite a few are still waiting to be assembled.
An interesting design, though sometimes a bit fragile. The tubes could be softer; I didn't feel like messing around with them any further (maybe applying some heat would help). Good quality, nice prints; the plaque is a sticker.
It looks really great together. Three different manufacturers. I’ll post the model names in the comments because, for some reason, the name of one specific manufacturer causes the post to be automatically deleted.
Good quality. Decal. A bit difficult to position correctly on the motorcycle, despite the wide range of movement.
The silver bricks don't snap together very well. The structure is very fragile, making it difficult to build. The rear suspension is poorly designed; the wheel is more likely to fall off than the shock absorber is to compress. I had to modify the arms because otherwise, it was impossible to position Batman properly on the motorcycle. On the plus side, the printing on the plaque and the decal on the motorcycle look good.
Good quality. Printed parts only. The bricks were a bit mixed up because some were left over for the next stage. A total of 7 stages.
The set is beautiful, but the lighting design was poorly thought out at every possible stage—it was clearly added as an afterthought. Cables were pinched by the bricks (causing a short circuit), and there is no external power switch—you have to remove a floor to access it. One cable was missing, too. The sail was folded into quarters! I had to iron it. These may seem like minor details, but they caused a lot of frustration.
Good quality bricks. A highly detailed model. Lighting is included. It features a cabin and opening front entrances. The foil stickers are terrible and ruined the whole enjoyment of the model; decals would have been better. Figures would also have been a nice addition.
New plastic that is noticeably less rigid. Unfortunately, there are few printed details and a lot of stickers. The sails are made of thick material. It features a modular build, which didn't really appeal to me.
The quality of the bricks is good. At one stage, one type had a slightly off shade. The stages (10) were a bit too long. The head can be turned from side to side.
The attachment of the bowl to the base could be sturdier. But it's a pretty nice set.
12GO 97037 World War II German RIVERS GANTRY CRANE + Quanguan 100244 Tiger I Heavy Tank. The stages could be a bit smaller; there are a lot of tiny pieces, but that does mean a lot of detail.
A mix of prints, stickers, and decals. It’s a shame the others are so expensive, considering the number of bricks.
The sail is darker than in the box art. There are many gold elements.
Snails from Fun Big Player. The shells were a bit fragile during assembly, but overall it was a fun build.

I won't take on such a large MOC again without the bricks sorted by build stage. A few modifications were made using stickers/minifigs from the latest set.
Clutch power is fine. The bricks could be of better quality—especially the tiles. On the downside, the violins aren't attached to the base (they just rest on it), and you have to watch out for parts falling off when moving the model.
A very complex and interesting mechanism for setting pins. It doesn't always work perfectly, but it's impressive.
