Wondering how’s the quality of the other 2 brands.

I have abut 15 technic sets. Using Lego sets to set my standard/expectation.

And just finished my first Mattel Bricks set (300SL) and I would say the bricks quality is lower than Lego.
The brick pieces are lighter (in a bad way that the wall feels thinner) and the pins fitting is not as good.

I’m looking into some CaDa set - mainly the AMG one and AMG GT - wondering if anyone has experience with them can share how’s the quality ?

CaDA is selling the wheels from their Alpine 1:8 Technic Formula 1 sets as separate kits. This is good news for Lego Technic fans that cringe at the small rear wheels in all their 1:8 Techic kits. You do need to get different hubs though, but Lego sells those as well (theu are in the big 1:8 supercar sets) because the CaDA rims have the pins, not the hubs.

Looking if anyone knows if this is real or fake it has no LEGO markings but I’m sure it’s just old ? I’m

Build took me multiple days. By far the most difficult build I've ever done.

Crane functionality is actually pretty good. Driving and turning isn’t great but just the massive crane functionality is good enough for me and the 4 year old.

Uses 6 large motors, 1 medium sized motor, and an XL for the drivetrain. 1 rechargeable battery pack runs the anchor system, driving and turning, another in the base of the crane - which also acts as a counter weight - operates the crane functionality.

As I’m about to make a purchase locally

Should I display all my Lego or just the ones that look like display models. This is about 1/4 my collection.

This model is outstanding! It's so solid that it feels like I could drop it and nothing would fall off. My favourite thing about this series is that they have a bunch of designers who all have very different ways of doing things. However, this thing was designed by a high school student. Damn! I'm 55 and I couldn't design something this good if my life depended on it. Even if they gave me another 55 years.

Hehehehe

What do you think a Speed Champions scaled monster truck with some technic features?

• Working steering (via a wheel under the truck bed) with +/-20 degrees of turn
• Pivoting rear axle that mimics suspension. For display, tilt it onto its spare wheel for a cool, dynamic pose

Heavily based on RM8's Hilux moc on Rebrickable.

Hilux on a manual frame, other one is RC on a Control Plus hub. Modular frames, cab and bodies can be swapped.
