Greetings, esteemed friends, and welcome to the War Bricks General!

In this forum, we engage in discussions about building brick sets produced by various companies. All brands are welcome, with the exception of Lego; discussions pertaining to Lego should be directed to /lg/ - Lego General.

Given that army-themed sets are a significant aspect of brick toy lines, distinguishing them from the leading brand, we have chosen to adopt this theme as the primary focus of our general. However, we also encourage discussions on other non-army themes from these companies.

Here are some of the lines we cover, and we are open to adding more:
>Cobi
>Qman
>Mega Construx
>Sluban
>Cada
>Funwhole
And many others! Let us embark on this building journey together!
>>
>worse legos
>Le epic cool guns!

This statement is inaccurate. Cobi offers superior quality compared to Lego, and competition is beneficial. Currently, Lego holds a monopolistic position; however, the presence of competitors will encourage them to enhance their products.

>>11316651
Competition will drive improvements at Lego. They have become complacent, and this is evident. With a formidable competitor in the market, they will be compelled to innovate and create original products rather than relying solely on licensed themes.

In my opinion, the reliance on licenses is detrimental to Lego's strength; it undermines their core identity.

I believe competition is incredibly beneficial, and here are a few reasons why:
Innovation Surge: Competition drives Lego to enhance their creativity, leading to new designs and themes that keep their products fresh and engaging.

Quality Enhancements: To maintain their edge, Lego prioritizes the improvement of their brick quality and consistency, resulting in even more durable and precise products.

Competitive Pricing: With competitors like Cobi and Mega in the market, Lego may provide more attractive pricing or value packages to draw in customers while maintaining high quality.

Variety Expansion: Rival brands motivate Lego to broaden their themes, offering a wider range of options to cater to various interests and age groups.

Accelerated Development: The presence of competition keeps Lego agile, encouraging quicker release schedules.

>btfos lego with logic and facts
Nothin' personal

>Best-Lock was founded in 1997 by Torsten Geller after he looked into the legalities of Lego and other clones, which led him to look into Lego's past to find that Lego had copied their bricks from a British psychologist and inventor Hilary Page in the 1940s.[1][2]

>Best-Lock has been involved with multiple legal cases involving Lego. The company moved in 1998 against Lego's exclusivity claims to toy-block design. Best-Lock won the case in court thus allowing them to sell sets in Germany.[2] They defeated a patent challenge from Lego in 2004.[3][4] In a further case in 2009, Lego was denied trademark protection for the shape of its bricks.[5]

I don't know whether it is actually licensed or not (not like they cared) but just from the boxes they seems to be slight higher premium to the normal Jie Star's stuff.

I hope the sets are good and have no stickers (have not opened them). I love the original show as a kid. They used to sell pull back sets cars that were some what decent looking even if you have put the stickers on yourself. The do sell normal model kits now, but really who has the time to build models any more?

Not that it's stopped me from getting the entire wave, need to give it all a proper review. I did the Stryker and its comical VADS-esque turret, noting the too-cramped interior and overall emphasis on model accuracy (turret notwithstanding) and fitting in with the rest of the wave. At the end of the day they're children's toys and play is definitely the idea here, given the stud shooters.

With lego one always has the option of sourcing alternate heads. Sluban's past waves have had much more variety in facial expressions; methinks with their Russia-Ukraine waves they're stereotyping the angry slav for the figs.

Brick quality has certainly improved, bringing them up to about parity with current Lego. What I don't like are the chibi style figs they converted to after pressure from TLG through pliant Chinese courts, not a big deal in the grand scheme but sometimes their builds are designed around them, making them awkward for regular figs. Cockpit and fig aside this Stuka is a beaut.

There's no small amount of subjectivity, some of us will be more tolerant of minor issues than others. Personally I've had good and bad experiences with most brands, but generally they come in pretty close to the Lego benchmark. Clear exceptions are Best-Lock (which has never been a good experience for me), Cobi (which has surpassed Lego in key areas) and old Enlighten (comparable to pre-Halo Mega Bloks, probably worse).

Kazi comes in a little bit below the likes of Sluban or QuanGuan for me but I've also quite enjoyed collecting their Military Power series.

Got my hands on a couple older Enlighten pirate ships last year, the overall quality was better than Enlighten sets I'd gotten years before so they must've been produced not long before the re-branding, had indicators like the newer brick separator tool included. In some ways I prefer the older Enlighten to the current Qman stuff, they were very much in the same spirit as the Golden Age of 1990s Lego, with their own interesting quirks and details after they moved away from straight copies of Lego sets.

Not to say they don't have significant bugs - the strings for the rigging are cheap and a pain to work with (helps to use a lighter for the ends) and there's clutch issues. Qman is still doing the quirkiness, notably with their militaristic police versus the likes of super poachers and mercs, or that UN versus anarchists line that started with regular minifigs and has continued with the chibis.

They're nice parts packs in useful colours too if you aren't feeling the builds. The vehicles come with a crazy amount of firepower for their lone occupants, not that I'm complaining.

The fact that they teased us with Vikings and Beyonders, dind't finish X-files. and stopped MotU Heroes also sucked ass.
Witcher was an overpriced cocktease and Fallout seems to have missed it's chance of getting bigger.

I sadly agree.

It won't stop me taking pictures but will not be getting anything new I suspect.

If just one of these alternatives could design minifigures on the level of MCX I could finally find a decent substitute. But they're all intent on just fixating on brick sets and LEGO minifig design. It really blows. Blokees is the only line that remotely comes close to MCX figure design and they barely focus on construction blocks.

Anybody have experiences ordering from YourWOBB? I want that new CADA F1 car, it's way cheaper there than the official store.

Well except stuff from "Ali" like the SWAT teams.
I wish I had gotten the firefighters when still available.
I doubt Brickbusters (or whatever) will have any of the old MEGA style figures ( because since Matty signed some ip-sharing deals with LEGO and I'm sure "for the sake of co operation and competition" Matty will make the articulated figures go away.

Source? Kinda ridiculous cuz their minifigs aren't even close to Lego; if anything they're comparable to Kre-O's figs.
>>
>>11322156
Did you read the article, wasn't about the figures at all. I remember seeing the not-JP egg at Walmart here a month or so ago but can't recall if it had the figs, wonder why they made that change.

If I had to guess maybe it's to do with the legal battle after all, in that they pulled their figures to make the sets appear more like Lego, cuz they weren't allowed to advertise that directly on the packaging - the sets look just like Lego without obviously non-Lego figs. Weird either way and a shame, part of the fun in collecting different brands is getting their takes on the minifig.

>that random riderless bike
kek reminds me of how many stores on Ali censor the minifigs out of their listings, but at least in those cases you knew you were still gonna get the "dolls" in those sets.

Got the Sembo ZH-9 ASW helicopter. Smallest scale that can still fit minifigs but obviously still too damn large for minifig scale ships. Shame it has no doors but quality good.

Also tried a MOC made from "Not-Lego" parts from Aliexpress which is the patrol boat in the back. Do not recommend was missing a bunch of parts including the fucking boat hull... for a boat MOC. Hilarious that the replacement set of parts that came were... Lego that was perhaps lightly used maybe (?)

The more delicate parts definitely weren't GoBricks which are decent quality. So now the finish build is like 80% Not-Lego - 20% subbed Lego.

Should come as no surprise, given their success involved the blood sacrifice of the actual inventor of the plastic building brick. After reading about Mattel's nefarious history and seeing rumours of a potential alliance between them... maybe this really is the end times.

I wish I had jumped on these before they became overpriced. I saw one for $30 but was short on cash at the time. They look like great knockoffs of the real thing

Can find them on Ali for 60 maplebucks plus free Choice shipping, still reasonable especially given they're no longer in production. Contrast that with the original Lego torso that guy in blue on the ship was copied from (original was brown), the cheapest on Bricklink is 40 leafbux for a beat-up one that at least comes with a head too.

Well I got Asurada build

I guess I will use Lego McLaren as a comparison- I finished both around the same time

The overall building experience is decent. It still made my fingers hurt but at least the pieces do do stay and rather strongly too.

One of the biggest problem I have with none Lego sets is that a lot of pieces are sometimes not interlocked but rather just kind of float there with one single connection.
They avoided that here mostly. The only two part that does this is the blue side binders on the back and the blue front lower chassis.

It can fit a minifig but the steering wheel will get in the way.
There's also the problem the car is technically two-seater rather than one. Though the car will probably get too big in order to fit two minifigs.

Also for some reasons they passed on most of the headlights. The main yellow lights in the front are not there. There are no stop lights in the back.

Compare this to the actual car itself. I don't know if it is in brick form there is only so much they can do. But I feel they kind of just gave up when they got to the back of the car

Most of the color differences are not there for the back. I guess they can use stickers but they didn't want to.

The other set, the knight savior does comes with a sticker set. But I think that's more of an issues of the markings have to go around multiple pieces especially with the white cylinders on the side

I guess I can try to get some transparent yellow and red pieces to fill in some of the light secrions. But doing so seem to be destroying the general blue and white color look though.

8/10 maybe?
7 seems a bit too low. But going to 9/10 I feel like they can do bit a more
