In germany, its basically established that lego can go fuck itself, our biggest lego youtuber started showing some sets from aternative brand and that made us realise that lego isnt actually that good. Then lego tried to sue said youtuber because he accidentally called a non lego brick lego, and now most afobs (we changed the lego to bricks) buy from a company called bluebrixx
@vinkniv bluebrixx also sells a lot of other manufacturers, not just their own sets. Plus their more recent sets have better bricks used. But yes especially some lokomotives are quite fragile due to their construction, still hold up alright with cats around (still not recommended).
@@thephoenix6870 i looked at their website and when i saw the other brands like mouldking i knew there is no reason to talk to you any further about this. It's fucking trash.
Great video! I wish more brick youtubers would cover sets from alternative manufacturers. In a lot of ways they offer much superior products for less money, especially in the technic department.
This is a great video. I think that the gap between lego and the competition is definitely narrowing. I have been disappointed with Lego's variety in the technic mid tier car range. CADA kind of fills that niche..
I agree that these are great value for money. Recently I built my first brick construction set for about 50 years, the CaDA London Underground Station. A good set as a re-introduction to bricks, with some interesting moving features. The drawback is there are few of these sets that will blend in to create a coherent British street scene. My next will probably be the coffee shop, but not sure what else. Any suggestions?
5:40 im glad there used this type of sticker insted of the version lego uses, because the lego sticker looks so bad after a while even if lego gets the colour right. on the side Cobi hase a better solution on almost all sets there only use prints.
How much time does it take to assemble this item? I'm wondering, because I probably have 5, 10, or 15 CADA sets to work on. A few cars, tractors, etc. Most, or all of them radio control 2.4GHz.
As far as I know, no. But you can get them at the link in the description. I know the big F1 car is due to stop production in May so it may be worth jumping on
Hey thanks for another detailed and informative video, might pick up some sets as holiday gifts and I'll be sure to use your ref link I'm considering getting one of the Japanese buildings as a gift for a friend; out of all the buildings, which is your favorite? noting also that the set would be her first building and not for a diorama
My personal favorite (beyond the Initial-D tofu shop, of course 😁) is the steamed bun shop. It's a fantastic build that I think makes a great stand-alone piece. However, the new kitty grocery store is a bit easier build for a first timers and she may enjoy the brighter colors of this set more, so I'm inclined to recommend that as well.
As nice as the Sauber F1 kit has been compared to Lego F1, it is arguably only CaDA's third best officially licensed car kit. The cheaper CaDA Ruf Yellowbird at $100 USD looks to be FAR FAR superior to the equivalent Lego model, the Creator Expert Porsche 911. Maybe part of that is it is cheaper to buy the Ruf license than the Porsche license, but in any case the CaDA Ruf has almost full technics innards with suspension, moving engine parts, etc, paired with really nice system bricks outer shell, in a package that is almost half the price of the Lego 911. And then there is the massive CaDA AMG ONE 1:8 supercar, which isn't cheap at $300, but compared to the Lego 1:8 supercars it is just so much better value. It is a full $150 cheaper than the Lego Supercars, looks just as good, but on top of that, the CaDA AMG ONE is also a fully motorized AWD RC car, and also has LED headlights. Arguably the best technic style car model on the market today.

You wish. I only heard bad things about blue brixx. They fall apart when you look at it.
@@vinkniv i have build about 40k bricks from bluebrixx, some of the older bricks have a few issues, but the new ones are 100% better than lego

I’ve never heard of these manufacturers before but godamm I want that f1 car set so bad

I personally like the Japanese modular series. They're all under $100 and have a lot of cool details. My personal favorite is the steamed bun shop.

Fair point.

Took mw roughly 6 hrs to assemble. It looks like it could be motorized, but I never looked into it since I only planned to display
Actually i prefer clear stickers for this set, wish lego can do the same
Does Amazon have this set? Can this item be motorized and driven R/C?
As far as I know, no. But you can get them at the link in the description. I know the big F1 car is due to stop production in May so it may be worth jumping on
