May be written here about compatible alternatives to LEGO Technic?
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
Reddit is different though in that there was much more activity. At our current scale, I don't think splintering off into sub-groups would be great. As long as there's a post just about every day here, maybe, I would not want to restrict what can be posted too much. We can always course-correct if off-brand takes up too much space and drowns out the actual Lego stuff, but I don't see that happening for the near future.
