Leaked Email Shows Elon Musk Demanding "Sub 10 Micron Accuracy” Cybertruck Parts
Tesla is facing issues with the bare metal construction of the Cybertruck, which Elon Musk warned was as tricky to do as making Lego bricks
There are companies making bricks in much better quality than LEGO, and they are cheaper than LEGO. What kind of a margin is this supposed to be?
My guy, you can't drop these claims without telling us who! Lego are so expensive, I'd love some supposedly higher quality alternatives.
Apologies, I would recommend checking out https://www.bluebrixx.com/en/ to get an impression of what other vendors offer. You can look up the brands and models on your local Amazon, Alibaba, your local brick dealer, ... These prices are a lot lower that LEGO sets, so you might be able to try different vendors and see what's on the market.
cheaper than lego
I'm listening. Please do share.
My kid got a non Lego set as a gift and what a letdown that was. It's a frustrating excersise as the construction simply doesn't holds up like the real thing.
We had to give up building the damn thing.
Yeah, the tolerances are looser so it doesn't click into place and stay in place easily. The plastic is less rigid and more pliable, making fitting even more difficult. The colors also fade more quickly.
Exactly, this makes them not worth it.
I have a Mould King 13112 RC Excavator. All parts are on par and compatible with Lego bricks. Excellent quality, a bit tighter fit than regular Lego and the model itself is way more interesting and fun to build than anything Lego has produced in the Technic line in the past years. On top it is much cheaper than a comparable Lego set and it has an excellent building manual.
Mould King sounds like a Dark Souls/Elden Ring character.
Any brands you would recommend?
Try looking for Mould King or Cada - those are usually the ones that are considered to deliver great quality for a reasonable price.
It should be mentioned that both companies are gearing their products much more towards an older audience - so they aren’t really an alternative when talking about kids playsets.
Yes like guns ! Lego wont make sets that oriented to violence or wqr
Cada make nice plastic guns !!!
Bluebrix is nice
I usually shop around on https://www.bluebrixx.com/en/ Their Specials didn't disappoint so far. They carry other vendors too, but you might want to browse reviews on the web to see what's really good. Quality does vary between vendors, but LEGO bricks aren't as perfect as people believe either.
Doubt.
I seriously doubt it. People buy LEGO because the alternatives are shit and they don't know how to accurately manufacture them.
Yeah maybe 5 years ago. Just get any brand using GoBricks and it's 99,99% there
Im a lego enthusiast and. having Lego brick is a bragging right !!!
I know, and I have loved Lego since getting that 8880 for Christmas that one year! But that is in the past, and spending 500€ on a LEGO set, when I can get a much more enjoyable experience from another vendor at a fraction of the cost, just doesn't feel right to me these days. But to each their own, and I still love the LEGO sets I do have.
Keeep it till your retirement !!!
My homemade 3D printer that makes one of these rackus just because it's not very good can make lego tolerance. It can't cut metal though so I don't know wtf he's dreaming about lol.
