TD Bricks: boxes don’t matter

just2good: Are you sure about that.

There is nothing better than opening a huge official lego set and that fresh smell

DJ knows how cars work, I’m so proud of him

[thebrickaniac]

I think they aren’t terrible, I just personally won’t buy them cuz it just feels wrong

[AmazingCreationslego]

Great to see someone giving a fair review to off brand Lego. Too many Lego fans review other brands with a negative mindset, so I appreciate the unbiased review.

[LegoTechnicsRule]

In my projects, I ONLY use Lego products with the exception of rubber bands. You probably got that message back at the lunch table lol. I have been called a purist many times, and I take that as a compliment.

i shed a tear every time one of my brown or dark red pieces just shatters altogether

My boyfriend and I love off brand Lego (we call it bootlego). It's huge in East and Southeast Asia (where I'm from). Ngl I used to turn my nose up at them cos I was being snobby about the Lego brand but bootlego is great! Firstly, for me and my other Asians, there's a lot more representation - a lot of sets of Asian markets, buildings, and food. It's also true that there's more themes - I saw Peanuts sets and Doraemon. But the main thing is the price. I and many others cannot afford the big Lego sets (or even the smaller ones). Bootlego is so much cheaper - there's much more affordable options of floral bootlego that beat Lego's price. It's so much more affordable for lots of people and so it upsets me when some people just refuse to try or see bootlego as equal to Lego. Lego is just too expensive and it stops loads of people from enjoying this hobby.

Dear Ty,
not deniable, that you are one of the best lego channels available. Love your videos and the way you put things very professional.
Actually the only pure dedicated Lego channel for me so far that I like.
You took a risk, leaving your basics, which might make you leaving some fanboys, but earning a much bigger community.
Just a quick intro to understand about my comment.
48 years old German, growing up with Lego as my favorite toy. Living in Asia for 14 years.
I started to build city sets for my 2 years old boy to play with, while he was building duplo.
Side note, duplo is nonsense and much too expensive. Even for a 2 years old, there is no difference by size to put things together.
I like Lego and respect it with high value, that's why I still buy it sometimes to pay back this idea, but finally I am not responsible and of course look for own advantage. As I am most focused on modulars, I give a quick example.
Green Grocer, retired modular, origin packing with up to 1, 400 USD.
Lepin, 38 USD. I love it. Who cares about the studs with Lego?? 🤔
The quality issues are not less compared to recent lego headache.
I think you do very smart by bringing in BRICKS and not just lego.
But don't slaughter the box next time. 😉

Me: sees title

Me:
Yes, Yes it is

Great video Ty, I recently just finished building the Lego technic Porsche and looking at this Lamborghini it uses some of the exact sections of parts, but overall it looks pretty good quality, keep the great content coming 😁👊🔥

[AndrewGuns]

Cada is probably the best off brand lego company

[hylian_bricks]

Great video my guy, you pointed some great facts about fake lego. Not all boot lego are bad. Being completely honest I've used fake lego for some customs as they have such unique parts in unique shapes.

[BudgetFilms]

These definitely aren’t bad, what’s cool is that you can interchange fake lego pieces with real ones because they fit together even though they’re different, which can be really useful

[buildup]

Lepin and stuff that directly copy Lego sets are bad but when it’s a company making original Lego-like products I think it is fine.

[eastlake_kicks]

a few questions how long did it take to build and where the instructions similar to regular lego set instructions?

[ToallpointsWest]

I bought this set a built it about a month ago, really enjoyed it! Then I motorized and lit it with the additional set they make for that, which added to the enjoyment. All and all I recommend them, and I'm looking at buying another couple of sets from them

Is all “off/brand LEGO” created equal? Perhaps you got lucky in this case? It might be a good idea to try more models from this company to see if it holds up across the board. Technic plastic is different than System plastic, so this might have been a little bit like comparing apples to oranges?

[wexbrix]

This is a pretty sweet set! Nice change of video! Epic.

[EliF-tnoc]

Yo, another good video from Ty. thanks for inspiring me dude.
P.S. off brand Lego is not that bad, and its a pretty damn good deal when it comes to the price and quality.
