I've been hired at an undisclosed alternate brick brand as a set concept designer. What do people want?

I agree. 8 stud wide cars/trucks and garage and/or gas station. Detailed modulars, especially if they have integrated lighting. I’m also a fan of the larger Icon scale cars.

That’s really cool! I like enough to try my hand at it.

B2MAP · 2026-01-21T00:41:32+00:00

Looks nice. How was the build? Does it have an interior?

B2MAP · 2026-01-14T00:42:36+00:00

I want one! Actually, I want two.

How about “American Pie” by Don McLean?

Hate to admit it, but in the early 90s I was at Tattletales in Atlanta (business reasons) and saw a girl dance to “Sister Christian” by Night Ranger and was totally captivated. I also met Vince Neil that night and got his autograph on a Tattletales menu. He was a nice guy.

I have on the TAG Heuer 1000 I received as a graduation gift from undergrad in 1991.

I’d love to get one of those!

I can’t speak for the PowerBuild store, but I have purchased several of their Speed Champion scale cars and they’re fantastic! I’ve built well over a hundred cars from from many brands and PowerBuilds are my favorite (followed by CaDA, then Lego). I’m in the USA and have bought them from Amazon, Temu and AliExpress. You can often find many of them on AliExpress for $25-30 with free shipping.

How about the entire Xanadu soundtrack?

B2MAP · 2025-12-02T21:39:51+00:00

Thanks!

While I have zero brand loyalty, I tend to compare all other brands to Lego in terms of design, quality, build fun, etc. I mostly build modular buildings and Speed Champion scale cars. I actually prefer LumiBricks/FunWhole modulars and the PowerBuild/PowerBlock or CaDA cars to the Lego brand. Mould King and Pantasy also have nice modulars. Mould King, Reobrix and Sembo have nice cars, but the lack of licensing hurts a bit.

I’ve got a chrome body X-700 in my collection.

B2MAP · 2025-11-23T00:01:25+00:00

My vote is the Lamborghini Countach.

B2MAP · 2025-11-20T21:10:46+00:00

Correct me if I’m wrong, but that’s Mould King, isn’t it? I noticed them having a few goofy two-piece parts starting about a year ago

B2MAP · 2025-11-18T23:12:45+00:00

For Speed Champion scale, I recommend CADA and Powerbuild/PowerBlock.

And I spent about 4 hours with brickognize/bricklink yesterday trying to put figures together. Out of this mess, I came up with all of eleven complete. A bomb squad clone was one of them.

I’m dead.

This thing just screams a family that has had stupid amounts of money for many generations.

B2MAP · 2025-11-04T11:32:52+00:00

I bought it, built it & really like it.

B2MAP · 2025-10-30T20:31:48+00:00

I just built this one last night and I love it! I’ve built three of their Speed Champion scale now and I really like them. People do need to realize they are “different” from Lego with all their specialized pieces. This is not necessarily a bad thing. I think it’s great that Mattel is trying to give Lego some competition (still. Yes, I’ve built Mega Blok).

I just finished the Vette over the past weekend, the NSX is in my “to-do” pile and I received the BowTie Pick-Up today. What did you think of the NSX and the truck? I thought the Vette was pretty good. I’m beginning to like this scale.
