100% yes they are, I did cover that in the review and it's certainly a valid criticism. But I give them a pass on this, as I'd rather have the lovely details and printed elements and the accurate looking pumps than necessitating they make everything minifig scale. Plus I can think of countless Lego sets that have things way way out of scale for minifigs. It's a great set and I wouldn't let it put you off considering purchasing it because of scale

Cheers, that's very kind. I may well do reviews in future, but probably only for non Lego sets that I might get for our city. Kinda like this CADA set. Especially as there are so many great reviewers out there already for conventional Lego stuff.

😂 yeah a little menace who was very intrigued in what I was doing at the table. That's our 14month old hee hee

actually it's not fake but alt brand

Imagine spending 109 bucks on genuine Lego? you'd get half as many pieces, worse quality product, no light kit, and a huge sticker sheet instead of quality printed parts.....whos the stupid one?

@@totallyaddicted2bricks989 totally agreeing!

The kits do put lego to shame. (Not Sponsored) I have some and they are equal to if not better than lego.

100% agree, it's not a rip off, it's an original design and they've really done a great job. It's the cost that got me though, it just shows how inflated the prices are for Lego. Cada still have the outlay of tooling parts, manufacturing, designers etc yet their prices are way more reasonable. I foresee them becoming a major challenger to Lego and that's a good thing. Competition is what is needed in the brick built hobby market

Thanks, yeah £86 was a bit of a gamble for me to spend on something that wasn't Lego, but I can honestly say it's worth it. The volume of parts, quality of printing and the lights. There's just no equivalence to this in Lego form. But for sure, if it's on discount get it 😊

@@BflyBricks Thanks a lot! I have the 5 Cada japanese sets...loving them so far!

Gosh you know what I didn't realise it was quite so irritating, it's the song, I have put the volume too high on the backing track. But listening to the track now I can hear the constant percussion 'ticking' definitely won't be using that track again. Thanks for pointing this out, cheers

@@BflyBricks I think I had the audio fairly low so all I could hear was your voice and the ticking - couldn't hear the rest of the tune 😀

Yeah I can also hear a tick, but 99% sure it's the song, ha don't use that song again!

Cheers 😃

Cheers, yeah it looks pretty decent, great set, but a bit tricky to fit onto a baseplate in a city, took me a few goes to get it right 👍

Ha yeah it does look a bit like a pool table, I'm trying to use as many parts from sets I've got sitting gathering dust, so seemed a good idea to use this base as it came from the bonsai tree which we broke up. I recoloured it though, so quite a change. What do you think about the city plaza though? To busy? I like the tiles so didn't want to put too much going on there, so that I can see the tiles

I love the whole concept of building a mini city. The wagon works well & a great idea to reuse bricks from sets you no longer have a use for. Very imaginative ❤

@@TeresaRobinson-h8h Awe thank you so much 😊

The green pattern tiles are from Ali express. £2.25 for 50 pieces. I did mention that a bit later in the video and show the website etc. I've found all the tiles and parts I've bought from them have been fantastic, great quality, clutch power and the printing is good. I've had a few other bits that haven't been so good, but tiles etc have all been top notch. Hope that helps ☺️

Awwe thanks Christine, that's so kind. Yeah I'm totally fine with Ali Express as long as it's not directly ripping off Lego and I'm honest about when I've used their parts. Yes I certainly have more references that are personal planned for the city and even street names etc, which I'm ordering soon. Glad you're enjoying the videos 😊

100% agree, its right up there with two and a half men, never understood how it got season after season and the laughing tracks are so daft. Big bang is the worst for sure, I saw a crazy video on CZcams of an episode without the laughing track and its absolutely mental 😂

Hee hee, 😂 I'm so glad I'm not the only one who thinks big bang is a bin fire ha ha. Made my day. Funny enough I worked with a guy who would watch it on his phone all the time, he never laughed once, just watched it over and over again, I just don't understand why 😄 Talking about parts though, I am so lucky to still have pretty much all the LEGO from our childhood, all my sister's stuff got mixed in with mine, so loads of sets from the very early 80's, and all of it in relatively good condition. I'm quite lucky really, as many parts are hard to buy for reasonable prices. Thanks for the comment, made my day, bloody big bang sucks 😂😂

Yikes two and a half men, yeah I forgot about that show, big pile of pish as well, truly awful, yet I still watched plenty of episodes of both shows 😄😄 I'll definitely have a look at the videos you mention without the laugh track, cheers Christine 😊

The large white panels are from the super secret police drop ship which was from the Lego movie. Brilliant set. Many of the black and white parts are from that set but also some other secret police vehicles sets I've got.

Thats very kind thanks, It was some effort to build this!

Cheers, I think this is the 6th stadium we've done, its very enjoyable, so definitely will be building more. Lego are mad not to be making micro football stadiums, they'd sell like hotcakes

@@westendoutofschoolclub7355 cheers, it's about as close as I could get it. Glad you like it

That's very kind, lots of trial and error to get to this point. And I keep changing my mind about where things are going to go 😀 I'd make a terrible mayor, my city planning is all over the place😄

Cheers, thanks 😊

Cheers, yeah I love those tiles. Rather controversial though as they are not Lego. They're from Ali Express. I have been honest about my non lego use in my other videos, as I have also bought grey tiles and masonry bricks from Ali Express. The price difference is unbelievable. I would however never buy knock off fake lego sets, like copies of the modulars. Which you can get from various Chinese sites. To me that's like stealing, as they stole those designs from lego and copied them. A bit like Lepin did. But for standard bricks it's fair game I think, as Lego don't have the patent anymore. I really like the decorated tiles from Ali Express, they were £2.60 for 50 tiles, so I've bought maybe 4or 5 packs, I can't remember, but great value and unique.

Gosh that's nice to hear. Thanks. Yeah I will put minifigures on the moc, I kinda have to really, but it is a concern sometimes that little kids sometimes take figure or drive vehicles about. You just have to be vigilant. In my experience at all the shows i've been to, no-one is doing it maliciously, I've never seen anyone steal anything from mine or anyone else's MOC. I have had little kids take things and even had the parent return shortly afterwards ha ha, but its not deliberate. Hope to see you at the Summerlee show in Oct, bring the kids, they'll love it. Thanks for the lovely comment as always 😍

​@@BflyBrickswe should hopefully be there, looking forward to it X

@@IdkIdk-lc9lt yeah it's a moc of mine based on the ecto one set, check it out if interested czcams.com/video/RkJqWw27QFw/video.htmlsi=MHAIDTybhzDRuKrn

Cheers mate for the kind words, I'm doing a city update hopefully this weekend, it's a fun project, but lots of challenges, hopefully lots more future video's, thanks 😊

It's great when they have the parts you need and especially good if it's plates as the new boxes are way better to stack plates. The old cups were a nightmare for plates. The cost is a major issue, so if you can find a cheaper source of bricks then problem solved! Saying that, it's still a lot of parts used up. Thanks for the comment 😊

@@BflyBricks It was also many hauls and visits to get it complete. If you are not in a hurry, you can often get things much cheaper. And yeah the boxes are gold! They work so much better.
