Have you guys heard of 24builds.com? A fellow #AFOL with whom I work just told me about it today. Mostly car sets, but a few trains and other sets.

Look, I certainly don't care if a Chinese company wants to make cheap knock-off #Lego bricks, but at least consult with a native English-speaker before you settle on a name for your company. Is that too much to ask?

This steam train from #Nifeliz has some pros and cons. One obvious pro is the cost, being #nonLego bricks, and it is also a striking design that you can't find anywhere else. It also came with printed blocks (no stickers!) and some handy little cardboard trays for keeping the pieces organized (hey #Lego, take notes!). There are several cons, and I'll just mention a few. The instructions are a little hard to follow because they have way fewer steps than a comparable sized set from Lego. The bricks themselves are decent, but are not manufactured to the same exacting standards so there are times when you have to work a bit harder to get them to snap together. Also, something was wrong the with axle pins and some of the wheels don't turn, so forget about converting this one to actually run on track - static display only. Overall, I'd give it 7/10.

Speaking of #trains, Santa brought me this one (from another inscrutably named company). I'll post again when its done.

This was an experiment with non-Lego bricks, as I sourced everything from #Webrick. This is the first time I tried that, and I'll have to write a blog post about what I learned.
