Non Lego 3rd Party Building Blocks

Well, the Lego purists asked that I create a new topic for any building block set that isn't Lego, so here we go.

Got the Cobi F-14A Tomcat Top Gun movie tie in today alongside the Mega Blocks XF-14F GI Joe set with the bonus HISS tank in the mail today. It's going to be interesting to see how they compare once I get them put together. I might kickstart my youtube channel with it.

Brickmania recently released their own line of kits, based on mini sized Lego pieces:

It is just me or their sets are a bit expensive?

It's not just you, BM's prices are generally expensive for me too.  I only buy a set from them if it's an aircraft I truly desire in Lego form.  From previous postings of BM's owner, the bulk of the cost comes from manufacturer lincensing costs and custom printing prices.

This new Atom brick line is a little better on the wallet.  If a F-14 kit is made for it, I might bite.

As a Joe fan I look forward to seeing/hearing what you think of these!
