> Lego has a reputation because it built that reputation over decades of solid and reliable delivery. Really? I'm not sure about that. I think LEGO built a reputation, because it was patented until 2008 and competitive products were not even a thing. Mould King was founded 2012, also more than a decade ago. > Pseudo-Lego brands built a reputation of competing on price while trading off quality and reliability. This maybe true for chinese rip-offs, but the more modern approach is innovative, even with licensed models (see CADA MASTER Mercedes-AMG ONE 61503 or Mould King 12025 Orient Express). Features like LED lights, remote controls, remote controlled doors or REAL steam have not been approached by modern LEGO sets.
