I got a few sets for Christmas, the inlaws got me the LEGO 42204 F&F MKIV Supra and the Mega Bloks Alduin The World Waster from Skyrim. I haven't started on the Supra yet but the Mega Bloks kit has been a neat experience so far since I haven't built anything but LEGO in ages and it's neat to see what they do the same and what they do differently.
My kids also got me the LEGO 77248 BWT Alpine A524 F1 car and the 77243 Oracle Red Bull Racing RB20 F1 car. I built them both and I was was expecting them to be pretty much the same kit just with different colours and stickers, but they're actually built with very different types of pieces so they're quite unique to build. I kinda want them all now but 10 more kits is a lot of $$$ and space.
One interesting thing I noticed is that both sets are part of the Speed Champions series, but the Alpine is 10+ and the box calls it a building toy while the Red Bull is 18+ and calling a building set. Yet both have ~250 pieces, felt the same difficulty to build, and had the same amount of fiddly stickers. Looking on the LEGO site the rest are 10+ apart from the other RB team car, so I wonder if it's a RedBull thing that makes them rate it 18+?

These are custom made by Brickdesigners. All parts are printed, but each model comes with a hefty price tag of US$125 each (or 10% off if you buy all 4 designs).
