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).

the frame comes with a 2x4 stud piece (not lego) and the clutch power is lacking and i dont trust it. i superglued a 2x3 stud piece (lego) to it for some extra clutch power.
youll have to build a flat platform under the chassis for it to work but i wouldnt.
any technic set is easy to wall mount if youre willing to use a screw. the chassis is full of unused holes for the little pin peices, just find 2 exposed holes in the interior and screw it in. thats how i wall mount the Ferrari and Porsche.
I got this lego set for my friend's kid for Christmas.
I have reached Smeegle heights of loathing and resentment that I wasn't the one to build and play with it.
i recommend this for yourself.
i have my eyes on these 2 until the next 1/8 scale comes out. rumored to be a aston martin or koenigsegg.
that amg gt3 looks insane, probably the best non "lego technic supercars" ive seen.
my only concern with cada is for $500+ and they are not using real lego bricks is a huge no for me. chinese bricks to $$$ this should really be a $150 set, maybe even $250 because it looks fancy. also chinese bricks dont fit right, either the clutch power isnt there or its just molded off by the tiniest that makes the pins/holes super loose or tight.
not that it matters but you could put a lego 1:8 super car on a treadmill and it can do 30kmh all day, put the same knock off set on, the engine and gearbox would grenade.
Ehh... even LEGO's designs sometimes have errors/flaws, such as wrong gear shift sequence (original GT3 RS), or unnecessary friction in gearboxes. I'd expect it to be flawless if they're charging $500+. Fortunately the LEGO community is quick to offer solutions, usually free of charge!

the proportions/silhouette on the amg gt is pretty spot on and cada uses alot more exterior bricks than lego give it a cleaner look less brick built look.
