LEGO Technic competitor Mold King is extremely popular on Amazon. Similar to LEGO a few years ago, the company relies on large, impressive buildings with many functions, most of which can even be controlled remotely! An example of this isthe large emergency vehicle of the airport fire department. With a total6,653 sharesit is one of the largest ever. The special thing is that there are two of them on boardreal water cannons including pump & tank!

Airport fire department with real water cannons, pump and tank
What sounds almost too good to be true is now actually really cheap on Amazon - instead of paying dearly for a minimum of motorized functions, terminal block manufacturer Mold King literally showers you with electric motors and other special parts:
The 19004 airport fire department is comingwith a total of 13 enginesdifferent sizes,pneumatic components, with which you can recreate the hydraulics of real machines, twofunctioning water cannonsand extensive remote control, with which you can even adjust the extinguishing arm! You can only dream of that with today's LEGO Technic sets.
In my opinion, LEGO has never managed to find a good compromise between outdated infrared technology and forced app controlconverting your terminal block setsprohibits. Apart from that weredie Power-Functions von LEGOhave always been quite expensive, so they were saved in many sets to keep the price down. These sets were then called “Ready for Power Functions”, which you had to buy separately if necessary.

Of course, a Mold King stands in stark contrast to this, but it must also be said that this company does not place nearly as much value on original licenses for its sets as LEGO does. However, in the case of an airport fire brigade emergency vehicle, this should only really bother very few people.
Value for money: How much do you get for your money?
First things first: How much does an average component of this set cost you? Just over 4.5 cents. Is that a lot? Well, other manufacturers like for exampleLEGO demands significantly more, even for sets in which significantly fewer or even no special parts such as motors or even water cannons or pumps are installed. For example, you currently pay just 14 cents per component for the Audi RS Q e-tron from LEGO.
Only you can decide for yourself whether the lack of a license for a fire engine bothers you. The fact is: the price-performance ratio in terms of the raw parts value is many times better with Mold King and if you just want to build a large technology set and, ideally, play with it afterwards, thenMold King offers you more for your money. Apart from the fact that there is currently no comparable fire truck from LEGO Technic.
