Looking into some bigger sets like mould kind, and def like your videos. Won’t watch all of them as of right now, but when I buy the sets, will definitely be looking into it more, keep it up!
I finally got this...Im going to build it this week at some point...soon as I finish I am getting the Monarch, and the Executor. Im excited to have them all together. My monarch is getting modified though to be the post Thrawn Chimaera from the EU
@@sithbricks_66 oh I have the Eclipse, the Lepin Executor and the original run of the Imperial Star Destroyer, the X-wing, Y-wing, looking for the B-wing, I have about 15 of the Mk sets now...far superior to lego in my opinion
For the most part it’s very easy to follow except when you attach the red bricks (there’s a video on that playlist that covers how to do those). There’s a video in my Mould King vs Lego playlist that shows you the difference.
I have this kit and am in the process of attaching the bottom wings. you are right about the placement and how strong the magnets are. however i cant seem to find how to attach it properly. any suggestions on how to attach those bottom wings as the instructions are not really that clear.
My instructions didn’t have any pictures at all so I had to “wing” it🤦🏻♂️🤣. What I did was to take the magnets off (but leave their mounting piece on) and then checked the line up and if it looked good then I put the magnets back on and the tried it out. It took about 3x before I got it right (for both top and bottom wings) but have patience and don’t be afraid to move the mounting pieces around to get the best fit possible for your build
If you've ever delt with non LEGO bricks, You'd know thats basically not a thing that will probably ever happen. Theres a reason this is half the price of Lego. Lego are made of a very specific blend of plastics to get them to be as hard yet durable as they are. I imagine these bricks, like all the other bootleg brick printers, are going to be significantly softer plastic.
@@117johnpar This is actually not true, Mould King is getting up to almost the same quality in terms of fit and strength of bricks; granted not perfect yet but they are getting really close. They still have to tweak their friction rotation pieces to have a tiny bit more tightness but for a quarter of the price of Lego, I'm certainly adding a lot more to my collection. I have this set, granted I changed a few of the pieces so the wings fit really nicely and added the top piece as Sith Bricks did. I actually enjoy modifying the kits when they're not perfect, makes my brain tick :D
Also just want to point out many people have stated that Lego bricks seem weaker and figures are cracking faster in comparison to 90s era legos. So that with the cost increase people are starting to steer away from legos and going to more alternatives
If you've ever dealt with non Lego-bricks, you'd know that's simply not true. GoBricks are almost lego quality (like 99% of their pieces are of equal quality). People often even consider them to be better than original lego bricks and while I don't agree with that (Lego still has the best bricks), the difference is very, very marginal. The difference in price obviously doesn't come from the quality of the plastic. Lego has to spend actual money on designing and marketing their sets while companies like Mould King just steal designs...
@@royallegacy8441the expensive price most likely comes from the injection molding process. I worked as a design engineer for injection molds for a while and plastic molding is an expensive industry. A good mold can cost half a million dollars and Lego no doubt has dozens of molds if not hundreds
Thanks and the quality is as good as Lego and 100% interchangeable. Instruction booklets are better than Lego too. In all of my builds I don’t have one negative comment about product quality. Sure there’s the occasional missing piece but Lego has missing pieces too. Piece replacement is easy with MK, just contact the buyer and they’ll get you those missing pieces. Any other questions let me know!!
@@sithbricks_66 Thank you! I will definitely consider buying the super star destroyer I just don’t know if I can build that model because I’m pretty new to the hobby. And thank you so much for introducing mould king to me I’m just getting into the hobby and it really burns your pockets thank you.

Long time Lego fan, but this is my first time ever hearing about Mould King. How does the quality of the bricks compare to Lego? Would love to buy this set, price alone is a huge difference, there’s no way I can afford the Lego Venator at $800+, but I don’t know anything about Mould King quality
Mould King is solid quality!!! Their bricks are fully interchangeable with legos and their sets have far more detail than Lego! You won’t regret getting a set! I would recommend starting with the executor first. It’s a good build that will get you familiar with how Mould king sets go

youve actually done a terrible job. I know its an awful set but your panel lines are atrocious you need to put bricks on the support arms under the upper panels to raise them.
The design of this MOC looks unfinished and incomplete. This is not on Mould king rather the original designer. Just my opinion but this Venator looks awful and incomplete with large gaps and poor construction.
