About CaDa
CaDa is a Chinese building block brand founded in 2016 under the Double Eagle Group, specialising in LEGO-compatible Technic-style construction sets. The brand has earned recognition among adult fans of LEGO (AFOLs) for delivering exceptional build quality and innovative designs at significantly lower price points than traditional brick manufacturers, typically offering pieces at £0.05-0.06 each compared to premium brand pricing. The CaDa range focuses primarily on vehicles, machinery, and motorised models, with particular strength in automotive reproductions and remote-controlled builds. Their licensed partnerships include collaborations with Citroën for classic 2CV and Traction Avant models, Toyota for sports car reproductions, and the popular Initial D anime franchise for the iconic AE86 Trueno. These licensed sets demonstrate the brand's commitment to authenticity and detail that appeals to serious collectors. What distinguishes CaDa from other alternative brick manufacturers is their attention to engineering precision and clutch power - the grip between bricks that determines build stability. Reviews consistently praise CaDa's plastic quality as comparable to leading brands, with smooth studs, consistent colouring, and reliable technic connections. Their Master series targets adult builders with complex mechanical functions including working gearboxes, steering systems, and suspension. UK shoppers can find CaDa sets through major retailers including Morrisons, offering an accessible entry point into the alternative brick market. Whether building a detailed supercar replica, constructing a motorised crane, or recreating an anime icon, CaDa provides the pieces and engineering to bring ambitious projects to life without the premium price tag.
