The book notes: "Cada Bricks is a brand of play bricks that is produced by the Double Eagle Industry China Ltd. Double Eagle is located in Shantou, a city in the province of Guangdong in China, and is an internationally recognized Chinese toy brand for its remote control toy cars and trucks. Established in 2016, the Cada product line became a well-recognized building brick toy brand in mainland China by 2020. Currently, the Cada Bricks toy is also a popular LEGO alternative in Germany and Russia. Cada Bricks consist mostly of interlocking plastic bricks that are compatible with other internationally renowned brick brands. Cada has also worked diligently to create its own set of designs. The building bricks series include, but are not limited to, super-cars, military themes, robots, construction and architecture, and other STEM based educational sets."

The review notes: "I say ‘brick set’ because, while it may look incredibly like Lego, it’s not. It’s from CaDA Bricks – a brand that’s part of the Double Eagle Group that manufactures toys in China. CaDA has been producing brick sets for a few years now, but few have been officially licenced. This Mercedes-AMG One kit we’ve built has actually been officially licenced by Affalterbach and is brimming with details and clever touches. ... Because it is. This is a 1:8-scale set, comprising of 3295 pieces and is part of the CaDA Master series – largely equivalent to some of the most detailed and intricate Lego Technic sets on the market. ... CaDA is also fighting Lego on price, undercutting many 1:8-scale Lego Technic sets significantly as it hovers around the £200 mark; a Lamborghini Sian retails for around £390, as does a Lego Technic Ferrari Monza SP3. Add to the fact that the AMG One is powered, and CaDA makes a strong case for itself."

The article notes: "凭借出色的产 品创新,咔搭积木的科技积 木跑车系列特别是1:8的 积木超跑系列获得了一大 波的忠实粉丝。 谈到选择在深圳设立子 公司的原因,杨烁航坦言,刚 开始做积木产品的时候,很难 招到合适的人,在深圳设立办 事处后就解决了这个问题,特 别是设计和研发的人才。... 另一方面,咔 搭积木离用户群体更加近,也 可以更好地了解消费者需 求。此外,深圳政府的资金补 贴和扶助政策,助推国产企业 发展更好的进步。 尽管国产积木品牌正在 崛起,但与国外知名品牌相 比,还是有不小的差距。"
From Google Translate: "With outstanding product innovation, CaDa Bricks' technology building block sports car series, especially the 1:8 building block supercar series, has gained a large number of loyal fans. Talking about the reason for choosing to set up a subsidiary in Shenzhen, Yang Shuohang admitted that it was difficult to recruit suitable people when he first started making building block products. After setting up an office in Shenzhen, this problem was solved, especially the design and R&D talents. ... On the other hand, CaDa Bricks is closer to the user group and can better understand consumer needs. In addition, the Shenzhen government's financial subsidies and support policies have helped domestic enterprises to develop better progress. Although domestic building block brands are on the rise, there is still a big gap compared with well-known foreign brands."

The article notes: "And so it was on Christmas morning, she found herself unwrapping her heart's desire - or at least a 1:24 scale model of it. For in typical dad-joke style, I had bought her a Suzuki Jimny from the not-especially well-known brand CaDA bricks (one of those 'compatible with Lego' blocko brands), which she would have to assemble herself and which, I helpfully suggested, she could then drive around her desk making 'vroom vroom' noises. Somehow my incredibly wellthought-out prank gift didn't seem to cheer her up, although she did manage an eye roll and weak smile of bemused disappointment. In her defence, she had just come off working a night shift and, as she was heading back in for another shift later that evening, her energy levels were pretty low, which might explain her lack of gratitude."
