[brummer]

Now Bluebrixx sell there own R 56 and R72 curves.

I buy some R56 and it looks ok.

Well, I really, really dislike bluebrixx and their fanbase, especially after the last incident with Lego, but still would like to know about the quality. A lot cheaper than trixbrix, I really wonder where they get the difference in pricing from - do you have some other products for comparison?

Be interesting to see what the quality is like. How bad can it be

I bought one of their parks and the brick quality & Clutch was extremely poor.  You breathed and it fell over. Never again.

I have a lot of trixbrix track and that has come on leaps and bounds.

At 1:51 you can see that the Bluebrix tracks are warped.  Sprue marks are also clearly visible.

In comparison, all Trixbrix tracks I ordered so far, both moulded and 3D-printed, are perfectly flat.

The train windows and matching glass I have bought from BlueBrixx which haven't been produced by LEGO in a long time have all been the same overall quality as genuine LEGO ones. Slightly better in a few aspects (color consistency) and slightly worse in a few others (tolerance).

I can buy 40-50 new tan train windows from BlueBrixx for the price of 1 genuine one on BrickLink. 

Or in colors never available as genuine ones.

It's the same story with the matching glass and other rare out-of-production train parts.

The one BlueBrixx train set I bought out of curiosity was a very mixed bag.

Lovely design, incredible part-to-price ratio, most parts were good to great but a few were below average, not the best quality control regarding scratches, some odd amateurish stability issues, truly horrible building experience where some steps couldn't even be built as intended in the building instructions. Never again.

To me BlueBrixx is a no-brainer in some areas but very much hit and miss elsewhere.

Dtomsen i would have to agree with you. As some people have had a great experience with bluebrixx, from some reading today.

I wonder if i had an early one when the bricks where not as good but now quality has improved.

Legotowinz i will go back and have a look at the video.
