Mouldking is one of the best when it comes to quality of the alternatives, I would say on the level of LEGO™. I’d suggest trying it out, they even sell on Amazon and are not that expensive.

I don’t know if one gets brigaded here as well as on reddit, but if you actually want to have a good building experience, with better quality bricks and don’t care about the sets as an investment, go to brick alternatives. Mouldking has a ton of cool star wars sets that are much cheaper per piece.

I stopped buying LEGO™ for years now, the alternatives only get better and LEGO™ only gets worse. The only reason to buy LEGO™ nowadays is to keep the sets closed and hope they get even more expensive in the future… They even stopped B-Models. They know their customers…

Not really for me yet, but maybe that will change next month. Or even apread when the blackout starts. I’m hopeful. Still, reddit felt like a home for me and some interests of mine aren’t as tech friendly and therefore have not migrated here so far. It will be interesting to see how it all evolves.

But I deleted FB 2013. Twitter when Elon came. Never had Instagram or tiktok. I will survive.
