I hadn't heard of that brand before. Is it possible to tell the difference between their bricks and Lego bricks?
As the other commenter said, they are of similar or better quality than Lego, but be aware that they also feature a higher clutch power generally. That sounds like a good thing initially, until you need to connect two parts of a build with a lot of studded connection surface between them, or try to get two stacked plates apart again. They're still great, it's just something to be aware of. I personally prefer the lower clutch power of Lego, it feels more nicely balanced to me.
Quality wise? Barely. LEGO bricks are of course branded but that's the main difference by now. They are compatible with each other as well if that's what you're asking.
Ah yes I meant in terms of quality. It's good to hear that they're as high quality as Lego bricks, and being compatible is also a plus. I remember having alternative bricks when I was younger and the quality was noticeably worse so I'm glad they're improving.
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.
