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...
I hadn't heard of that brand before. Is it possible to tell the difference between their bricks and Lego bricks?
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.
