What good alternatives to LEGO are there? (lemmy.world)

As a Bionicle fan, LEGO recently burnt me and the whole fandom pretty badly. So I'm pretty much giving the whole company the middle finger.

I know there are probably a bunch of good alternatives out there, and I remember some being mentioned to me previously, but I don't know where to find them.

I'm looking for LEGO and LEGO Technic alternatives/knock-offs of good quality. Preferable European in origin rather than Chinese.

They don't need to have popular or brand themes, or be copies of actual LEGO sets, just good parts at good prices.

Yeah, there has been some idea floating about that this might be in advant of a new Bionicle reboot. A G3.

But the way LEGO is treating its fans has killed any anticipation I have for a new Bionicle line. If there does end up coming a Bionicle G3, then it's only because we are here. It's because of us that LEGO might even consider trying Bionicle again is financially viable. If this is the way LEGO thanks its fans for keeping it alive, then to put it mildly; they can go fuck themselves.

Anyway, between 2014 and 2015 LEGO already tried to reboot Bionicle, and failed miserably at it. LEGO seems to have forgotten what exactly made Bionicle so succesful, and now considers the original success as a fluke. As lightning in a bottle. Truth is that there was a lot of passion behind Bionicle, something that G2 and any potential G3 will be missing.
