There are companies making bricks in much better quality than LEGO, and they are cheaper than LEGO. What kind of a margin is this supposed to be?
Any brands you would recommend?
Try looking for Mould King or Cada - those are usually the ones that are considered to deliver great quality for a reasonable price.
It should be mentioned that both companies are gearing their products much more towards an older audience - so they aren’t really an alternative when talking about kids playsets.
Yes like guns ! Lego wont make sets that oriented to violence or wqr
Cada make nice plastic guns !!!
Bluebrix is nice
I usually shop around on https://www.bluebrixx.com/en/ Their Specials didn't disappoint so far. They carry other vendors too, but you might want to browse reviews on the web to see what's really good. Quality does vary between vendors, but LEGO bricks aren't as perfect as people believe either.
