Lego price per part over the years – Brick Insights

Is this based on your own recent experience? I recently got into the mood to build some LEGO again, after not having done it since childhood, but I recoiled at the prices of current LEGO sets. Got something from BlueBrixx instead and am really happy with it. The bricks look great, feel satisfying to put together and I can't tell a difference from how I remember it from all those years ago.

I definitely remembers seeing some Mega Bloks some 15-20 years ago and they were really really bad like you described but from what I can tell, other competitors have actually caught up to LEGO nowadays.

I don't have any experience with BlueBrixx. It looks like a German brand on the higher end of the price scale. It's not available in my country.

I have some recent limited experience with Chinese knock-offs like Lepin and Panlos, and they are bad in the ways I described.

That's good to know, then I'm gonna avoid those two for now.
