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.
buy a 3d printer and print your own
Can’t afford it (or one that would make anything in the quality I’m after) and don’t have space for one.
They’re really not that expensive anymore, year by year they’re less enthusiast-only and more general consumer friendly.
Bambu A1 or A1 Mini can comfortably print it with the desired quality.
Also, for printing LEGO-like bricks, you can use a smaller printer, and focus on quality
a hanfdul of lego sets is more expensive.
