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.

    How odd that investing your time and passion into a corporately owned IP would go wrong!

      Heavy sarcasm there, uncalled for imo. It wouldn’t be unheard of for people to invest time and passion into a corporate owned IP, and it doesn’t always go belly up. Look at the amount of Elder Scrolls mods and patches just as one example.

      The fans certainly did more to keep Bionicle alive than the corporation that claims they own it.

      Hell, even the original writing team cared about Bionicle more than LEGO did.
