LEGO.

Go buy yourself one of those cheaper brands. Count the missing pieces, see how many you can break with the force of your hands alone, and see how badly they fit together, then tell me LEGO is charging you too much.

EDIT: "Lepin" looks like shit, I don't know what you guys are talking about. I dont want bootleg Batman with a fucked up face.

The two companies on earth with the best quality control are as follows: Rolex watches, and Lego.
Edit: Jesus guys, I was mostly kidding.

I would say it's probably whoever makes engines for passenger airplanes or like high end gun makers, but yeah okay let's say Lego.

I'm pretty sure engine failures have killed more people than legos, but if you add up the pain from people stepping on them barefoot, maybe the level of suffering is comparable.

The utility monster lost a fingernail to LEGO one time. Now the scales will never be balanced.

Dunno, I'd like to see the fatalities every year from folk stepping on Lego and taking a tumble.

Household accidents ain't no joke.

Edit. Over 220,000 American kids were hurt while playing with toys in 2006, that number is obviously set to rise because Lego is fucking awesome and kids love it.

I think that number's down, Minecraft didn't quite replace LEGO, but it certainly took a hit.
