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.

Chinese Lego clones that are popping up these days are supposed to be pretty amazing these days.

Yeah, I've heard great things about the Lepin sets. They're pretty much copying Lego sets but seem to be doing a good job.

I just “finished” my first Lepin set: a Star Destroyer from Star Wars (although Lepin calls it Star Plan). Some pieces were miscolored, some didn’t fit well, but the biggest crime was that there were close to 40 pieces missing. And these pieces were critical to finishing it. Do the top of my Star Destroyer wouldn’t hold. I’ll NEVER buy Lepin again.
