Legos Quality in the last decade has been on a steady decline to an absurd degree. Most of their sets now are substandard in part count, part quality, full of stickers and it's all star wars and other tie ins while the prices skyrocketed. Meanwhile the Competition has stepped up significantly and there are now multiple manufacturers selling lego compatible pieces and sets of equal or higher quality for significantly less.

I buy the occasional set for myself and then quite a few for my kids every year. I'm not seeing it myself, the quality seems as good as ever, and the designs better than ever. It's never been a cheap toy, and yeah prices have gone up as with everything.

Interesting, what's an example of a compatible competitor with equal or higher quality for significantly less?

China cloning/being compatible with Lego isn't exactly a surprise, or I expect, particularly difficult (as they already manufacture plenty of plastic items in various quality/form).

I am a tad surprised it has taken them this long.
