With more and more alternatives appearing to Lego which also increase in variety and even surpass at times Lego quality, why focus just on this company for a brick building community? I for example have been badly burned by Lego’s handling of the Mindstorms brand and there are more compatibility broken product lines from Lego.

Is posting other brands alright here? Will it lead to unpleasant conflicts from Lego, if their brand name is used?

    Oh, you are opposed to offbrand bricks being discussed in the Lego community. Not just like opposed in general. I agree honestly. And I understand your position now :)

      opposed to offbrand bricks being discussed in the Lego community

      Yes, except if it’s in reference to LEGO™️ content (ex. “LEGO should make a piece like this Megablox piece”, or “LEGO‘s print quality is so much better than [offbrand competitor]”)

      Not just like opposed in general

      I’m opposed in general in the sense that I don’t buy them but if someone wants to buy Megablox or another legitimate competitor, I’m fine with that. Like you, I am opposed in general to plagiarist brands.
