They're overpriced, but if you compare them to every other cheaper brand, you'll see that they're really really high quality. But yeah, I personally wouldn't get into Lego too much if you don't have a lot of disposable money, or turn it somehow into a side gig to make money out of.

Agreed. As an engineer, they have REALLY nice tolerances
Turns out building something out of hundreds to thousands of quality, individual plastic pieces is more expensive than a couple of big pieces

No they are not. Lego is of horrible quality. The cheaper brand absolutely demolish Lego. The color quality. The stickers. The pricing. Laughable.
Other manufacturers have official licenses as well, they collaborate with MOCers, mostly use printing 100%, a specific color never varies in quality (LEGO does a lot), …

I'm not really a Lego defender, and I'm sure there are brands that are better in some aspects. But generally speaking Lego has been the best I've seen. Especially if you want to make things from scratch (and not buy a set). I would stay away from those cheap Chinese ones, the plastic they use is usually low quality and can harm your kids.

It's not exactly overpriced it's just that it has a shitload of pieces so it's expensive
