Explains why LEGO had a leg up for multiple years. You can’t just change the color pigments and hope the parts fit in the same way. Of course these times are over and other brick manufacturers caught up or overtook Lego.

Overtook Lego? In what way, quality of the bricks? Because Lego is still the largest toy company in the world by revenue.

Yes quality. I forgot the Chinese manufacturer that resells their bricks to pantasia or moldking. But the quality especially for metal or translucent bricks is on par and in a lot of cases better than the Lego offerings. And calling Lego a toy company is a stretch. Their main demographic is 30-50 year olds with disposable income.

Just want to mention I have no beef or issue with Lego. I say that you get great offerings from other brands as well now.

I know this is an old comment, but I'm curious what manufacturer you're referring to - is it Lepin?

Brittle Brown!

LEGO issued an official apology and you can get replacements for your brown bricks made before 2018. (=
