Are there any good price comparisons for Lego vs alternatives? I didn't look at the piece per piece price, but the non-liscensed sets seem comparable at best (~€10 for a small build).
The only things way out of proportion for Lego are licensed sets (Disney tax keeps going up) and minifigures (collectors blow a lot of money)
