My personal opinion is that if another brand can match LEGO's consistent quality I'd be open to it but as long as the quality of the individual pieces remains so freaking low it's not worth it (looking at you Mega Blocks!)
From what I heard there are quite a few brands now that reached Lego's quality (indeed, definitely not Mega Blocks)
Okay that's really cool actually! I remember back when I actually built with Legos there were some specialized pieces made by enthusiasts since Lego didn't have a good equivalent yet, such as steam locomotive wheels for example, or replacement 9V Lego Trains tracks, but those were all different than full on Lego competitors
