While on the main story islands the hearts level up your base, on the Isle of Awakening you use them to unlock recipes and these explorer islands. These help you level up your bases but these hearts are also collected on the Isle of Awakening. Over the course of the game, your villagers drop little hearts when they are happy about something. Kre-O’s builds are praised in the brick building community for their high quality compared to other knockoff brands, which makes sense considering it’s made by Hasbro, one of the largest toy manufacturers in the world.While I think the procedurally generated approach was a mistake, as it just feels cheap after the first game, the issue is how you get access to these islands in the first place. Hopefully, we can expect more original builds from Kre-O in the future. The original offerings are far more limited, with the only currently running original theme being Cityville Invasion, which does offer some nice city-based sets that younger builders, in particular, are sure to love. You’ll find sets from popular franchises such as Transformers and Star Trek, finally giving fans of those IPs builds comparable to the LEGO sets IPs like Star Wars and Marvel have been getting for years.

This can lead to loosely fitting bricks, a complaint frequently made about LEGO knockoffs. This forces some companies to create different locking mechanisms for bricks that are generally inferior. Part of the reason for this is that LEGO has patents and trademarks for how its bricks are made. Simply put, LEGO bricks are going to be higher quality than any knockoff due to LEGO’s extensive quality assurance and years spent perfecting its bricks. The Downsides of Alternativesīut it is worth talking about why LEGO is so expensive in the first place. A knockoff may produce sets LEGO never would (or hasn’t gotten around to). The other main reason to go with a knockoff is simply for more options. Other brands can offer you more pieces and bigger builds for less than LEGO. LEGO sets can be expensive, so your options are quite limited if you’re on a tight budget. But Why Bother Going with an Alternative in the First Place?įor many, one of the main reasons to look at LEGO alternatives or knockoffs is the price.
While many are just cheap imitations of the real thing, there are still a few that do things differently from LEGO worth looking at. We have seen many companies and brands try to compete with LEGO. With that sort of success, comes competition. Its iconic bricks allow for unlimited creativity in both kids and adults. LEGO is one of the most popular toy brands in the world, and for good reason.
