About Our Bricks Sets

How can Bricks Corner serve your building brick toy needs?

Based in Melbourne, VIC, Bricks Corner specializes in offering an extensive range of building brick toys and accessories, with a particular focus on alternative brands to Lego. Our services are tailored to support building brick enthusiasts in acquiring their preferred sets and related accessories. Our commitment extends beyond sales, aiming to foster a community where fans can find everything they need to pursue their passion.

Can you explain the distinction between an MOC set and a Lego set?

MOC (My Own Creation) sets, while mechanically compatible with Lego brand bricks, are produced by alternative manufacturers. These sets offer unique designs and themes not found in official Lego offerings, allowing builders to explore new creative possibilities.

Are instructions and packaging included with MOC sets?

Yes, every selected MOC set comes complete with an instruction booklet akin to what you would expect from Lego, ensuring a familiar building experience. Additionally, all bricks and components are meticulously packaged in a box, safeguarding their quality and integrity.

Do Lego alternative brands equate to counterfeit products?

The brands featured on the Bricks Corner website operate within a legitimate and authentic industry framework. These manufacturers conduct independent research, design, production, and sales activities, offering innovative products that are distinct from counterfeit goods. Our selection embodies the spirit of diversity and creativity in the building brick community.

Are Lego alternative brands in violation of Lego’s copyrights?

It's important to clarify that, following the expiration of Lego's last significant brick design patent in 1978, all manufacturers, including the brands we offer, are legally allowed to produce compatible brick designs. This legal stance encourages healthy competition in the toy market, facilitating the introduction of innovative and diverse building solutions for enthusiasts.

How do the playability and affordability of Lego alternative bricks compare?

Our curated selection of Lego alternative bricks presents a notable advantage in cost-effectiveness relative to their Lego counterparts, without compromising on playability or aesthetic appeal. These alternatives offer builders, especially adults, a rewarding and engaging experience at a more accessible price point.
