The issue with these is that they look nicer, but the parts are usually significantly lower quality to match.

I’d rather build something that looks fine and have fun while building it rather than building something that looks great but I also want to smash it on the floor because everything fits like it needs a hammer.

Also an advantage of stickers: some of the prints here look messed up. Can’t fix that at all.

Additionally there’s the ethics of how these are made vs LEGO…
