That's true. There's one particular brand that Lego fans were obsessed with a few years ago, a Chinese knockoff called 'Lepin'. They re-produced many highly sought after Star Wars sets that fans had been begging to come back for years. Among them was the Jabba's Sail Barge set and the original Star Destroyer.
My issue with Lego is how they never lower their prices. In the past few years, they've upped the Disney tax for Star Wars sets. We used to pay $20 a set before 2018 and now they are up to $30 for the smaller sets and they definitely are not worth it. I have to hand it to them though, cause that recent Cantina set was beautifully made and if I were rich, I'd blow $350 on it and have a blast building that with all the alien mini figures. Lego does make great Star Wars sets from time to time, but they really bleed you dry of cash for them.
