Lego is actually killing themselves. Especially with all the stuff involving smart phones which is something they should fight against instead of working with to get children away from that stuff and into creativity.

Also their ever so strong Technic range suffered badly this year, no more B models in the bigger boxes, ridiculous pricing for very little features. 

 

There is a German channel called "Held der Steine", he began reviewing Lego stuff but then got sued over his logo by Lego and since then is also reviewing other products made by chinese companies or Polish company Cobi where he goes in depth and explains what he likes, what he dislikes and recommends. It's a fun channel to watch with lots of great information.

 

Recently the bricks "industry" had to face another problem though, which is MOC's sold by Chinese companies without reaching out to the actual creator and with the sheer amount of MOC's out there it's really hard to tell when shopping with the Chinese brands if it's a stolen MOC or something out of their own creativity studio.
