Fun to build lego set recommendation? (self.lego)

I was obsessed with Lego as a kid, and would like to get into the hobby once again, not as an investment, but for the fun of it.

I am huge fan of Star Wars, and Lego star wars seem to be all the rage nowadays, but looking at the sets, they seem to be awfully overpriced for what they seem offer.

I am looking for something that will be fun to build, and not terribly pricey (not more than cca 180€). Preferably fantasy or scifi inspired.

I’ve been browsing the lego website and this set in particular cought my eye. Any recommendations? Thanks

As the other commenter said, they are of similar or better quality than Lego, but be aware that they also feature a higher clutch power generally. That sounds like a good thing initially, until you need to connect two parts of a build with a lot of studded connection surface between them, or try to get two stacked plates apart again. They're still great, it's just something to be aware of. I personally prefer the lower clutch power of Lego, it feels more nicely balanced to me.
