If you're buying lego to build fine motor skills, it doesn't need to be the Lego brand or even building bricks.

Hell, remember Meccano? Now if you want something age appropriate for an 8-year-old that develops fine motor skills, Meccano is the way to go! Sure none of it is licensed like Lego, but you can build some crazy stuff! They were building full-on steam locomotives back in the day! Meccano was actually used to build differential analysers in the 1930s.
