In the comic, it’s bricks. For me, sets is a lot more context dependent. I’m not against it in principle, for what is a set but an amalgamation of bricks, but it only feels natural to me for a larger number of sets. In the end, all of this is pretty subjective.
As to the store brand example - most supermarkets around here don’t use their own brand name for their store brand products, but instead come up with brand names, sometimes different ones per product category. Still, I’d argue that even a selection of one of those brands would be a lot more varied than a bag of lego sets. The one might be vegan yogurt, tofu, and oat milk, while the other will mostly be cardboard boxes with plastic bricks, a manual, and maybe some stickers. One of them is a lot more closely related than the other.
