(...) If TLG produced better quality bricks, I wouldn't see the advantage of making them compatible with a competitor's inferior product. (...) Yes they can. JOHN (15 years ago, 20-Nov-09, to lugnet.mediawatch, FTX)

Then, when their patent ran out, LEGO decided to make awesome bricks that matched the MegaBloks standard, (...) (15 years ago, 19-Nov-09, to lugnet.mediawatch, FTX)

I wonder what path LEGO would have chosen in the mid-90s if they didn't have a significant market competitor to deal with. Mega Bloks was just starting to (...)
