First, courtesy suggests that the least you could do is learn the brand name.

Yes, Mega Bloks makes considerable use of BURPS and POOPS, but the ProBuilder line showed the remarkable versatility of conventional bricks, far beyond anything that LEGO was doing at the time. As I mentioned, I'm happy if people choose not to buy Mega Bloks, because it leaves more for me. But you do yourself a disservice if you reject any brand because of incorrect perceptions of it. > 2) I'm possibly the biggest Gundam fan here. Heh.
