I mean, you don't see Mega Bloks fans complaining about Leggos. 8^) Second, the bricks aren't as low quality as you probably think, and many of Mega Bloks' designs (...)

I put the sets together and they look good, even if they are built out of (...) (18 years ago, 25-Jun-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

For some reason the part quality is no where near as good as Mega Bloks' more brick (...) (18 years ago, 25-Jun-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)

| | | | | | (...) As the owner and builder of about 3000 LEGO sets and 200 MB sets, I have done a lot of comparing the two brands over the years. MB from last millenium is definately of poor quality, just like you describe. MB from the Dragon sets does earn (...) (18 years ago, 26-Jun-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

| | | | (...) Sadly my experience of Mega Bloks was pretty bad. I also had issues of actually getting them to stick together sometimes. Have your ever tried stacking 8 or so Mega Bloks 2x1 plates? Then do the same with Lego ones. Now run your finger over (...) (18 years ago, 25-Jun-06, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

I've never had any major problems as a result, though I acknowledge that the fit can sometimes be a little tight. (...) (...) (18 years ago, 25-Jun-06, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

Of course for more aesthetic models, it actually may add (...) (18 years ago, 26-Jun-06, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

I love the slight variations when building walls or hulls, kind of like the way Star Trek vessels are (...) (18 years ago, 26-Jun-06, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
