I'd have to agree with you there. My loyalty has been tested, and I hate to say,
it failed. The MB Dragon sets have wonderful shields and weapons, the bricks are
getting better even. The figs of course still suck... those Tin's are nice though.

Go ahead and flame me, I don't care! Lego has failed in so many ways... and it's a
sad day :( yeah yeah.. we have legends.. we have this... sorry.. too little, too
late..  They can't even give a serious builder 1x1 bricks let alone 1x3's... or a
decent selection of slopes..   My few dollars I give to the competition isn't
going to matter much to Lego.. though I have a feeling after it starts adding up..
they'll feel it..

(...) Maybe the Main Lego Company took this from the Lego Direct 'drawing board' and rushed a production run through. The insane rate that the Mega Bloks Dragons sets are selling would definitely be a good reason why they would do that. -Mike (...) (24 years ago, 2-Oct-02, to lugnet.castle)
