gotta throw my two cents in here and admit that i seriously believe
megabloks is answering the afol's requests. i picked up the smaller tank model
(around 300 pieces for $10.00) and the battleship model (around 800 pieces for
$20.00) and i'm quite pleased with both of these models. (reviews to show up
somewhere in the near future.)
awesome numbers of pieces in each set at a VERY affordable price. also, it's
incredible how the company could have easily passed out a lot of 4x8, 4x10,
4x12 plates but instead do the construction with a larger number of 2x4 plates.
true, the bricks don't have the nice "shiny" quality and there are still some
points in designs that could use some improvement, but the company i would neve
even have LOOKED at before is getting a larger portion of my hobby-money then
they used to get.
