This past Christmas I helped my 6 yr. old cousin (I am 20 FYI) build one of his Chirstmas presents. A Megablocks NASCAR racer. One of the big ones. Not only was the color variation annoying but the bricks were either too loose or too tight. I spent 4 hours balanceing loose and tight bricks just so the stupid thing would stay together. Once It was complete my aunt and uncle made sure to tell him that it was a display piece as pushing it around would lead it to fall apart. I then proceded to show my aunt and uncle (with my new snowspeeder) how much better lego was. I shook it up and down very violently and nothing came off. I sincerely hope that Lego is reading this thread. > Memo to Lego: Does it mean anything to you that some of your most loyal fans • are > at the point of diverting a portion of their disposable income to your > competitors? I shudder to think if it would get that bad. Megablocks has much better set design right now but I still cannot accept the poor quality of the bricks. How ever, if Lego keeps going down the path it is on and Megablocks overhuals their quality, I know where my money would go. Fortunatly for Lego they have the Star Wars sets right now. For the people that don't like Space, understand that the part content is better for building town and castle stuff than the actual town and castle sets of the past few years. Lego should return to designing all of their sets with the quality and attention to detail that they have in Star Wars. Megablocks already does with most of their sets. I find it Sad really that TLG/C is proverbially shooting themselves in the foot with most of their product line. -Lord Insanity "A little nonsense now and then, relished by the wisest men" Visit me at: http://members.tripod.com/~LordInsanity
