Exactly. I as much as made the quality argument myself by saying I still had
Lego from twenty years ago.

I was in TRU the other day hunting clearance sales when a family with two
toddlers said, "Oh look, Legos. Do you want some Legos?" And then, "Wow,
look at those prices!" They immediately went to the Megablocks and said,
"Here's some other *Legos*. How 'bout this one, ya want this one?"
They're in danger of losing their brand recognition.
