(...) Never underestimate the competition. I happen to think that competitiors such as Mega-Bloks and the other (legal) clones are good for AFOLs. They keep TLC on their toes, and that is a Good Thing®. That is the free market in action. I'm just (...) (21 years ago, 20-Nov-03, to lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) I agree that having competitors is a good thing. (...) What I object to is the constant posting of the same old stuff. "Hey! MB is great!" It seems everytime Dave or Rich gets a chance to promote MB, there they are tooting that horn. "Hey! MB (...) (21 years ago, 20-Nov-03, to lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) It's brand loyality and 30+ years of doing business with LEGO (never a dark age). I still hear stories from many friends who have had troubles with MB.
