Maybe a good way to think about the question is this: can you imagine,
hypothetically, a time when MEGA BLOKS quality rises high enough, and LEGO
quality sinks low enough, that you would begin buying MEGA BLOKS in
preference to LEGO? If the answer is “no,” then you’re probably a dedicated
brand loyalist. If the answer is “yes,” then you may be loyal to the brand,
but you’re also a pragmatist.

On that quality point, I know you’re talking hypothetical here, but I did call
the consumer services number to do some inquiring of my own. The rep told me
that LEGO was getting calls that people were hearing rumors that LEGO was using
a lower grade of plastics and such a rumor is absolutely false.
One more note about my conversation with the rep- I did ask if she had any of
the new color of gray to compare with older ones and was told they do not at
this moment and won’t untill mid December; it’s in another warehouse that’s a
bit of a walk. The rep also sounded a bit surprised when I said light gray was
one of the colors in for the change.
