The actual quality isn't as bad as some people seem to think, but there has
indeed been juniorization in MEGABLOKS--almost as long as in LEGO sets. Unlike
LEGO, MEGABLOKS usually (though not always) offsets the juniorization with
generous quantities of standard bricks. The Dragons sets don't do this quite as
well, but they do include some really nifty 1x2, 2x2, and 2x4 bricks with a kind
of rounded, rough-hewn look. I'm less thrilled with the highly textured but
juniorized wall elements, though some of the bits and pieces could conceivably
be used to good effect.
Dave!
