G'day all,

having seen images of next years sets (this years hopefully for us in
OZ...the wonders of the international time zones) I have been wondering if
Lego have been nicking ideas off Mega Blocks. This has been prompted by the
'action' sets megablocks produced in the past few years featuring among

  Well why not?  They've already copied MegaBloks' 8x8 plate!  For those
unfamiliar with the MegaBloks set in question, I'll post a pic of it

there's a certain "look" demanded by the theme).  It amuses me greatly that
LEGO is now effectively operating as a clone of a clone.

  Thanks for the link and the info!
