Hey cool. MB has some reasonably nice set designs, and if they got TLC to
manufacture the parts they have that TLC doesn't that would be even cooler -
they have some nice parts. If their castle was produced using LEGO bricks,
I'd have bought more than one. In my mind, the ONLY thing wrong with MB is
the actual quality of manufacture of the pieces.
