All I have to say is...

I don’t believe mega-bloks will ever challenge the popularity of Lego in any serious way. Just buy one of the mega-bloks mech sets; I made that mistake a few years ago. The blocks don’t stay together at all! I was so disappointed... it’s one thing to build a model that sits on a shelf and doesn’t move; it’s another thing to try and build mobile model.

My guess is that if Lego is smart, they will offer a Gla Gla style armature set, which includes parts for people to build their own japanese style mecha. I’ll save my $30 for that, rather than some mega-bloks knock-off...

Later, Chris
