I think if
you replied with a statement documenting your extensive experience with MB
products over the last two-three years it goes without saying that your reply

The last 2-3 years being the operative phrase there. Prior to that, well...
read here. That said I
agree that within the last 2-3 years Mega Bloks has improved significatly. On a
scale of one to ten I would say Lego is a 9 and Mega Bloks is an 8 (Mega Bloks
used to be a 4 IMO.) Obviously I buy them now, especially the Pro-Builder naval
vessels. So I dont know that the anti-clone sentiment is xenophobic just based
on ignorance (which means the lack of knowledge and is not an insult) of the
current higher quality.
