In lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, Dave Schuler wrote worthily on MB Ditto Dave! A good answer to the question of whether you'll like the bricks is to simply buy a cheap set and see what you think.

Thanks Dave! Normally I look up old posts, but this time I skipped! There seems to be quite a few posts on the MegaBloks vs Lego brands. After reading some I think it may be worth springing a few dollars for the ProBuilder series. BTW: KBToys.com (...) (20 years ago, 9-Jun-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) I'm not a great fan of the minimates figure design, so when the JLA kits finally appear in retail outlets, I'll be buying them for the overall sets, rather than for the figures. Thanks for the link, though! Dave! (20 years ago, 9-Jun-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) Hi Ram! I haven't yet purchased the Sea Wolf, but now would be a good time to buy it. It originally retailed for $79.99, but TRU has had it on sale for $39.97 for a while due to overstock.

Hi All! Till now I have spend mega bucks on Lego sets. Looking around Mega Bloks seem to have some interesting sets. Since I am still wary of the "Other" stuff. I was wondering if the folks having both Lego and Mega Bloks can provide their feedback. (...) (20 years ago, 9-Jun-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

I picked up a "grab bag" of Lego at a garage sale yesterday. Most of it was Lego, but there were a lot of 'clone' pieces as well -- each stamped with the word "toy".
