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 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".
