Against my hesitant judgement, I picked up a set -- Batman's Bat wing
and I was surprised. The pieces connect and stay together rather well. Not quite
as tight as Lego or Oxford, but a lot better than Megablocks. And yes, they work

are willing, then a person can grab some very cool pieces for some neat MOCs.

Any other comments? Anyone know anything I don't?
