I was thinking of the large blobby shaped “bases” that come with the small sets. Blech! At least a LEGO BURP has regular sides and edges that allow it to be built into something larger.

Oh, those.

Yeah, they’re not the best, but I’ll say this: To me, LEGO BURPS look like nothing more than a deliberate effort to reduce the number of bricks in a set, whereas the Mega Bloks rock-elements at least resemble the rocks that they portray.

In the end, it’s an aesthetic choice, but it’s important that neither company overdo the huge pieces in any single set.

Dave!
