That Cessna is news to me. I don’t follow Best-Lock as closely as Mega
Bloks, but when I see something cool from BL I may give it a look.

I don’t know if either of you have actually tried a BestLock set... yes, they
look pretty cool and you get a LOT of pieces for the price. And the fact that
they use the stud width = brick height (so a plate is 1/2 a stud thickness, and
so that every 5 Lego bricks stacks up to every 5 Best Lock) would have provided
for some very interesting building.
But alas, they don’t stick to Lego. Their studs are thicker and taller than
Lego’s ... A Lego brick will stick on top of a Best Lock piece, but not the
other way around. Also, a Lego plate, on top of a BL piece will leave a gap
(because the BL studs are too tall). If Megablocks is 90% compatible with Lego,
these are less than 50%.
Oddly, their Minifigs are pretty much 100% compatible.
