(...) So MB is now trying to jump on the mecha bandwagon to compete with LEGO's Exo-Force sets...interesting. I wonder if they'll make a realistic picture of one of their Gundams that's just a pile of robot limbs, since that's what will probably (...)

(...) Criticisms like yours are delightful because they show clearly that you don't know what you're talking about. First, Mega Bloks beat LEGO in the race for articulated mech-like sets by several years. Exo-Force is very much a johnny-come-lately (...)

(...) I think it's safe to say Bandai has the ability to nix something that MegaBloks develops if they're not happy with it, so I highly doubt this would happen. Also, as Dave said, MB already beat Lego in the mecha department. As much as I don't (...) (18 years ago, 24-Jun-06, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)

(...) If I want to diss Megabloks, then I'm in the exact right place to do it. (The L in LUGNET stands for LEGO.) (18 years ago, 24-Jun-06, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)

(...) Well, Jeff already hit the nail on the head. Go ahead and diss them. Heck, scream to high heaven about how bad you think they are, for all I care. But the more obviously ill-informed your criticism, the sillier you look in the process. I mean, (...) (18 years ago, 24-Jun-06, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)

(...) Well, I find it annoying, yes. (URL) are some of my thoughts on the subject, in fact. At the end of the day, this is obviously a LEGO-fansite, but it seems childish in a "he-men-women-haters-club" sort of way to attach a little snark in the (...)

(...) Those very first batch of Blok Bots were pretty bad. However the second generation of Blok Bots was right around the time Mega Bloks had a rather large quality jump.
