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 following far behind Mega Bloks’ Warriors: Future Force sets from years back.

Second, if you’d taken the time to build one of those sets or even the Blok Bots mechs, you’d know that they hold together very well, thanks.

If LEGO feels the need to chase after its competition, then that’s LEGO’s problem. But if you want to diss Mega Bloks, you should probably take some time to figure out what you’re talking about first.

And as always, if you don’t want to buy them, that’s great--more for me.

Dave!
