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, right off the bat you demonstrated your ignorance, so your post degenerates from a well-intended slam on Mega Bloks to an ill-informed rant by a truebeliever.

Consider: “I hate Bionicle because the parts have no versatility and can’t be used in MOCs.”

See how silly that is? I really don’t care for Bionicle, but at least I know the proper basis on which to criticize the product line.

And the off-topic.clone-brands in lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands stands for clone-brands.

Like I said--diss them all you want, but just be aware of what you’re dissing.

Dave!
