   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.

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.

(...) Well, I find it annoying, yes. (URL) are some of my thoughts on the subject, in fact.
