Gonna have to disagree with you whole heartedly on the quality of Mega Bloks.
When the MB Dragons line first came out, I bought several sets, being a dragon
fan. I put the sets together and they look good, even if they are built out of
GIGANTIC pieces.
The sets came with some 2x4 bricks as well. I tried to put them together - some
did, some didn't. A few of the 2x4 bricks wouldn't stay together - there was no
friction between them at all. Other bricks were so hard to put together I had
to put my entire body weight on them to click together - only to later have to
use a pair of pliers to separate them. Mind you these were bricks bought from a
brand new, undamaged set.
One set I had put together popped apart on its own. Literally. It was sitting
on my desk and without touching it, bumping it, no severe temperature changes,
no wind, no external forces whatsoever - the bricks litterally popped apart and
the set collapsed in on itself.
No, Mega Bloks are of inferior quality to LEGO. I've never had a new LEGO brick
act any differently than any other brick in my collection.
