(...) As the owner and builder of about 3000 LEGO sets and 200 MB sets, I have done a lot of comparing the two brands over the years. MB from last millenium is definately of poor quality, just like you describe. MB from the Dragon sets does earn (...) (18 years ago, 26-Jun-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) Each to their own I suppose. Outside of the odd mech or spaceship, I generally build robots and machines. Not lining up straight could be a major problem if a mechanism snags something. Of course for more aesthetic models, it actually may add (...) (18 years ago, 26-Jun-06, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) Yes sadly the Dragons and Pyrates Mega Bloks lines are some of the worst quality they have done. Its not because of the juniorizedness of the sets either. For some reason the part quality is no where near as good as Mega Bloks' more brick (...) (18 years ago, 25-Jun-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)

(...) 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. They are still not as good as Lego but they are a lot closer than the early (...) (18 years ago, 25-Jun-06, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)

(...) I agree that the plates and bricks don't always line up laser-straight with one another, but honestly I kind of like that. I've never had any major problems as a result, though I acknowledge that the fit can sometimes be a little tight. (...) (...) (18 years ago, 25-Jun-06, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) Sadly my experience of Mega Bloks was pretty bad. I also had issues of actually getting them to stick together sometimes. Have your ever tried stacking 8 or so Mega Bloks 2x1 plates? Then do the same with Lego ones. Now run your finger over (...) (18 years ago, 25-Jun-06, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) 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 (...)

(...) 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 (...) (18 years ago, 25-Jun-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
