I wasn't at all impressed with the MB Battleship, but that's probably because • large

Don't worry I wasn't building battleships, just castle-like fortifications,
Our range of Megabloks here is very limited, I have heard others mentioning
these bright buckets, we can only hope.
Richard.P was shoeing me his Tente blocks at LegOz 2000.2.
