For my money, the "inferior quality" argument is rapidly becoming obsolete, but I can understand that those with a preference for pure Lego still will not be satisfied in this regard. (...)

  Re: Has anyone heard of this?
 
(...) I find that very unlikely. I don't see much anywhere near as much MB on the shelves as real LEGO around here.
