Think of something original, there's plenty of ideas out there to be

improve them.  I would have to suggest that your terrible-at-best experiences
are non-representative of the overall quality of MegaBloks, especially in
recent years.  Which sets, specifically, did you play with, and when?  As has
been stated before, the current line of sets are of quite good quality, in
terms of design, piece count, and brick strength.
