No, it's not. At least, not in my case. My "prejudice" against MB is
mostly 2 factors: (partly 1, but mostly 2)
1: Nostalgia. I grew up with Lego, I didn't grow up with Mega Bloks.
2: I don't like the feel of Mega Bloks. It's that simple. I've played with
Chris's a bit, and had a bag around for a while, but didn't like how they
felt when I was building.
That's about it for me. (BTW, Chris's stuff is even more impressive in person!)
YMMV.
