(...) Actually that sounds about right. On the MB website they have a flash animation that boasts of the size of their sets by piece count in ascending order. It goes 780...1400...1700, and I don't know of any other MB set that corresponds to that (...) (24 years ago, 13-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) 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 (...) (24 years ago, 13-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

I just finished building the MB Blue Thunder plane. I have to agree with someone else's comment that the rear horizontal wings are a bit flimsy.
