ABS can vary in quality, but it's irrelevant in this example, because MEGABLOKS

What ARE they made of?

I was pretty sure they were ABS too, just a different formulation. Are they made
of some sort of styrene anyway, even if not ABS? SAN maybe? Or something totally
different?

Doh!  The clonemeister's been scooped!
I thought it had been established somewhere that MEGABLOKS used some lesser
manner of styrene other than ABS, but I could easily be mistaken.  There was a
thread in OT-Clones a while back about Ritvik's newly-contracted molding
company, but I can't find the thread now.

Anyway, I'm still pretty sure that TLG isn't contracting its brick-molding
through MEGABLOKS!
