Just some of my thoughts...

Eh, I don't like the Dragon product line. The occasional special piece in a
kit is great (Bionicle pushes the limits of good taste, but doesn't break
them), the Dragon line is hard to be considered bricks at all. From what
I've seen, there are very few studs on many of their products (such as this
dragon-in-an-egg product, I can't find any studs or stud holes in it; to be
fair, the translucent foggy shell does obscure some of it).

I haven't seen their Pirate line, because Walmart is carrying less of MB
than they are of LEGO (see "Ahh, the old times..."), so its just 3 or 4
different Dragon products, their Marvel line (of which I can say is just a
clone of the Bionicle-in-a-can or Knights-in-a-can concept), and their
micro-building stuff. About a dozen products total.

(...) Did i mention the MB Dragon’s line somewhere?!? (I don't think i linked to it?) Actually i was referring to their new 'Pyrate' line and how they reinvented the minifig that really got my attention. Interestingly enough though, the Dragon line (...)

!Hey guys, _MegaBloks_ Yup, that's right... i'm using the 'MB' word! ...lol Perhaps this is the wrong place to ask, but… does MegaBloks have an open forum for their product lines like Lego does with this here fan-site ‘Lugnet’... What i mean to say (...) (19 years ago, 3-Jul-05, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.general, lugnet.pirates)
