If the original image they took was the same size (in pixels) as the image
displayed on the web page then it should not be blocky. The reason you
should expect it to be blurry looking is that each pixel is imaged one at a
time so whatever image is resolved onto the sensor is averaged into one
pixel. Chances are there is some overlap where adjacent pixels are seeing
the same part of the scene. It takes excellent optics and mechanical
positioning to get a good picture this way -- lego parts won't get you
either.
