MEK (or any other solvent for that matter) should stand up to soapy
water. Solvents actually dissolve the plastic slightly, then the plastic
re-solidifies after the solvent evaporates. In the end you don't have a
'glue' bond - you just have one piece of plastic. Of course the joined
plastic is rarely as structurally sound as an originally molded piece of
plastic.
I don't know what plastic MegaBlocks uses, but I don't think its ABS.
However, there are solvents for just about any type of plastic. In fact,
MEK works on tons of stuff other than ABS, so it may do the trick anyway.
CA based glues would also be worth a try. The bond is waterproof (just
ask anyone who has crazy glued their fingers together).
