I don't have any charts or anything, but I can speak from experience that Megablox plastic is of far worse quality. LEGO pieces don't really break on me, and a good portion of these bricks are older than I am. I bought one Megablox dragon set about six years ago, and even though I played with them far less, several of the pieces have broken.

I also once ended up trading about 15-20 bucks of debt that a friend of mine owed me for the rest of his childhood LEGO collection. I got some great pieces, but there were also K'nex and Megablox pieces in that pile. Most of the 2x4 grey Megablox look almost identical to LEGO ones, and lots of those got mixed into my sorting bins. To this day I'll notice that if a piece fits funny, nine times out of ten I'll turn it over and Megablox will be written on the top. The studs don't fit as snugly, and the plastic wears out much faster.

That's an excellent, articulate and well-reasoned response. Far above the "KILL HIM!!!!!!!!!!11 BURN IT LOLOLOLOL!!!!!!111ELEVENTYONES" that are popular amongst some of our 'special' denizens. I salute you.
CONGRATULATIONS - you just WON The Game FOREVER. Or you can carry on being a humourless nugget - your call.

If you ask me killing him is still better. You don't reason with your enemy you kill him no questions asked because if you don't then he will.
Been here longer then pretty much all of you or some shit.
