Yes, because LEGOs are so much CHEAPER than MBs, right fanboy? What's the real ripoff, here?

Can somebody explain to me the hatred Megabloks are getting? The models I've seen in stores do seem to less "recyclable" than LEGOs--it's more like they're designing toys that aren't meant to be enjoyed by arranging them in different ways, but do fit together by means of studs. However, is the quality of the bricks themselves that bad? I also have seen some Pokemon models from them that look decent, so why the hate? Just because they aren't your beloved price-gouging Danes?

This one isn't rhetorical: Do they fit together with LEGOS, literally, unlike Best-Locks which slip right off?

Where Bestlock fall off Legos Megabloks either fall off or never come off. They're made so strangely that it can be either.

The plastic isn't as high-quality as Legos.

They just aren't as good to actually play with. You usually can't disassemble them as much as Legos, and the pieces just look like a bunch of melted plastic.

In a nutshell, this. The plastic is also way lower quality and breaks easily.

As for fitting with LEGO bricks, they fit together with themselves about as well as they fit with LEGO brand bricks. Which is terribly.

Well, I stand corrected then. I suppose they really are shit. The sort of fanboyism that runs rampant here is still obnoxious even if it's warranted, however, because I wish that there truly was another construction brick company that was able to compete with LEGO on equal grounds, the better to stop LEGO from price-gouging. It's not that I hate LEGOs. I love them, but I deplore exploitive capitalists wherever they occur, and a love of LEGOs doesn't inspire me to forgive that, because those capitalistic policies make it all the more painful that I can't afford the LEGO sets I crave. I still somehow have a great deal, however.

What are "peaches," may I ask?

Post by **Greenkey15** » Sun Mar 01, 2009 10:22 pm

The peaches are an abomination to all of Brickkind. Some people like them for some demonic reason even though they are like the TLC' s Mega Blox (with Light-up-Lightsabers being the best-locks). They just don't fit with the rest of the minifigs I have, and for some other demonic reason they call me a racist. I think thats a little creepy, considering they're plastic toys, but wtf, I'm cool with it. I just know that when I rule the world, they will get to clean my palace's latrines. All over 9000 of them!!!

On second thought, I'll use google.

Edit: And this is amond the reults the search "Peaches LEGOs" returned:
(WARNING: Could be considered sexual by people who actually consider minifigs to be sexy)

Another Edit: Upon reading the thread, and making a conclusion, wow, just wow.

So a "peach" is just a LEGO guy that isn't yellow? Gee, the idiocy of this board's militant LEGO purism even rages within the boundaries of LEGOs. Just pathetic. Oh, and it's obvious why you guys didn't include the black minifigs that LEGO used for Sports sets: Because you can't bear to let political incorrectness draw attention to how stupid your bitching about non-yellow minifigs actually is. Luckily, I'm aware it's that stupid, regardless.

Peaches are the newer, peach-colored minifigs that Lego released for sets that are from movies (Star Wars, Indiana Jones). A lot of people don't like these because they just don't fit in with the classic Lego look. I agree with this, and even though I have many peaches and use them, I wish that they were all yellow.

And I agree with you on the whole Lego monopoly, but I like things to be uniform. Even if Megabloks were better, I would probably still only buy Legos.

Post by **Professor Fairfield** » Sun Mar 01, 2009 10:53 pm

Speak for yourself. I personally think it is much cooler the way that elements of various companies have been creatively combined in the rulebook illustrations, even though they might be from worse quality manufacturers (but at the minifig and weapon level, that's usually tolerable), and even though Mike says that he did that mainly for legal reasons.

Yellow people notwithstanding, uniformity was never the goal or appeal of Legos. Variety is the point; even if you just get twice as many as you had, the amount of things you can make increases exponentially, and since they branched out into so many different themes, they opened the floodgate to creative anachronism for anybody who was willing to do it. That's why they decided to capitalize on it by making the Time Cruisers/Twisters, why those are still my favorite sets ever, and why there's a dude with a Spartan helmet holding a lance and riding a motorcycle on the cover atwork here.

So likewise, if you want to make a crossover battle that is truly one nation fighting another, why shouldn't the people look different. I know that Lego originally made them yellow in order to not offend any race, but then, Brikwars just doesn't give a fuck about being offensive; it is a glorification of violence, afterall! So I say, if you ever want Vietnam Brikwars, the Americans should be white and black, and the Vietnamese should be yellow. I know drawing Asians in Lego-yellow was the hallmark of some very offensive propaganda in the past, but it isn't my intent to promote inferiority; just hyperbole on all sides for the sake of humor.

This is the best thing I've heard all day.

Also to be fair to Megabloks, a very few of their weapons are better, and some people like their minifigs a lot too.

I was.

That's just what the majority of people who don't like peaches or other brick companies would say; uniformity among their Lego people and uniformity among their collection.

ya know, i gotta agree with fairfield on this one. i've been silent for most of this thread, but there isn't really a difference between a peach and a non-peach. megabloks are inferior to legos but i buy tons of them because they're so cheap.
seriously guys. this is bordering racism.
