Mega-Krap:
6-It's not LEGO
7-Doesn't have LEGO on top of its studs
8-Quality = joke
9-It's not LEGO
10-Has lots of POOPs
11-It's not LEGO

See, eleven reasons you shouldn't get Mega-Krap.

if I where interested only in pbbs for building aspects, then I would say lego all the way.

however, being a player of brikwars, it is good to have some megabloks to do battle with, and to increse the size of your battlefield more easilly with.

His name is Winnie The Pooh.

Fun fact: The guy who voices Winnie The Pooh also does the voices for Kaa in The Jungle Book and The Cheshire cult of Alice In Wonderland.

Another fun fact - the chap that voiced Eeyore in Disney's Winnie the Pooh adventures also voiced Optimus Prime in the old cartoons and new movie (not to mention Venger from the Dungeons and Dragons cartoon).

I read the first page and though, right, great I'll submit a vote and express an opinion. Then I submit my vote and click on the last page and find you guys talking about Whinny the fuckin' Pooh, I mean WTF! You guys are freekin' mental and haphazardly cool. I think that should be included as vote option. The D+D cartoons were great btw.

I'm just a little black rain cloud
Hovering under the honey tree
I'm only a little black rain cloud
Pay no attention to little me
Everyone knows that a rain cloud
Never eats honey, no, not a nip
I'm just floating around over the ground
Wondering where I will drip

yep at least the thread lasted a long time on subject.

any way the one thing i really liked from megablox was its master builder series, they were great cheap finds for standard bricks, personaly i liked the destroyer model, plenty of good 4x2 brick in grey. and also some decent plates unlike most megablock sets.

Megablocks are a heck of a lot cheaper, so I buy them for unimportant builds like scenery and stuff, though they do get mixed in with my larger creations from time to time. If I see one on one side, I make sure to make it symmetric on the otherside. I HATE when there's a random megablock that doesn't git in because of the off-colored-ness.

You cannot deny that some Megablock pieces have more value than the Lego pieces. For instance, I have found a two stud sideces 2 X 2 piece that is perfect for most everything I have that needs flipped.

Theres also those "fenders" that I constantly use as armor, which it does the role perfectly.

Lastly, they do have awesome combat sets. The Gunship set had awesome missiles, the Battleship had plenty of grey's, but noy onlt that but the missile launcher had tilting pieces that work on a completely different level than the Lego tilter.

Then last but not least, the Abrams set. Take that apart and you have some of the most awesome HMG's, Cannons, Hatches, and armor pieces.
Remember, there are no such thing as Athiests in foxholes. There's also no such things as foxes in foxholes.

I'd say heresy.

I wouldnt want to be found dead buying a megablox set.
I was had to "assemble" the black pearl once,
my very own parents gave it to my nephew as a birthday gift.
never been so ashamed, especially since my uncle is an AFOL.
almost all pieces where POOPs, and as mike said, they would only fit together with extreme violence and come apart later.

horrible
