...megabloks or best-lock?

a hard question they both exemplify suckage.

I'd say best-lock. Mega-Bloks is not better, but it has some parts that are cool.

Mega Blocks doesn't have any really good modern military vehicles, but Best-Lock offered me some decent jeeps and tanks at very good prices. I have quite a bit of them, and I use them to provide the lesser minifigs with some kind of heavy armor. Their old minifigs are lousy but more resilient than MB's, and do possess some of the classic "smiling idiot with a gun" charm so relished in Lego's own. The new ones are bland, though, so I'm loathe to buy them.

Here's something to ponder. Neither Lego nor Mega Blocks make a full-size military tank for less than forty dollars. Best-Lock has several for twenty or less. For that alone they've earned my grudging respect, if not my money.

true. i always liked best-lock for their military vehicles, but then i tried to modify a tank with my legos and i couldn't get my legos off again. i still can't.

its there evil plan make there studs bigger than legos so your pieces get traped forever!

3rd'd.

Megabloks. Best-Lock has some sets where you're really just assembling the big parts of normal toys in a set way by means of studs, as opposed to being given the chance to arrange them in different ways, but as near as I can tell, with Megabloks that's basically every set of theirs. Best-Lock actually has some good models; incompatibility with Legos is the only problem with those, but at least Best-Lock makes good minifig weapons that Legos can wield. For that matter, Megabloks makes some pretty cool minifigs. The only thing they really do badly is beating Lego at their own game.

everyone who wants a laugh, check out www.best-lock.com. it's the worst designed website i've ever seen.

That is pathetic, but Magabloks suck more. They both suck anyway.

I'unno, at least Megabloks and Legoes are compatible. That goes for my vote. Though price is abit annoying, I'd at least like to have valuable, modular pieces. For instance, the Gatlings on the Megabloks mare very excellent vehicle weapons, and they look a whole lot better than any lego gatling I've seen.

Then again, before Brikwars came out, Best-Lock had the best Minifig weapons. Their M-16's were pretty darn cool. THey've changed the weapon, but the old minifig M-16 still holds my heart. *sigh* I miss it..

Honestly, with all things weighed, I vote in favor of Megabloks. Gatlings are still cool.
