It's even exactly the same, just instead of a rabbit our dog hunts a hare.

That was my first thought.

Mega Bloks Sucked royally when I was a kid. My son used his own allowance to buy the first small set of these, and well...

These things ROCK!!!

He has Star Wars Lego and Mega Bloks Dragons. Given a choice between the two I will take Mega Bloks any day!

Lego seems to have been targeting a different audience. It seems that the 'scenes', vehicles, etc are very realistic, they fall to pieces easily and seem to be meant to LOOK at, not PLAY with.

These friggin castles in Mega Blocks are tough as nails! Drop it, a piece might come off, that's it. The figures all have a metal plate inside them so that various things utilize magnets to play around with. Working Catapults, net throwers, and Ballistae just make it a riot!

A new series just came out too, adding orcs to the sets. Looks like I could make a whole Warcraft scene!

UnO - would you adopt me please.

Best part of having kids, I tell you!

I have an excuse to PLAY again... You know, a 27 yr old playing with blocks may be strange, but I am just being a good dad and playing with my kids.

Let's just say Santa had some fun setting up the castles on christmas eve last year.

Probably sooner

Oh, please. Try to PLAY with something made from legos, or rather try to let your 5 yr old PLAY with it. The Lego figures are better, but that's it. The creation of the vehicles and whatnot SUCK because of so many small peices.

take a look here: this boat would be 1-2 pieces for the hull, therefore the whole thing stays together better.

Lego would have likely made an intriquate network of little pieces needed for the same effect.

So whats your point you infidel?

Lego building blocks are getting away from being toys to play with and becomming toys to BUILD things and look at. More of a puzzle than a toy. That is my point.

I remember having one HELL of a time finding just a box of LEGOS to begin with. All they sell is sets. And those sets SUCK when you try to play with them because they tend to fall apart. Why do I need 75 pieces to build the little speeder bike for Count Dukou (or however you spell it)? And why the hell are some of those pieces held on by only ONE peg if it is truly meant to PLAY with? It's a puzzle, it's a collectors item, it's not a toy.

At least all the Star Wars ones my son has bought.

He has one 'Jack Stone' set my mom bought him that has been better than the Star Wars ones, but not as good as the Mega Bloks at staying together.

I wish Lego would just sell a bunch of the little GUYS and the weapons for them. I no longer want the rest of the 'set' just the guys, that's all my son is interested in because the things you build from the blocks fall apart.

One in particular comes to mind. A star wars set with the battle driods that can go into a ball in the movies.

My son saved up allowance for 2 months to buy this thing because he wanted the battle droids. They are only slightly bigger than a lego man figure, yet there are 30 pieces to make one of these. In 2 seperate places, the thing is held together by a single pin. Other places for the 'arms' are also held by a single pin which can ROTATE. You can't MOVE these things without it falling apart. It was a rip-off. It was a puzzle, not a toy.

Thank god for super glue.
