![]() Mega Bloks figures are very different from LEGO’s little guys. In recent years there has been a lot of focus on minifigures due to demand by LEGO fans and collectors, which resulted in a greater variety of facial expressions, better quality and more detailed printing, and even a series of collectible minifigures. They also fit within the LEGO system with multiple attachment points. LEGO minifigures are all made up of the same, fully compatible body-parts, so you can mix and match them any way you like. Of course we are all familiar with LEGO minifigures they are cute and chubby with a yellow skin (except for the licenses minifigs). ![]() ![]() Mega Bloks post, I will compare the two brands in various categories so you might gain a better understanding of the similarities and differences. In addition I’m one of those people who are not afraid to mix the two brands for an extended building experience. I own both LEGO and Mega Bloks sets and have fairly extensive experience with both. Some of you may comment “LEGO is best and all other brands are evil rip-offs that should be burned!” – but hear me through before throwing stones bricks at me, and perhaps you will gain a different perspective. Mega Bloks have the rights for making Thomas the Tank Engine, Hello Kitty, Need for Speed, Halo, World of Warcraft, Barbie, Hot Wheels, Skylanders Giants, and Call of Duty sets. However Mega Blocks also has a niche for themselves by owning some unique licenses – something that LEGO fans may find interesting and venture to explore. They use the same studs-and-tubes design as LEGO, package their sets similarly, and their sole purpose seems to be to trick parents and kids into buying a Mega Blocks set instead of a LEGO one. Mega Bloks is a Canadian company, that is basically looked at as a LEGO rip-off and copycat by LEGO fans, with lower quality products and cheaper prices. Today I would like to address a subject that often comes up in comments but we haven’t fully explored in an article as of yet. ![]()
