OK, I did the unthinkable and bought some Mega Bloks products recently--specifically, I got a couple of the Minions blind packs for my daughter. (I'd call it a shameless ripoff of CMFs, but more and more companies are selling blind packs of toys lately, so I don't have much room to complain.) I actually think they're not bad, and they strike a decent balance between being "bricky" and resembling their movie counterparts. One complaint--these may have some manufacturing defects. I got the Egyptian Minion today and one of his arm holes was NOT set deep enough to get his arm in. I got my Dremel Tool and made the hole deeper, so it works fine now. But watch out for this problem. Anyway, has anyone done a "feel guide" for these things? They're considerably harder to feel for than Lego's CMFs, because they have a lot of loose parts floating in the package (arms, legs, and a big 2x4 brick which really throws off your manipulation). There's a "rare" Bob figure I'm trying to find and I'm not sure how frequent he is or how you can really tell it's him. Any tips?

According to the BBC ( http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-35496381 ) and other news channels, Mega Bloks' owners Mattel are in merger talks with Kre-o's owners Hasbro. Would a single Mattel-Hasbro be bad news for TLG? Mega Bloks has always made low quality products while Kre-o has been pretty decent quality but badly designed (have you seen their minifigures?). Together, they could be OK quality and design and therefore more of a threat to TLG. What do you think? Apologies if this should have been in the Community forum. As it concerns TLG, I thought that it would be alright in General. Please move it if it isn't.

Hello, I know it may seem strange to post this on here, however I have had so much trouble researching if there is a Mega Bloks marketplace? Or a pick a brick Mega Bloks place? I am a huge LEGO fanatic, but I recently wanted to build a Mega Bloks Scarab based on the one seen at the toy fair, so I was wondering if anyone knows any information, or is my only hope ebay? Thank you.

I know, I know, both pale in comparison to our beloved Lego! Let's just say Lego didn't exist (*gasp*) and you had to pick one of these two brands. Which would you go with and why?

The thread title says it all. Which do you find worse, and why? EDIT: Can a mod fix the title?
