Shadows Posted April 4, 2010 Posted April 4, 2010 Thanks for the praising title, as well, Shadows. You earned it. Quote
AwesomeStar Posted April 4, 2010 Posted April 4, 2010 To be serious though, it's not like I haven't thought about it. I mean, Jim, you did actually make some very good points. Over the past few years, Lego's set design, quality control and overall slacking attitude towards producing their product has gone down a bit. Mega Brands, however, have upped their designs, quality of bricks and themselves as a company. Their Halo products are incredibly accurate and fun to play with. So while I am most certainly a Lego lover and forever will be, I'm certainly going to purchase the Mega Brands Halo sets. But after they have been discontinued, I will return fully to Lego. Good joke, though ~A.S. Quote
allanp Posted April 4, 2010 Posted April 4, 2010 But their is no megatechnic! Their plastic would never be good enough quality for that anyway. Lego all the way! Quote
lightningtiger Posted April 4, 2010 Posted April 4, 2010 Megablocks ......it's the devil's work ! The only other thing I can say now is.............Long Live LEGO !!!! I'm a conformist! ! Quote
def Posted April 4, 2010 Posted April 4, 2010 So yeah, it was an April Fool's joke, to anyone who was fooled. I didn't expect much to come out of this, but I did get a few laughs from those who thought I was serious. But I was all ready to be a head admin at Euroblox I spent the weekend making a banner for you... The pain... the regret... the sorrow... Quote
General Redwater Posted April 4, 2010 Posted April 4, 2010 Is it safe to say that April Fool's Day is over in all parts of the world now? I think so. So yeah, it was an April Fool's joke, to anyone who was fooled. I didn't expect much to come out of this, but I did get a few laughs from those who thought I was serious. Thanks for the praising title, as well, Shadows. Until next year, then. I knew it! Great joke, I think you had many people fooled. Quote

ziljin Posted April 5, 2010 Posted April 5, 2010 They they even make small megablocks sets anymore? It seems like all of their sets are duplo sized. Unless I did not look carefully on their website. Quote

Unless I did not look carefully on their website. I'm pretty sure they do, but they do change the sgifinim,(evil opposite of minifigs) I got a spiderman one a long time ago, and it had what I think of as normal MB fig, similar to minifigs but with rounded corners and super detailed heads. But before even that, I had a skate park with arms that had poseability of a minifig but it could move it's arms a little bit outwards, and it's head had a pole that went into the torso. Now I'm seeing lots of random ones, one of my freinds has one with a hole in it's back to put a stick in(for fighting). Quote
brickme Posted April 5, 2010 Posted April 5, 2010 I knew it was a joke. From the quote "There aren't too many belville and bob the builder sets." I knew immediately after that. You didn't have me fooled. You'll have to do better than that. Quote

dr_spock Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 There's always next year to try again to build a Megablox website and community base. Quote
larry marak Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 There's always next year to try again to build a Megablox website and community base. No need to wait till next year. The Blocks Forum is quite well established, with set listings, parts catalogs, extensive MCAD renderings of exclusive Megabloks parts, and an international fan base. Quite a few Eurobricks members enjoy dual citizenship a s Bloks members. There is also an ask Mega column with direct access to the company. Quote
larry marak Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 By the way, the big stir over at the Megoblox forum is the Dragon Universe series, to be released shortly. Dragons meets Halo from the looks of it. Does to Dragons what Warhammer 40K did to Warhammer (tho IIRC 40K came first). Incredible new parts and weapons coming up. Quote

AwesomeStar Posted April 13, 2010 Posted April 13, 2010 I am also a member, but more for the browsing than the posting. Yeah, I've had a look on there once or twice to see what their people think of the new Halo sets and if there wa a solution to "popping" parts. Which there isn't, so I just replaced all I could with Lego. Do you ever get the feeling that Eurobricks and the MB forum is sort of like, I don't know, the Berlin wall? You've got West Berlin (Lego) and then East Berlin (Mega Brands). Just a thought, but it seems that way. I mean, it's almost like we're not allowed to go over the metaphorical wall (with chain guns). Then, there is a few little rebels like Peppermint M (hi! ) and myself, who kind of get a big.. bulldozer and.. Yeah. I don't know where I'm going with this anymore. Sorry. ~A.S. Quote
