Please don't be horrified, but I have owned 6 Mega Bloks sets in my life!

Now don't get me wrong, in general I'm no fan of Mega Bloks, and I don't like the inferior plastic quality. I will say though that I never experienced bleeding hands. I might have had sore hands after building those sets, but that happens to me also with Lego.

After some years, I gave away two of the sets, and only kept the Marvel action figures.

I didn't like to get Mega Bloks instead of Lego as a kid. Some relatives once bought some for me, and those are the ones that I ended up giving away!

well obviously I'm not going to stop them. I can't really see why anyone would. That's approaching Westboro Baptist church level of behaviour to be honest. You will be happy to know that despite Oxford being of exceptional quality, about a month ago I was in the store, and a Korean couple was looking for a set for their (I assume nephew), and when the husband first pointed at the Oxford the wife the pointed at the logo and said "That's not Lego".

It's odd because Koreans are usually very nationalistic when it comes to a lot of kinds of product buying.

I'd never buy any of the chinese stuff for a kid though. Occasionally I pick one up to see how the other half lives, and it's never been good. Enlighten has poor design, sluban has crappy quality, and ligao and kazi stink to high heavens.
