Whenever I find a megablok in my lego box I get pliers and rip it’s life out!

I was just given a large box of Lego, fake-Lego, and random non-Lego stuff.

The [initial] sorting process has been going a few hours a day for the last couple of days as there is a TON of mega blok and brik pieces to sort out. (I’m a purist when it comes to Lego as well.)

At this point I have almost two grocery bags of “Nogos” as I like to call em, with at least half a bag more if the trend continues.

Then the Lego pieces get sorted for blatantly specialized stuff and stuff with animal faces on ‘em.

THEN I build.

Poor megabloks. I think they get a rough deal. Sure they’re not LEGO, but I’m all for fair competition in the market.

Okay folks, let’s not get political if we don’t need to. The reference to Canada was simply due to the fact that Mega Bloks is a Canadian company. ;-)

Ah, but all us Canadian folks can handle the cold now…

America never loses, we just change what our mission goals are.

And in the case of Iraq (Which I doubt even have MEGA Bloks, hehe) we no longer even have a mission so there is no way we could lose. :)

And frankly we didn’t lose to Canada, we got the warmer section. hehe

Jude,

America has conveniently forgotten about getting our butts handed to us by Canada. That’s not one they teach in school down here! And your comment made me LOL. Ha!

Regarding the long-term solution, the last time you took the Great White North on, it did not go so well for you. And most of your military otherwise engaged.

Then again, if you were to get our Walmarts to sell LEGO again, I might be willing to greet you as liberators.

I use Mega Blocks. They do this really nice 1×1 round piece with a handle on it which makes a great magifying glass to Sherlock Holmes.

Brrrrrr…. Megablock is evil

It’s a 1×1 tile that has a little point on it so you can fit a round 1x1x1 round piece to it. It’s nifty. I keep them away from real LEGOs. :)
