Subject: I came across this...

I came across this on Groupon and thought someone here might appreciate it.

Warning: Ages 8 and up ONLY! Don't want anyone here choking on the little pieces or anything. I know how you kids are.

And you can build your Mega Blocks while sitting in a nice comfy chair (thanks Leafie)!

Mega Blocks suck. It's too bad that Lego does not make Halo sets instead.

Don't judge a book by its cover, unless it has bacon on the cover, then it is a good book.

Megablocks are lego's retarded cousin

From what I've seen Lego sticks to making sets that are family-friendly related.

Be not afraid, for the forest nymphs have taught me how to pleasure a women.

So basically they're mega-blocks that look like Legos?

Huh...


Honestly if I was a kid I'd love it just cause of the color...but alas...lately I only groupon for things like Scuba Trips and Paint-a-ballin'.

MegaBlocks are functionally equivalent to LEGO bricks, so what's the problem?

Hmmm I thought Lego did make Halo sets or do they not?

They make Star Wars and LoTR which are no more "family friendly" than Halo.

They are terrible quality and do not fit together as well as Legos.

I should've added a Lego vs Mega Blocks poll apparently.

Redundant, as Lego would have won unanimously.

I am the God Emprah of Mankind.

Deal with it.

People are getting upset.

I understand that it's hard to accept that Megabloks became better than Lego. But after they got rid of Bionicles, and uh other stuff, it went downhill.

And honestly, Megabloks has always had the better figures.

What tool would buy one of those? Who wants to sit on the ground? You can get a nice computer chair for that price.

Halo CE- Amazing
Halo 2- Revolutionary
Halo 3- Masterpiece
Halo Reach- The Black Sheep of the bunch
Halo 4- Incredible

Did you know that 93% of all statistics on the internet are made up on the spot, and that 68% of readers believe them?

If this was Lego and I was ten still, I'd totally ask for that for Christmas. Thats pretty cool. Legos were, are, and always will be totally bad ass awesome toys. They build crucial brain cells and help mold critical thinking skills.

True, but they don't stick together as well as legos do which is probably due to Lego taking all of the good block designs with their original patent(s).

Isn't that about the age of the kids here? Jk... Well my brother is 25 and asked for Legos for Christmas so I just thought hey, you never know.

LEGO's patents have expired. MegaBlocks are quite literally the same products with different designs.
