Mega blox construx vs Lego?

[OnAPar]

Hi, I’ve seen a mega blox construx set my daughter would love(&so much cheaper!), do they mix well with Lego’s?

Not in my experience, no. Megablox are more cheaply made and don't always fit right.

Oh how frustrating, they look great! 😩 Thank you for letting me know!

Some sets are good but their instructions a bit more bafflling than Lego ones. I have several Minion sets and I did find that the red bricks (one is mostly red) had a lot of variation in the red colour. The bricks are often a bit harder to click together than Lego. In general - they are fine if you want a specific theme. Mega Construx I find are more expensive for the amount of what you get compared to Lego but this is because it's mostly licenced character sets (Minion, Pokémon etc) - you are paying for the licence. Tkmaxx is good for getting Mega Construx bargains.
They are compatible with Lego although true Lego fans never let the two mix

@bookmum08 Thank you! That’s really helpful. Are they a lot harder to click together, does your DC manage it? Good to hear they’re compatible! Haha, I’m sure we’d make a few Lego fans unhappy, we mix the sets too! 🤣 I’m looking at a monster high set, so would stick to one theme but realistically it will end up in with the Lego and she’ll want to tinker with it with other Lego pieces etc, so need it all to work together. Although we might get different mega themes in the future, is there some differences between different themes? Very tempted to order! I’ll definitely pop into TX Maxx when I next venture into town.

I'm the Lego builder in my house . To be honest there has been a few times when my Mega bricks have got muddled up with the Lego and I haven't noticed. My various Minions have been known to pop over and hang out with the Lego Minifigs from time to time.
