What isi better - mega blocks mini or micro blocks or lego?

[goingbacktowork]

My son is 3 and the traditional mega bloks are not really exciting enough for him anymore and they come apart too easily. What is better the Megabloks mini or micro blocks or lego? We won't be doing any exotic kits at the moment. Are the mini ones the one that compare with lego? I know that the mini and micro ones are currently on offer in certain places but I am happy to buy lego if it is superior. Many thanks

Normal lego beats hands down from my experience. My boy loves it. Also, normal lego can be a 'keeper' for the grandchildren, so i see it as an investment, as it is expensive! It's the only toy that i know will be played with constantly for years and will last. Brilliant stuff.

There is a reason that Lego is a brand that has lasted more than 50 years...all the rest are just pretenders. Even if you buy Mega blocks etc you will always come back to Lego :)

You can't beat Lego. It clunks better.

Micro mega bloks is on offer in Argos.

Lego every time.

Lego, the others don't always go together properly. Lego is far better.

Duplo then lego. And yes, it will last for years and can be a stock response to "what shall I get him for Christmas?"

You can't really have too much lego.

NotShort Do you mean mega and micro blocks don't go together proplery with duplo and lego or do you mean mega and micro blocks don't go together properly with other mega and micro blocks?

The mega micro blocks just do not fit together properly with other mega micro blocks so that anything you make quickly falls apart, or when you try to add another brick on then then it either won't 'stick' or you/your child tries to press so hard that the whole thing falls into pieces. They are crap, lego everytime. You can generally get a bag of random lego pieces on ebay for a reasonable price.

(flaming bloody) lego.

My ds is 3 and obsessed

LostGirl What about the mega mini blocks? (The Duplo sized ones)

lego is much much better

Don't have any experience with the duplo size mega ones I'm afraid.

Agree regarding the value. It you keep the instruction books and try not to lose the special pieces, then it holds it's value very well.

My children play with 30 year old lego and it is still great.

Lego every time

Lego.

BUT... I have to say that Megablocks seems to have improved in quality. Years ago it was a bit crap and the bricks didn't stay together properly.

And Lego don't do Halo!

megablocks just feel crap.

Lego is much more satisfying. It's to do with the density of the plastic I think.

I've bought Smurf mmegomicro blocks, but the chidlren haven't played with them yet. The quality is better but not as good as lego

Lego.

Can't beat it.

I love the stuff almost as much as the ds'

LostGirl How recently did you have the mega micro bloks?

I didn't thank god but was babysitting for children who had them and we spent a very frustrating evening trying to build things. Was probably a couple of months ago.

lego definitely

Don't know how long they had had them for though. I know they recently had the Halo products which their mum regretted buying as unless you actually stuck them together with glue then the models would not stay together.
