::The problem with the big peices, however, is that it really cuts down on creativity. Lego has lots of small and varied peices that can make billions of wonderful things, but mega blocks just have big peices that you can only really use to make the set they're a part of. They're not so much building block as toys that don't come pre-assembled. I can also safely say that legos fit together easier. I mean, it the banshee set, for me there was like an ''8x8'' plate i was trying to attach to an area about the size of itself, but the friction fit backfired and about half the block wasn't ever able to fully connect. with legos, you don't encounter that until you're trying to attach something like, 20 blocks in length. I hold that legos are superior to mega blocks, and you'd have to have some good points otherwise to change my mind.

:::Very well, then. I will drop this conversation before things really get out of hand.

::::I didn't watch all of it, but just about all of those could be made with legos I'd say. I will admit that with some of the weapons, you'd have to get rather creative, but still. Anyway, RETALIATION!: [http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDB5E9DAEA20E2A41&feature=plcp Nick Bricks Halo Guns] (I'll admit, the higher level of detail can largely be attributed to the bigger scale of the builds)
::::In the interests of shutting this discussion down early, I think I'll try to make a peace offering. Can we say that Mega Blocks tends to have more detail in its sets, due to using specialized peices, even if their friction fit is kinda derpy; but lego has more possibilities in free build due to using smaller more versatile pieces?
