Pojntless Poll #1: Megablocks v. Legos

[Aloysius]

Which one did you grow up with/do you prefer?

[leftace53]

Legos. I played with megablocks until maybe like the age of 5. There is only so much you do with a block the size of your head.

[Widerstand]

Lego is more progressive!

Lego wins hands down.

[ContrarianLemming]

I find it funny how americans call it "legos". it's lego! both singular and plural!

I loved lego, awesome stuff, always made spaceships.

[Jazzhands]

Lego wars with my bro when I was a kid. He made a nuclear submarine. not a nuclear-powered sub, a sub with fucking nukes on it. good times. also, digging the poll results.:lol:

[Quail]

I never had any megablocks. Before I was old enough for lego I had that duplo stuff :lol:

Same here, which is basically oversized lego.

[BuddhaInBabylon]

that lego red star is fucking awesome.

[fa2991]

How am I the only one who voted MegaBlocks? :confused:

Those were awesome. They were big and sturdy enough that you could build forts and chairs and swords out of them. Ever try hitting someone with a Lego sword? That shit would just fall apart.

I love legos as a kid.

They weren't small enough to get down details in the same way as legos. thanks for ruining the perfect streak though:mad:

[Stand Your Ground]

Lego had better stuff, always made cars and shit.

[GPDP]

Lego was THE SHIT. I used to get fuckawesome sets, build them, then eventually take them apart and mix all the pieces in a big tub along with all my friends' Lego pieces. Thus, by pooling all our pieces together, we had a huge-ass selection of pieces, and we would build spaceships and would roleplay with recurring characters about epic fights between good and evil and oh god the run-ons keep going thanks for bringing my inner child out again.

[DecDoom]

I had Lego, but before that I had Duplo blocks. I would make a pistol, and then carry a bunch of smaller blocks, and when I wanted to "shoot" something, I'd aim at it with the pistol in one hand, and throw a block at it with the other.

In retrospect, it seems kind of stupid, but it was a lot of fun in my 4-year-old mind. :)

[Aloysius]

You're very welcome, sir.
Lego Star Wars is the shit. Definitely the coolest sets...I got a TIE Interceptor for Christmas and I put it together in 30 minutes. I want Darth Vader's Tie fighter...
I've always had Lego. They are an integral part of my life. I remember walking my dog with my brother down an alley and we found a giant treasure trove of Lego. There were pirates, cowboys, Harry Potter shit...'Twas twuly awesome.
And those working Lego guns? Mind: blown.

[leftace53]

I wonder what "Pojntless Poll #2" will be.

[Rusty Shackleford]

fuck megablocks. i had a megablock set and it sucked. stupid wonky ass dimensions.


LEGO ARE THE REVOLUTIONARY PLASTIC BUILDING BLOCK!

This shows how truly geeky I am.

I think #2 will concern what #3 should be.

Meh, who cares about detail? If I wanted a little car I would've played with a little car, not blocks. Blocks are for building bigger, more awesome stuff than the toys you already have. Plus Lego are totally a choking hazard. :p

[Lyev]

fuck that reactionary megablocks bullshit, lego is much better although made by megablocks is this cool dragon thing

i voted lego, found this pic, then regretted it :(

[Aloysius]

i totally got that very playset for my birthday one year!
I couldn't finish it 'cause half the fucking pieces were missing. Actually, it was only one, but it was one I really needed. Those dragons are pretty *ahem* beastly.

[the last donut of the night]

legos were and still are much better than megablox.

Lego will destroy megacocks.

pojntless?:confused: if you mean pointless it would be like #54146489423

[Tablo]

Lego. megablocks were cheaper in quality and didn't fit together well. (I'm talking about the smaller megablocks that were like knockoff legos.)

[leftace53]

pojntless?:confused: if you mean pointless it would be like #54146489423
But it is the first pojntless right? I'm sure it was on purpose.

I fucking loved megablocks dragons when I was kid. I still have a 42x60x25cm toybox overfilled with the shit. Although it's covered with spiderwebs nowadays.

I use legos in lieu of grid papers and figures for D20 and Shadowrun games.

Dude is that your stuff? I've seen that on Brickshelf before.

Though I have a tacklebox full of D&D miniatures, I've done that as well. There's also a wargame designed specifically for Lego: http://www.brikwars.com/

[Aloysius]

No, it's just amazing.

[Aloysius]

Pointless Poll #2 will be up soon.
Just sayin'.

[leftace53]

Pointless Poll #2 will be up soon.
Just sayin'.
I look forward to this.
Edit: I hope you mean "Pojntless Poll #2"

[Rusty Shackleford]

Oh, America.
you have to admit. those are DAMN GOOD lego creations.

[Widerstand]

Why not use Lego for something more revolutionary?

Fuck me, I just realised I spelled "pointless" wrong...
But yeah, let's go with that.

zomg omg omg that was awesome.

i really wanted to have those pieces for my lego collection when i was younger. i fucking loved robotics.

[Bad Grrrl Agro]

Legos!!!

[Dimentio]

LEGO is winning all the time.

The guy who created the first LEGO toys was quite popular in his (small) hometown. He built a sports facility and gave jobs to people in his home district, even if he could have got cheaper labour by establishing the factory in a bigger town.
