Mega Bloks And Mega Construx are two different brands under the company Mega (who are owned by Mattel). They made Construx to break away from being just an early age toys company and instead be a more direct competitor to Lego, in the way it is more of an all ages hobbiest thing.

U.S. toy maker Mattel Inc. is closing its Mega Bloks factory in Montreal’s St-Laurent suburb in a move that will result in job losses for some 580 employees. At the time, that segment of the toy sector was estimated to be a US$4-billion market for the United States and Europe alone.

Year 1. 2009 was Mega Bloks Halo’s first year. This page is a list of sets that came in 2009..

Perhaps the whole name change is part of a larger plan as Mattel is shifting around their toy categories. (Mattel has their own toy lines, and they acquired Mega Bloks in 2014.) While the older sets still on shelves will have the Mega Bloks logo, the 2017 sets will be named Mega Construx. But they are all the same.

For children 2 -5 years I think the Lego Duplo bricks are better. Since the bricks fit together tighter than the Mega Bloks, they work better for most preschool-age builders. Once kids reach the stage of wanting to build things other than towers I would recommend getting the Lego Duplo Blocks.

Standard Lego bricks are significantly smaller than standard Megabloks bricks. However, Megablocks micro bricks are compatible with Lego. Lego bricks are also considered more durable and higher quality.

So mega Bloks can be placed on top of DUPLO baseboard or DUPLO Bloks. However , DUPLO Bloks will NOT fit onto mega Bloks. So. If you have both sets the answer is yes, you can use them together.

Lego itself originally copied their bricks from British psychologist and inventor Hilary Page in the late 1940s. The Canadian company Mega Bloks was sued on the grounds that its use of the “studs and tubes” interlocking brick system was a violation of trademarks held by Lego.

Having said that, you can find some interesting small pieces in Mega Bloks sets that LEGO doesn’t make. The quality of the pieces however is not nearly as good as LEGO. Even in the Collectors line, it is only the figures that are high quality. Their size tolerance is also much worse than LEGO.

Lego and Mega Blocks are two brand names of construction-type toys as well as minifigures. The main difference between both toys is the company that produces them. Lego is produced by the Lego Group, a private company in Denmark while Mega Blocks is produced by Mega Brands, a public company based in Canada.

Is there something like Bricklink but for Mega Construx, or am I just not searching Bricklink right? As far as I know, bricklink only supports lego. If you don’t know yet, mega construx has a request center that you can use.

Mega Brands uses ABS for the small Mega Bloks compatible with Lego blocks and high density polyethylene for its larger blocks aimed at toddlers.

Although Mega Bloks claim that their toys are safe and are non-toxic, many parents are still uncertain about giving Mega Bloks toys to their kids. One reason is that their toys may still contain some traces of PVC. Since they passed the toy safety standards, it would be safe to say that it will not harm your kids.

Legos are generally compatible with Mega Construx and Mega Bloks. However, the Mega brand tends to make lower quality (or less consistent) bricks. When using Mega Construx with Legos, you will sometimes find pieces that don’t fit quite right, because of small differences in the size, shape, or quality.

Mattel is moving the manufacturing operations of its Mega Bloks brand from Canada to its facilities in Mexico and China in a move that will see it shrink its Montreal facility. The Mega Bloks operation will begin the migration from September this year.

LEGO collaborates with highly popular brands like Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Winnie the Pooh, Toy Story, Harry Potter, and Marvel, which means high licensing fees. Although licensing fees may form part of the cost the end consumer pays for their LEGO set, most costs come from the number of pieces in a set.
