Most of us are converted. If you look at it, Mega isn't that old, 2 dozen years max, compared to their biggest competitor, L3go with about 80 years.vsg001 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 11, 2018 5:19 pmI'm a converted Leg@ fan.

Combine that with nostalgia feels from playing Halo, a great value for the money and I was easily won over.

You are probably 100% correct. On both accounts. The blue series was exsclusively over seas. As to being converted over, that me. I was a die hard Iego star wars fan. I swapped to mega because at the time of getting my first figs via a trade with a mate. He was calling them Halo Iego figures. Went in the store to buy a set and spent 3 minutes scouing the Iego ieal for them to find them in the next one over under mega bloks. I said why not and picked a few up. That arctic rocket hog set with the ghost was just pure *** Tier value. Man i remeber thouse days so foundly. When all of like 8 human figs between 3 colors were charished wile a mear 4 covis had to fight them off. Heck i still have most of my series 1 elites in good condition. funny thing is you can tell the differense between them and there later counter parts due to the plastic. The orginal they started out with was glossier with them shortly after swapping to a matt.Survivor11 wrote: ↑Mon Oct 29, 2018 4:52 pmMost of us are converted.

Yeah, same story. Iron Man sets got me into Mega alongside Halo, and then CoD and now i have a few hundred figs.TheRealBoo101 wrote: ↑Thu Jun 07, 2018 8:28 amI was a major [competitor] fan, I'll I asked for gifts was that, now I have at least 1000+ bricks from them, my first time with mega bloks was the Iron man one figure sets at my local Walgreens, what got me into mega was the WoW line, and Call of Duty line.
