Yeah, you go ahead and search for those on Amazon and see how much they're going for if they're even still in stock. Even Walmart is taken over by Toyb!z. Good luck finding the Hazmat one. Luckily I picked up two of them (Solo Mercenary and Arctic) at Dollar General, and I already have the Jungle Satcom.
But these knockoffs look like something you'd find in an urban rundown environment with graffiti. Again, unique. Not Military.

Mega Construx doesn't have a PubG license, and I doubt the offshore knockoffs do.
I don't care about the Pub license, whatever that is (Player Underground fortnite cr*p? Don't care). The figures look unique and cool. Again, I'd love to link or post pics. One guy has a black trench coat, hoodie, and red scarf. I'd have to buy 3 to 4 different sets to make that mic unless I paint, and painting comes out crappy on soft pliable rubber like the coat.
Look up the United Rebel Front for Halo and tell me those figures wouldn't be great. As it stands, I purchased Destiny, CoD sets just for that. Like the Mercenary vs set. Or the Future Warfare sets. But there's always MORE.

However, that being said, Mega Construx has begun making block boxes, filled with a large variety of different blocks.
Yes, I know, and it's a great thing. Colors are limited though. I've already purchased the Camo Invention, 4 Tropical Invention, 2 Aquatic Inventions. But I only have so much money at a given time. And with Mega, before you know it, they're gone.
But then there's pick-a-brick from someone else. Always available, wide variety, various colors and parts, and only buying what you need.

That being said, distribution is still an issue, you are right there. But there's more here than you think, so don't be giving up hope on Mega Construx quite yet! :)
I never said I'm giving up hope. I'm losing hope, but not giving up. The news about generalized Probuilder sets in another thread is extremely good news.
But then you have issues like Amazon pushing back preorders of MCx Heroes Series 5 indefinitely while Toybiz has stock and is running out at double the price. I don't live next to a Mejiers or an Ollie's or a Krogers where they're readily available.
But I'm not going to limit my buying simply because it's not 'official', though I haven't bought any yet other than this L knockoff black swat helicopter that had a black halo falcon canopy. Try finding anywhere nowadays. Even a ONI Quadwalker with the canopy is 50-60 and I'd still have to paint it.
