Full disclosure: Lego also has a close relationship to the MIT Media Lab, where Lego Logo and the Lego Computer Brick were developed.

the only saving grace is that its not made of those shitty tyco blocks. obviously the builder has some serious cash reserves.

Not any more, they went bankrupt a year or two after they bought that statue. (it was a work for hire) And most LEGO fans consider Tyco the "best" of the clones, better than Megabloks.

MegaBloks were decent. They added a nice range of color. The only problem I ever had with them were that the thinner plate pieces were always bent out of shape.
