Plastic Nurak Posted June 10, 2010 (edited) I knew that PB line is by many considered the gem of Megabrands Megabloks building toy. I had seen in my town Toys Center a 3265 Supersonic GT and, I confess, I was curious about this apparently cool model. So, back in home, I did search in MB site 3265 building instructions, before I went -insanely- to buy it, and... disappointed . Too many <insert that tiresome argument> parts, too many brick on brick construction. Old Hobby Sets, with their old fashioned look, are more interesting from a building point of view than those "cool" PB sets . So, I've not ran the risk of megablokizing me, thanks to... MB site . Lego is ever the best, death to clones and shame on Merdabloks. Edited June 10, 2010 by Plastic Nurak Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Cam Posted June 10, 2010 In my brief experience with MB, that's what you get. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plastic Nurak Posted June 13, 2010 Buy some Struxx instead. Seriously awesome stuff. Very interesting. Thanks for the info. But I guess these sest aren't available in Italy or, at least, in NW Sardinia stores . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peppermint_M Posted June 13, 2010 Some non Lego sets are really quite useful. I tend to avoid the Pro Builder sets due to thier price and subjects, not really my kind of thing, but the Dragons sets have great accessories. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Plastic Nurak Posted June 16, 2010 I tend to avoid the Pro Builder sets due to thier price I'm in mistake, or MB was cheapest than Lego ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peppermint_M Posted June 16, 2010 Far from cheapest. It is cheaper, but the ProBuilder sets cover a theme and scale I am not interested in. Just like Lego, I only buy sets of a theme I enjoy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eilif Posted June 16, 2010 Probuilder is a shadow of it's former self. Probuilder used to be the place to go to build huge brick-built models with few <insert that tiresome argument> parts. 1200 piece Warships, 2400 piece submarines (I have this one), huge cars, etc. Now, more <insert that tiresome argument> parts have crept in, and you've got to be more selective. I own two Megabloks sets, both Probuilder. My 2400 piece "Sea Wolf" sub is a good example of a non-<insert that tiresome argument> kit. I also have the steam express, which, though mostly brickbuilt with over 1200 pieces, does have 8 large <insert that tiresome argument> parts that make up the boiler. It's a good example of the transition that happened over time. These days it pays to look really closely to see what you're getting, as "Pro-Builder" is not necessarily synonymous with Brickbuilt anymore. , too many brick on brick construction. Out of curiosity, what do you mean by this. If you mean lots of basic bricks, then I would avoid probuilder. Probuilder models have always had alot of classic style brick construction in them.

Far from cheapest. I'm wrong, I used superlative in the place of relative . Edited June 17, 2010 by Plastic Nurak Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
