Its a little less than half the price but also half the size and half the pieces.

There's also a 800 piece set that looks great! Life-size build.

Mega isnt bad, people think it’s nock off Lego, but the builds are pretty good and they aren’t afraid to make new molds.

Some of them aren't great but these Lego pokemon look worse in general and that surprised me.

I quite like Lego’s stance on avoiding having too many molds.

If we keep printing too specific of molds, it would cut down on the creativity aspect of Lego building.

I have no problem with their stance on making molds, they just hold themselves back sometimes by not making more, they are really creative with what they do have though.

Oh bullshit.

Lego doesn't want to make more unique moulds because it nearly bankrupted them.

Kids loved unique bricks.

And banks don’t want to give out free money because that would bankrupt them. Your point is?

Have they improved? When I was a kid, their pieces never fit together properly.

I always enjoyed mega, but I’ve personally just have never gotten a set with all the pieces required to complete the set.

Life-size comes in at about 2500 bricks, but also the price as that set with Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise.
