For this reason, all the Megablock vehicles and benches and whatnot have flat bottoms on the part where the characters sit.
Are there any good Mega Bloks to buy?
Mega Bloks are a good product in their own right, and for fans of the franchises for which they have licenses, there is plenty to like. So, in general, I’d say this about Mega Bloks/Construx as they are today – don’t hesitate to buy one of their sets if it looks like something you’d like.
