Maybe the Megablock quality has changed since (I mean, that was 20+ years ago), but I wouldn't waist my money on them. And that may be the origin of the trope, Adults now who remember Megablocks being terrible.

This is true, for megablocks at least. Their bricks came freakin' bent! Who does that? Megablocks apparently. They had some cool kits back when they came out, but they held together like an adobe hut made outta spit. Seriously, they're like the bastard child of the building block world. Started out life as a dimestore bargain bin ripoff of lego, and to my knowledge, still are. I've heard their mini figures are okay though.
