Completely agreed.

However, my mom did buy me a couple Megablock sets when I was little, and the quality in them was godaweful. They wouldn't hold together if you glued them.
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.
I don't know about the quality of their regular sets (like I said, I don't own any myself), but I do know about their minifigs and Bionicle-style builds. I can say from personal experience that those sets are just as good as Lego - better, when it comes to their minifigs.
I also own several Kre-O sets and IMHO they are just as good as any Lego set. And Kreons kick all kinds of Lego minifig ass.

Oh, I agree as far as the superiority of the design and this guy's skill level is off-the-charts. But Lego has brick-building fans on their staff too, and I've never seen Lego attempt something like this, at least nothing official. I'm also kind of surprised Lego didn't try partnering with Hasbro a long time ago.
Or maybe they did and Hasbro said "STFU & GTFO cuz we haz BTR, bitch. Iz gunna b HUGE!"

I mean to be honest I've seen way better MoC builds than actual Lego sets. Now I have bought KreO sets in the past and I dig them I just wish they could actually transform and were better.
I really like my sets too, but I'm ok with them not transforming since they weren't designed for that play pattern. Why sell a Transformers building block set that is fully transformable when there are already real Transformers being made? It was was the same logical fallacy that caused BTR to fail miserably.
Rather than looking at them as Transformers that don't transform, look at them as building block sets with a Transformers theme just like the Harry Potter or Star Wars Lego sets. Especially since there are other non-TF themed Kre-O sets coming out in the future.
