This poll (and the whole tournament, really) is meant to determine what Toyark thinks is the greatest 80's toy line.

As for which was better, Legos certainly had that customization and "fueled by imagination" thing going for it (which it still does), but the sets back then weren't nearly as impressive as the stuff they're putting out today. Remember, in the 80's, Lego didn't really have any licensed properties tied to their sets. There were no Star Wars, LOTR, Marvel/Avengers, or DCU sets. They didn't have Bionicle or any sequels/spin-offs of it, either.
