A friend of mine was confused as to how they continue to sell so well without the patents and I told him to try to build with MegaBlox. The knock offs are terrible and barely hold together. I can still build with 30+ year-old Lego pieces.

That reminds me of the guy who built a machine to stress test the bricks to see how many cycles it would take to wear it out:

In my family Lego is something passed down to the parents kids as it just doesn't die.
