Yep. I've always loved how LEGO has such high precision standards. I once bought a LEGO set where the pieces fit together very poorly -- oh wait, no I didn't -- and realized it was MEGABloks, not LEGO. This was many years ago, so I can't speak as to MEGABloks quality today, but I put together a new LEGO kit recently and the fit/precision was still awesome.

LEGO's gone probably 20-30 years without letting me down in terms of physical quality of the pieces. I can't say that about any other vendor I've bought from over the same time period (not even Apple, for example). Well, not counting consumables like toothpaste. I've never had a bad experience with say Colgate.

Megablox was still utter rubbish as of about six months ago. My 8yo Lego fanatic son was given a kit by his cousins - "It's just like Lego" - err, no - many of the parts would not stay attached.
