World of Warcraft: The War Within Alpha - New Creature Models
MMO-Champion
To be honest I'd have preferred it if Blizzard went down the LEGO route, or even had proper action figures made as opposed to some weird "Trying to be a construction toy and action figure at the same time whilst achieving neither" thing Mega Bloks seem to have a thing for.
Also; worth watching the video just for the ending.

And now I'm glad I never bought any WoW Mega Bloks sets.

Heh. They're really more like action figures than Legos. I have the gryphon and it is pretty nice for what it is...if a bit small for the price. :P

I actually have the Night Elf druid one, because it was something like $5 NZD and I was like "Sure, why not!" While yeah, I agree, it's not anything overly flash, it makes a nice wee decorative thing on my shelf up there.
Also, Alliance are the good guys, Ashens said it so it must be true. *cough*

Oh my, that ending is amazing, I just consider them to be decoration and not much else.

I remember when I was a kid and had tons of LEGOS. I remember also seeing Mega Bloks, which I think may have been called something different then, and thinking "who would want this crap?" They aren't creative building toys. They're shitty figurines.

That badboy will always be in my memory, I lost the chain and it hasn't been the same. RIP in peace, LEGO chopper bike."Why do all supposed 'centrists' just sound like right wingers?"

2013-07-11, 08:49 PM #11DeletedEh, MB just don't seem to pull off being action figures either owing to their limited movement and giant clunky pieces (And rather low quality printing as pointed out in the vid), at least imo.

The mounts seem kinda cute, and the zeppelin that I've seen somewhere online looks cool (do they even have an Alliance ship?), if you wanna spend that kind of money. The rest.. meh. I'd rather a custom option to make it your own character.

I thought it was common knowledge that Mega Bloks were awful. I'd rather have a knock-off brand of imitation lego than mega bloks.

Meh Too Long Didnt Watch version:
I don't know what WoW is
I'm a typical guy with an accent that makes people think the stuff I say is clever because it sounds foreign to them
I'm gonna burn this toy because that's "funny"

Not at all, I didn't get the impression like he was dissing WoW, more that he was dissing mega bloks. He sounded like he was just having a bit of a laugh whilst reviewing them. Originally Posted by Hurwyn

I thought the Gryphon was cute, but yeah as a construction toy, there doesn't seem to be much about it that you could construct.
The ending was hilarious

I never got why they went with megablocks rather than LEGO either.
Megablocks just looks cheap, awful and is overall not impressive. It's like they didn't even try.
And that Blizzard is OK with the megablocks design and quality is rather surprising for a company that is known for great quality, take their time and so on.
Ending was worth the video though!
