Mega Bloks 10703- Lazy Smurf

Thoughts: The paint job is okay but not great. The mini-figure is articulated on legs, waist, shoulders, and wrists but not on the neck. A bit pricey if you ask me. My plan is to buy it when it goes on sale. However, it's kind of hard to find on shelves.

Mega Bloks Hello Kitty Sets - Birthday (10814) and Pastry Chef (10811)

I was looking for Lego sets for my daughter when I saw this Hello Kitty sets from Mega Bloks. We all know that: (1) Lego is primarily for boys, (2) Mega Bloks is not as good as Lego, and (3) Hello Kitty is ultra cute. If you agree on all these statements, then continue reading.

The price tag for these 7-piece sets is C$4.99, and these are the smallest among the Hello Kitty sets. Lucky me, they're on sale at Toys R Us this week - Buy One, Get One Free!

These Mega Bloks sets are compatible with Lego. I don't expect so much from these sets with regards to quality. The paint job alone is not that good. But I guess Mega Bloks is one step ahead here in terms of theme (They also have Smurfs!). Definitely cute. Buy them when they go on sale.
