>>5873340The brick quality of MB is still pretty shitty, though. And the builds of the sets are hit or miss, I find. They're definitely better than the used to be, and they're probably only second (though a distant second) to LEGO. Though, even 3rd-place is very far from reaching MB quality.
The real draw for MB is the unique minis, really. Most people even here will admit that. No one really does highly articulate minifigures, as most brick toys use minis that are derivative of LEGO.
LEGO refuses to do anything war-related, and won't even really make any guns, unless they're like fantastical space lazer guns, or antique guns like old west revolves and imperial-era muskets and flintlocks and stuff. But they're never do something like handguns, or assault rifles, or anything like that.
MB fills that niche perfectly, and I don't think I would even want LEGO to attempt it. MB is kind of the go-to for FPS fans since their man draws are things like Halo, CoD, and now Destiny. The detail they're able to put into these tiny figures and accessories are amazing, and they seem to only get better year after year.
That said, while I think LEGO's quality is (overall) head and shoulders over competitors, most people aren't really coming to MB for the actual bricks, but rather the kickass figures and some of the cool vehicles and stuff.
