Mega Bloks
Best known for: Sets based on Call of Duty, Halo, Star Trek, Destiny, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, SpongeBob SquarePants, Despicable Me and Monster High IPs.
Brick Quality: OK - with many specialised pieces for particular models. Lots of unique colours not found in Lego parts.
Instruction Quality: Quite good.
Other Info: Mega Brands (formerly Mega Bloks - which is now only used for brick toys) are a Canadian company, owned by Mattel.
In Australia, sold through Toys R Us, Mr Toys Toyworld, BigW, Target, Myer, and other retailers. Larger sets are more likely to be found in specialist toy shops, rather than department stores. Unfortunately, Mattel Australia seems disinclined to import the "Collectors" sets such as the Star Trek Enterprise, so you'll probably need to look overseas.
