Unless you could make me a Mech suit out of Meccano, I'm not interested.[/quote'] That isn't a model intended to look good, it's supposed to be functional (most Meccano models at least partly follow this trend, but there are some sweet-looking ones too). Contrary to the world you happen to be in, things can have attributes other than their looks. You would want to built it because it's an awesome piece of engineering rather than something that you'll look at for 30 seconds each day and then forget about until you see it again.

Felix Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Quality no, but I'm pretty sure it shows popularity. It's just out right more fun; why build some kind of scientific transistor contraption when you can build a funky lookin' robot or space ship, AND THEN put a little lego man in it. Even Mega Blocks are more fun than Meccano and they're just a cheap knock off of Lego. I think what we have to keep in mind is that they're really for different target markets.

But I suppose more effort = better reward. Additional note: Damnit, I wish you could pose the little lego man's arms better. (>_<) Also, don't bring mega blocks into this. Seriously. Mega blocks are as bad as Duplo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enrise Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 I've never even heard of Meccano. For that reason Lego. The fact that it is so much more mainstream just shows how much better it most likely is. And Lego is better for fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axel Bind Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 Lego is better. Is there such thing is Meccano Land? No there is not. Try and make this out of Meccano. Try and make this out of lego.[spoiler=Differential Analyser] that looks more like a pig's but can you make this out of maccano if you did it would look like this.
