So I went to Subway Sandwiches today and noticed that the kids meal toy for toddlers under 3 were Mega Bloks. Mega Blocks are one of the Lego knockoffs in the US, but rather than offer a Duplo clone to toddlers Mega Bloks offers oversized blocks, basically giant lego like blocks. And since the Kids meal costs about the same as a regular sandwich I decided to go for it. I'm so smart with my money.... not really, but it made sense at the time.
From what I can tell about previous Subway megablocks, they usually give you 3 blocks with a sticker on them to create a design. Since right now the regular kids meal has a wildlife theme you can see that they've attached animal stickers to these blocks. One side is a panda, the other side a giraffe. And something that came as a surprise, there's sculpted feet.... with one side as panda feet and the other side something resembling deformed giraffe feet. I don't know why that's better than a regular block... it certainly is worse if you want to put the feet on other Mega Bloks because the feet protrude and get in the way of the other studs.
As you can see, one of the benefits of having two animals printed on the blocks is that you can mix and match. I call this a Panraffe.
