I'm conflicted. I prided myself as a kid on having exclusively on-brand LEGOs and always considered Megablox and such inferior in quality, aesthetic, "cool factor", etc.

But on the other hand:

Meme template captioned "Man, fuck patents. All my homies hate patents."

Plus I'm into 3D printing and like the "stick it to the man" aspect of 3D printing that might reduce people's dependence on serving some company's profit motive for things like shoes (Nike, etc), replacement parts (like parts for my washing machine, improving repairability), figurines (D&D miniatures, for instance), and, indeed, toys like LEGO-compatible pieces.

Maybe I should go 3D print me some Bionicles.
