Builder questions, answered

Yes. Mega Brands joined Mattel in 2014, and our building lines — MEGA Bloks, MEGA Construx and the MEGA collector sets — are made under the MEGA name inside the Mattel family of brands.

We make construction toys: MEGA Bloks big building blocks for toddlers, MEGA Construx and MEGA building sets for kids, and detailed collector builds for adults, plus a few classic Mega Brands puzzles and games.

No. MEGA is our own brand of building sets with its own bricks, figures and licences such as Pokémon, Halo and Hot Wheels. Our standard bricks are built to the common stud system, so many builders mix them with other bricks at home.

MEGA Bloks First Builders start at 12 months; most MEGA Pokémon and Hot Wheels sets are for ages 6 and up; Halo, motion and pixel-art builds are marked 8+, 12+ or for adult collectors. The ages are on every product page.

Each product page in our brickyard has a button that opens the set on our partner store, where you see the live price, stock and delivery options and place the order.
