Our verdict
These two share a rating (4.8 apiece) and almost nothing else. The Mega Bloks Big Building Bag is £7.49 at the time of writing, gives toddlers 60 chunky pieces in 10 shapes, and has a colossal 63,843 reviews behind it. The LEGO Bonsai Tree costs £33.99 and is explicitly designed for adults, a display piece with interchangeable green leaves or pink cherry blossom. So the choice is really about the recipient's age, not quality. For a small child, the Mega Bloks bag is the obvious, wallet-friendly pick. For an adult who fancies a calming build and a bit of shelf decoration, the LEGO wins outright.
