Mega Bloks is a toy company based in Canada. It is part of the Mega Brands group, which includes the bloks and various other products.
Mega Bloks was founded in 1967 by Victor Bernard and was previously called Ritvik Toys. LEGO has tried numerous times in multiple countries to win law suits against Mega Bloks for the tube and stud interlocking brick system, but has failed.
Mega Bloks comes in four sizes: Maxi, Mini, Micro and Nano. Each are aimed at different age groups, though Nano only lasted from 2004 - 2005.
Similarly to LEGO, Mega Bloks has many themes, licensed and non-licensed. These include Dragons; which spawned two movies; Pyrates, Battle Strikers, NEO shifters, Streetz, Probuilder, Girls, Metalons, Play N Go and Magnext. Licenses which Mega Bloks have produced include Marvel Comics, Thomas & Friends, Yo Gabba Gabba, In the Night Garden, Wonder Pets, CAT, Dora the Explorer, Halo Wars, Pirates of the Carribean, Pokémon, Narnia and Spider-Man.

- ... Mega Brands is one of America's top 10 brands?
- ... Mega Bloks has licenses with NASCAR, Harley-Davidson, Marvel Comics, Gundam, Bandai, Star Trek, TMNT, The Walt Disney Company and Microsoft?
- ...that many Micro-scale Mega Bloks sets include small action figures whose design has evolved substantially over time? Early versions had little articulation and compared poorly with figures offered in competing brick-based construction toys. Mega Bloks figures are constructed from a small number of standard, interchangeable components like legs, arms, and torsos, with minimal printing on a basically spherical head to yield a rudimentary face.
- ...that in a commercial for Honda which debuted on October 15, 2003, computer-generated imagery showed a cloud of Mega Bloks bricks raining down to assemble a life-sized version of the Honda Element, an SUV?
- ...Mega Bloks released an animated movie, Dragons: Fire & Ice, direct to DVD and video and which subsequently aired on the Cartoon Network? Fire & Ice was based on Mega Bloks' successful "Dragons" product line, featuring detailed warriors, castles, and, of course, dragons, in Micro scale. A sequel, entitled Dragons: Metal Ages has also aired on the Cartoon Network and been released on video.
