RITVIK Bricks
RITVIK MEGABLOCKS
1-800-465-MEGA (in US and Canada)
Ritvik Megablocks are yet another building brick manufacturer. Their
merchandise is at best mediocre, at worst, ineffectual at staying
together in whatever shaped you have assembled it. There are a few
specialty pieces worth buying the sets for, especially as RITVIK
Megablocks are among the cheapest of the building bricks, second only
to generic ones without even a company name. They have product lines
in GALAXY, DINOBLOKS, LEGEND, and FANTASY genres. Their sets have
odd, loose jointed figures, but one or two of them might be useful in
some settings.
There is only one I can effectively review, as there has only been one
I desired to buy. I will list the others I know of, however.
9403 Fantasy Birthday Party (instructions dated 1994)
This set features a lot of pastels, a lot of flat topped tiles, lots
of 1x1x1 round bricks, some rounded baseflats (at 1/2 height not 1/3,
leading me to wonder if RITVIK bought out TYCO), and some lovely
swanboats which I found useful for my kiddie rides in my amusement
park. See the swan ride for a picture. The stickers included make
for some cute food tiles which were useful in my restaurants. The
pieces, as most of RITVIK's bricks fit poorly together and large
buildings are unstable. The figures are useful in my LEGO settings,
as this set included a clown and a girl in a dress. Both were used as
figures in my amusement park. This set was cheap, 10$ each. I bought
two.
