Founded in 1967, Meigao was the largest toy manufacturer in Canada, second only to Lego in terms of market share in the United States. Meigao has been recognized by European and American toy market selection agencies, and its toy categories include dolls, models, and figures under animation and games. In 2014, Meigao was acquired by Mattel for $460 million and officially became a member of Mattel. In the "2018 list of the world's 25 most valuable toy brands" released by Brand Finance, Meigao is the only building block brand on the list other than Lego.
 
Meigao's building block products are mainly divided into three categories: large particles, medium particles and small particles, which are suitable for children of different ages, and the overall price is not very high, basically below 400 yuan, but in terms of workmanship, there is a large gap with Lego.
 
Meigao has almost no competitors in large bricks, and there are no imitations, and it has a good reputation. Because Lego does not have products of the same size, and the quality of domestic products of the same size is not as good as that of Meigao. The large particles are made of PPE soft plastic, which can be chewed. Also known as large pieces, the Mega is larger than the LEGO DUPLO series, so it is not compatible with DUPLO and cannot be mixed and built together. Because of its large size and light weight, young babies can grasp effortlessly, and at the same time reduce the risk of swallowing, and have a high level of safety. Its basic version of the American high building block 80 is the best-selling one, but also its more classic original product, for the giraffe shape, compared with the general small particle building blocks, it can be built to a higher height and not easy to pour, for children who like to stack high, this one is worth recommending.
 
Meigao's medium particles and small particles are suitable for children aged 3 years and above, and they are slightly inferior to their large particles, and the product features are not outstanding enough, and they are decent compared to Lego. The Medium Grain and LEGO DUPLO are the same size and are fully compatible, so you can mix and match. However, compared with Lego DUPLO, the quality of American high school pellets is a grade worse: the material is thin, the weight is light, the edges are not smooth enough, and the feel is not as good as DUPLO. Therefore, Meigao medium particles are also much cheaper than DUPLO, which is a good substitute for DUPLO. If you feel that the price of DUPLO is a little higher, you can choose to buy a mixture of DUPLO and DUPLO granules, which is also a good way, but the building experience is definitely not as good as the full set of DUPLO.
 
The size of the Meigao small particles is the same as the Lego standard particles, and it is also fully compatible, but there are relatively few Meigao small particle products, most of which are models under the theme of animation and games, which is much less difficult than the Lego standard particles. In general, the variety of American building blocks is not rich enough, and it is far from being comparable to Lego in this regard.
