These roller coaster kids are really great! I actually prefer them to the Lego roller coaster (Both in price and build experience). CDX Blocks is doing a big sale on their new Sidewinder kit!

Do you have a link from LEGO that certifies that these are compatible? I'm a little confused as to how these can be compatible with BOTH Mega Bloks *AND* LEGO, since those are not compatible with each other (well, they are -- in the way that my coffee table is compatible with LEGO).
So they are not compatible with Mega Blok then? Which one are they compatible with?
Both.
Zoom in on the picture. One of each type is shown. Same dimensions.

Like another poster said, unless you can provide a link showing LEGO has certified them, stay away.

This statement is ridiculous. What possible motivation would an industry leader have to say a competitor's product is compatible? Just because Lego doesn't say they are compatible doesn't mean they aren't.

Mega Bloks have higher blocks, and the diameters of the balls and rods are completely different than LEGO, none of which is shown in your picture.
Part of it is QC issues, and part of it is the fact that the ball joints and axles are intended to be different sizes -- as are the 'half high' blocks.
And just because some Slickdeals poster claims they are -- doesn't make it so. A quick google search shows that Mega Bloks and LEGO *INTEND* to have different sizes on many parts, even without the quality control issues from Mega Bloks.
