"do buyers care what brand it is"

Yes, most definitely.

Make sure your listing clearly state that the lot contains some of each.

Separate the Mega Bloks from the Lego  and sell each separately....  will sell better.

Lego and Mega Blocks look similar  but they do not mix well in a build.....

If you have two pounds it may not be critical...  It will be a lot different situation with 20 , 50, 100 pounds and more...

There is a price differential between the two... atleast there was over 6 years ago.

and while you are at it   you may find specialty blocks...  windows, doors, clear blocks,(from space and Space craft  Lego sets) uniquely shaped blocks, as well a figures  and maybe even animals

You will soon find  that each category of block  and each  variation will have its own value.

Basic Lego has a price per pound....check on eBay.com  and then go from there.

For Lego  the price used to be about $5 to $6 a pound...  could be more

Some bulk Lego is selling at close to $10 a pound.

Mega Bloks appear to have less value.... perhaps close to $5 a pound....
