When I saw that the LEGO Galaxy Explorer had about 1200 pieces in it, I was expecting a fairly decent build, but nothing compared to the sets I've reviewed that had 1000s upon 1000s of pieces. Boy was a I wrong. Earlier this month we detailed sets that would be nostalgic for adults in 2022, and we listed this set as one of them. Now we are here to tell you why it is so good, and why it would make a great gift this holiday season!

When it comes to beginning your Pokémon Trading Card Game collection, there are really only two places to start if you plan to actually play the game. If you are just going to collect cards, any pack or box set will do. But if you want to play, that is a different story. The starter decks allow for players to get going right away with no effort. But Elite Trainer Boxes give players almost everything they need to start crafting their very own decks

One of the better line of plush toys available from Build-A-Bear has to be the Pokémon characters. This might be followed closely by the Super Mario characters, but there is something about the Pokémon Plush toys that just make a lot of sense! Today, the Pokémon Company International and Build-A-Bear announced a brand new Pokémon plush coming to the retailer, as well as an older favourite coming back!

I've said it many times before that I think Gravitrax is the best toy currently available on the market. Yes, that is a bold statement, but if assess the amount of money it would cost to buy the Gravitrax sets I currently own, and divide that by how much my kids have played with the toy, it is easily number one. Recently, Ravensburger sent over Gravitrax Power, which adds, well, power! Now my kids can create better marble runs and so much more. This set comes ...

Where appropriate throughout this guide, we will publish our opinions on various toys. So without further ado, let’s check out what Jazwares has for you this holiday season! We will add more to this gift guide as we try out more Jazware…

When you have the opportunity to review a lot of products from one company, you quickly realize what works and what doesn't. With each Playmobil set I've reviewed, I've generally been really pleased with what my kids and I have experienced. Unfortunately, there are times when a set doesn't quite meet the expectations of myself, and perhaps Playmobil either. Over the last week, we have reviewed two large Playmobil sets, the Wiltopia Animals Care Station and the ...

I love playing unique narrative based games, and always get excited when I see one dropping on Nintendo Switch. The latest narrative game to capture my attention is one from a development studio called Inkle. The game in question is, what you might call, a reverse murder mystery. Let’s head out to sea and check out Overboard! on Nintendo Switch. You are at sea with your husband. A husband you hate. A husband who may or may not be cheating…

The cleaning products from iRobot have been some of the best I have demoed, and while they all might have their drawbacks, it’s the companies continued drive to do better on future iterations that keeps me coming back. iRobot has steadily improved the capabilities of their devices, and have made cleaning my home such a breeze. Below, we are highlighting a few of our favourite products, and ones we recommend this holiday season! In full transparency, we ...
