Going Big with Wiltopia – Animal Care Station

We have had the pleasure to look at a number of Playmobil sets over the past two years, but none have come close to the magnitude of the Wiltopia Animal Care Station. With over 350 pieces, getting this set together took a lot of time - in fact, Playmobil even warns parents that assembling the set could take up to 90 minutes! But is all the effort worth it? Is there enough to do in the Animal Care Station to warrant the high price and long build time? Let's take ...

90s Nostalgic LEGO sets for Adults

If you grew up in the late 80s or early to mid 1990s, you are either pushing your 30s now or are just over the hump. LEGO - whether on purpose or by accident - is beginning to cater to this generation of fans by releasing a number of nostalgic LEGO sets that are either based on sets from the past, or some of our favourite experiences from that decade. Let's take a quick look at three LEGO sets that will definitely get your nostalgic juices flowing!

G FITS Earbuds from Logitech

With the recent launch of the Logitech G Cloud, a number of other products in the G lineup have come out as well. This includes the brand new Logitech GFITS true wireless gaming earbuds. We assume these pair nicely with the cloud gaming handheld, but we currently do not have one. That being said, we tested the GFITS extensivley with both our mobile devices and Nintendo Switch unit, and are  very impressed!

Dino Rise – Pteradon Drone Strike Playmobil Review

Not every Playmobil set we review is huge, and not every Playmobil set we review is great for multiple kids at once. I do enjoy that Playmobil has these smaller sets, because not only are they a good price, but they are a good value as well. We've looked at a lot of Dino Rise sets in the past, so why not look at another. Here is my deep dive on Dino Rise - Pteradon Attack!

Bayonetta 3 Review

Bayonetta has never been a franchise I have paid much attention to. Until the recent controversary around voice actor salaries and who was or wasn't included in the project, I took a deeper look at the world of Bayonetta. What I found was a franchise beloved by many, but perhaps still a niche experience when compared to other Nintendo published franchises. Still, this one from PlatinumGames is promising to be the biggest and best yet - does it deliver? While ...

Libertalia: Winds of Galecrest Review

When I had heard that Stonemaier games had the publishing right to Libertalia, and that they were going to release a brand new verison of the game, I was really excited. I had actually played the original Libertalia, and it looked as if Stonemaier was going to improve upon the original? How does it all shake down? Is it worth double dipping, or picking up for the first time? Let's take a look!

Dino Rise Saichania: Invasion of The Robot Playmobil Review

More Playmobil, more great fun! This time my kids and I stepped outside the world of reality - from looking at the Fire Rescue ship and Mini Cooper - and entered the world of dinosaurs! We've looked at Dino Rise in the past, but not on this scale. The Saichania: Invasion of the Robot set is pretty big, and includes all you need for at least two people to play for hours. Let's take a look!

Playmobil City Action Fire Rescue and Personal Watercraft (70140) Review

I hope you are not getting tired of seeing Playmobil on the website, because we have a lot more coming! This time, we are taking a look at the City Action Fire Rescue and Personal Watercraft (70140) that includes two boats, 4 figures, and tons of little gadgets to keep you fans buys for hours. While this set doesn't have the same "display" qualities as the Mini Cooper we recently reviewed, it has its own pros that make it one of the better sets available this ...

Playmobil Mini Cooper Review

Although it might only be 41 total pieces, the Mini Cooper from Playmobil (Set 70921) is one fantastic toy. If there is one thing I can say about Playmobil that is always true, it is that their licensed vehicles are top notch and unrivaled in this space. In the past, we have reviewed the Volkswagon Bug and Bus, and many other vehicles. They are always fantastic. With a few characters included, this is one of the better, shareable Playmobil experiences.

Google Pixel Buds Pro Review

The Roffel household has been using Google products for many years now, and for the most part, they have all performed very well. The Google Nest WIFI improved our local home wifi network 10 fold, and all of our other Google screens and devices have been great for playing music, showing recipes, and so much more. Recently, the good folks at Google sent over the brand new Google Pixel Buds Pro for us to try out, and boy am I impressed!
