With STEM Day coming up on November 8, perhaps picking up the LEGO PoweredUP Freight Train would be a good idea for the kids!

Of all the LEGO Fortnite sets, my kids were most excited about the Fortnite Battle Bus! This is a fantastic set, let's take a look!

This Peely Bone set from LEGO is phenomenal - it's the best set I've built since the LEGO Grand Piano. That is high praise!

We have looked at a number of LEGO DreamZzz LEGO sets in the past few weeks, and yet another one arrived from our friends at The LEGO Group. This time around, we are looking at the Never Witch’s Nightmare Creatures set, which is easily the best one we have looked at so far. You saw how positive our other LEGO DreamZzz sets were? This one is gong to be even better. But first, let’s talk about LEGO DreamZzz as a…

As we begin the Fall season, it is inevitable that Christmas products would also be hitting shelves, and that is the case with The LEGO Group’s newest set of Advent calendars. My wife and I have loved gifting our kids Advent calendars ever since they were born, but recently we have been investing in the LEGO advent calendar to help populate our growing LEGO winter village we build each year. Any discussion about this year’s advent calendar will be limited…

Much of what I said when we reviewed the Turtle Van  is going to apply here when we talk about the LEGO Dreamzz Crocodile Car. In fact, some of that article I’m going to copy and paste here, not because I’m lazy, but because the importance of imagination, and why I think Dreamzzz is such a great theme, is the same regardless of which Dreamzzz set we build and review. That being said, it’s been about a week since we…

It’s been a few minutes since our last Playmobil review, but that doesn’t mean my youngest hasn’t had his many Wiltopia animals out on the floor week in and week out. As his animal collection has grown, he’s been pining for more and more Wiltopia animal sets. We bought a few ourselves, but Playmobil was nice enough to send over another smaller set, the Animal Photographer. This set is based on a watering hole in Africa, and includes a number…

I wasn’t sure what to expect when we began opening up Mrs. Castillo’s Turtle Van from the LEGO Dreamzzz. I’ve seen LEGO themes crash and burn before, but for some reason despite the wackiness of Dreamzzz, my kids were super enthused by the entire theme. So, to do my homework, as we opened up the Turtle Van, we put on a few episodes of the show on Netflix, and my kids were hooked. LEGO is a huge hit in our…

The LEGO Group and Universal Products & Experiences are releasing a new line of LEGO Wicked sets based on the upcoming musical film.

A few years ago, Playmobil ran a line of futuristic dinosaur themed playsets called Dino Rise, and while my son was really into dinosaurs, I think all the guns, lasers, cannons, and more threw him off a bit and the set wasn’t as popular as I would have thought. With their new line of dinosaur sets hitting shelves this month, the Dinos theme from Playmobil is showing a lot of promise. We had the chance to look at the T-Rex…
