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!
Read MoreDino 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!
Read MoreDino 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!
Read MorePlaymobil 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 holiday season!
Read MorePlaymobil 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.
Read More71004 Large Tractor Playmobil Review
Throughout the renovations happening in my house, the one constant for my 3 year old son Lincoln has been the opportunity to review Playmobil sets! Today, we are taking a look at the Large Tractor set, number 71004. The large tractor is, well, large! It comes with two bails of hay, a number of tractor attachments, and a character to play with. We have other tractors that we purchased on our own a few years ago, so how does this one hold up against those? Let's take a look!
Read MorePlaymobil School Bus Ready for Back to School
Just yesterday, I hopped online and signed my kids up for the bus. Although the school is just a few blocks away, we are still just inside the courtesy bus seat parameter, and fortunately can take advantage of the bussing opportunity. My youngest is so excited for his first trip on the bus, and now there is a new toy from Playmobil to take that excitement and make it a reality, but in play-size! That’s right, you can now take…
Read MorePlaymobil Dino Rise Triceratops: Battle for The Legendary Stones Review
I’m fairly positive there is a lengthy backstory to the Dino Rise Playmobil series, but I’d be lying to you if I told you I knew what it was. Because I don’t. However, with a name like, “Battle for the Legendary Stones,” you know it’s going to be something good. While we had no context for what this storyline might be, we did what we do best when we have a lot of Playmobil at our disposal! We improvise and…
Read MoreDuck on Call: Fire Rescue Action: Cat Rescue Playmobil Review
Smaller Playmobil sets are a real joy to review. They are so affordable and easy to recommend, plus they make great additions to existing Playmobil sets, if you have something that fits the theme. Thankfully we did, and were able to pair the Duck on Call: Fire Rescue Action: Cat Rescue with some of our other Playmobil city sets. But is there enough here to justify the $26.99 CAD price point? Let’s take a look! Included Pieces: 1 Freddy Fire,…
