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…

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…

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,…

Our coverage of LEGO Jurassic World continues with another fantastic set from the fine folks at The LEGO Group International. The last set we looked at was an impressive, shareable set that includes three minifigures and a large Carnotaurus. This one is equally as impressive, and even includes the first official floatable boat in the series! Let’s take a look at the Baryonyx Dinosaur Boat Escape!

With the release of the final Jurassic World film, dinosaurs have been given yet another boost. Toys are being released, board games are coming out, and there is lots to be excited about if you are a lover of the giant beasts. Our friends at the LEGO Group International were kind enough to send over a few sets for us to review, and first up is the Carnotaurus Chase. Let's take a look!

With the Mandalorian taking a short screen hiatus, the hype of Grogu...the Child...has died down and perhaps one would think that this character isn't as popular as he once was. Wrong, so very wrong. Grogu is as popular as ever before, and a quick search of any toy store will tell you this. One item is rising above the rest, however - the fantastic RC The Child figure. 

While wooden trains have been all the rage for young kids over the past few decades, there is one downside to them - they generally cannot be self-propelled and it's hard to build them really high in a small space. And so enters the Thomas & Friends Trains and Cranes Super Tower, a self propelled train that climbs up and down a tower, with lots of play options for younger kids!

It is not often that we look at one of the LEGO Ideas sets here on GamesReviews, but LEGO was nice enough to track down the Medieval Blacksmith set for us to review, and although it took a bit of time to find and get it here, it was well worth the wait. This large and detailed set from LEGO brings me back to the days of playing with my castle LEGO sets, complete with knights, peasants, and more. But with the hefty price tag, is this set worth it? Let's dive in!
