While Santa may be on his way, there might still be a few more items you need to snag before Christmas. We can’t let Santa have ALL the fun now can we. We have a few products we’d like to highlight for you today.   Barbie® Dreamhouse™ Playset Kids can host the ultimate pool party with the Barbie® Dreamhouse™! This deluxe doll house has the tallest slide in the Barbie® Dreamhouse™ series to date, with a three-story spiral design for…

Tis the season as we all know. My house began decorating right after Halloweens, xmas music on a loop while I work. But as always we here at GamesReviews.com want to try and help make your holiday shopping just a little easier. Few toy products have had the staying power of Lego, and if you are anything like me, I am always looking for the next great build to add to my collection (currently working on my christmas village). But…

Growing up, my family never did advent calendars so the thought of getting a little gift each day leading to Christmas day was foreign to me. I think perhaps over the past 30 years, more and more people have begun getting into the holiday spirit with an advent calendar. They range from calendars that have chocolates or candies, to calendars with books, calendars with toys, and yes even calendars with LEGO. In this article we will look at three different…

We’ve enjoyed reviewing a number of Playmobil sets over the past few years, and we hope to continue doing so for the foreseeable future. It’s such a great time opening up the boxes, getting the sets built, and  getting it all setup with our other sets. When Playmobil reached out with the chance to review the Playmobil 1-2-3 sets, some featuring our favourite Disney characters, I jumped at the chance. Reviewing these sets is not about where my kids are…

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Mutant Mayhem has been my favorite movie this year, even one of the few I went out to the theater to go see. TMNT had peaked in popularity prior in the late 80’s to early 90’s, I was the prime age demographic for who they wanted in a consumer. I had all of the figures, a massive collection, enjoyed the movies, all the games (even the tough as nails NES one) and yes, I even had…

We all remember Polly Pocket right? My little sister had them growing up, I remember them being EVERYWHERE. Then decades later they reinvented Polly Pocket and my littles ones loved it. As they grew older Polly Pocket went away, and they discovered FRIENDS…..now years later…..they have a crossover? This was not on my BINGO card for this year. Ahead of Warner Bros. Discovery’s FRIENDS Fan Week, a week-long celebration leading up to International Friendship Day on Sunday, July 30, we’re…

The Playmobil Recycling truck is one big boy, and it has a ton of play features as well. But one thing I really like about this set is how it teaches my son early on how important it is to recycle products as opposed to throwing them out. It’s nice to see a toy that can be a lot of fun, and be educational! Included: Figures: 2 garbage collectors; Accessories: 1 recycling truck, 2 tetra packs, 3 bottles, 3 stacks…

Reviewing Playmobil products is one of my favourite things to do because it really lets me connect with my youngest on his level. He absolutely adores the products and uses them everywhere, including during bath time. He’s recently become a bit interested in sports at the ripe young age of 4, and watching the Maple Leafs with me is something he’s come to enjoy. When I saw Playmobil had NHL themed sets, I knew I had to jump! Two specific…

When Fantasy Flight Games announced that they would be releasing Marvel D.A.G.G.E.R. this summer, I was pretty excited about it. As a huge Marvel fan, a cooperative hero focused game was something I knew I was going to enjoy. Plus, it’s Fantasy Flight Games! There might be great miniatures in the box as well. After my copy arrived in the mail, I was half right, but that isn’t too big of a deal. Let’s hop into the box and see…

July is just around the corner, and we are getting our second wave of additional content for Star Wars: Shatterpoint. Coming out this month is the Plans and Preparations Squad Pack, the Jedi Hunters Squad Pack, and the You Can’t Run Dual Pack. Let’s dive into what you get with each expansion, and talk a bit about building these units! Plans and Preparations Squad Pack Primary: Jedi Master Luminara Unduli Secondary: Padawan Barriss Offee Supports: Republic Clone Commandos (x2) It…
