LEGO Super Mario has been insanely popular, and while I thought only the specialized sets would sell well – the ? Mark Cube and the LEGO NES – it seems that all the LEGO Mario sets are selling really well. So it comes as no surprise that the two companies are once again launching a brand new LEGO Super Mario set for fans to buy and build, this time centred around everyone’s favourite nemesis, the one and only Bowser! Launching…

We have been reviewing a number of Playmobil sets on the site over the past year or so, and the company is ready to announce their next big series. This time around, the new playsets – under th theme Wiltopia – are being made with 80% sustainable materials! This move towards a more eco friendly production plan is such a fantastic, industry leading practice that I hope more companies adopt. And there is no better way to launch this new…

Every once in a while a game hits the board game industry that is so popular, it not only sells out everywhere, but it also gets spinoff releases based on various popular intellectual properties. And that game over the past half decade or so has been Love Letter. While standard Love Letter is a lot of fun, you can now get Batman Love Letter, The Hobbit Love Letter, Marvel Love Letter, and so many more. While each version might give…

Finding games that I actually want to play with my kids can be pretty hard as most games geared towards younger ages are pretty boring, lackluster, or I’ve played them way to much. Every once in a while a new game will come around that offers a lot of promise, and generally delivers a fun experience for all involved. While Box Monster didn’t quite hit that high for me, it is still an excellent game my kids have enjoyed over…

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 sixth and final Jurassic Park film now out in theatres, the LEGO Group International has a ton of LEGO sets ready to put you in the mood. Whether you are a kid, or a kid at heart, these sets from LEGO are sure to bring a smile to anyone's face. With a wide variety of options and prices, there really is something for everyone. Let's take a look at a few of the sets currently being offered!

Fantasy and Playmobil might not seem like the greatest combination, but…oh who are we kidding! It’s a fantastic combination, and when we had the opportunity to build one of the larger sets from the Ayuma series we were really excited! Let’s dive into the Bat Fairy Runes!

Board game remakes and reprints are on the rise, and Citadels is one of those titles that has received a glossy coat of paint, included all previous expansions, and has been relaunched for public consumption. As someone who owned the original in that tiny box, it's nice to have a complete set of the game to enjoy, and I think it's a worthwhile upgrade to make.

Last year, the fantastic folks at Playmobil were nice enough to send over their early learning Playmobil sets, 1-2-3 Aqua which my 2.5 year old son absolutely loved. Unlike regular Playmobil, no small pieces were included with these sets that we reviewed. Everything was really big and chunky, easy to grab and easy to play with. He had a blast. Now at 3.5 years old, he's begun to invest more of his time in more complex Playmobil sets, and because of his love for all things water, we knew that the Water Park with Slides set would be the perfect next step in his ...
