We just have to talk about the best E3 event so far! In case you missed it, you can check it out in the video below. Some of you may have missed the best E3 2021 event so far.

Last year there was no E3. It wasn’t a great year for games. This year so far has been better but developers are still struggling a bit. And E3 is returning. I want to talk about E3 and why gamers shouldn’t set their expectations too high. E3 is returning this year. It will be an all virtual event though, so there will be no show floor for press, developers, and celebrities’ to attend. Most of the big publishers will be…

Assemble your own console and retro TV, then turn the crank to make 8-bit Mario move across the screen! Add your LEGO Mario figure for even more fun!” I think this set looks really cool! I wish I didn’t suck at putting Lego…

I'll be the first to admit that what Nintendo and LEGO revealed earlier this year was not quite what I was expecting when I heard that the two entertainment giants were going to partner together on a line of sets. While the appeal isn't likely there for adults - unless they are looking to purchase for display purposes - the market for kids is huge, and based on the reactions of my 10 and 6 year olds, it's going to be a big hit in the Roffel household.

While all LEGO sets are treated equally in the Roffel household when it comes to our likes and dislikes, a select few are elevated to ‘display’ status and find a prominent position on our shelf.
