The Canadian Grand Prix F1 race is coming up on June 15th, and you can get in on the fun now by picking up a LEGO Grand Prix set from your favourite local retailer. With a great range of sets, there is something for every F1 fan, including small and large car sets, and a small blind-box car collection set you can get into as well. These miniature cars are fantastic – we own a whole lot of them already!…

I’ve never been a shoe guy, so this collaboration between Nike and The LEGO Group doesn’t excite me as much as it might others, but it is a great collaboration one-the-less. Nike will be releasing LEGO themed shoes, and LEGO will be releasing Nike themed LEGO sets. Whether you love LEGO or Nike, you cannot deny that in the past year or so, The LEGO Group has been working on great partnerships across multiple IPs including Nintendo (Super Mario and…

When Ravensburger announced the first cooperative Disney Lorcana set that had players fighting against Ursula, I was instantly intrigued. However, the lack of product at launch locally to me, and a price that I found a bit too high, stopped me from picking it up and giving it a go. While I still think the price for this product is expensive, the latest cooperative release, Palace Heist, is so much better than the first release. If Disney Lorcana is your…

There is nothing quite like a Gacha machine, and I cannot believe that LEGO has released one through the LEGO Ideas program. This set looks phenomenal, with a real working gear system that drops the balls out of the dome and into the hands of greedy kids (I assume, could be greedy adults?). Either way, this set looks phenomenal – if there was ever a LEGO set I wanted to purchase that wasn’t from a specific theme, this would be…

Later this month, the live action Lilo and Stitch film will be hitting theatres across the world, and while I find that Disney’s recent live action remakes are a bit hit and miss, I’m actually quite excited for this one. I think it’s that Stitch isn’t supposed to be a real animal/creature that makes this live action remake just a bit more digestible for me. With the release of the movie, you better believe there are a slew of great…

Star Wars day is coming – as we get closer and closer to May 4th, it’s time to get excited about some Star Wars themed parties and entertainment options! Every year, we put on our favourite Star Wars movies and shows, sometimes build a LEGO set or two purchased from a local retailer, or simply play with some of the Star Wars LEGO we already have at home. This year, there are a ton of stellar Star Wars LEGO sets…

There are a number of Playmobil sets that I classify as “addons” as opposed to complete sets on their own. These sets provide a number of great pieces that would make great accessories to larger sets you might already own. The Vegetable Garden with Grandparents set is the perfect example of this. My kids have a ton of Country themed Playmobil sets, and they love the mall. We have a number of tractors, a barn, and more that my kids…

I’ll begin this article by stating one thing that will become apparent if you a) purchase your own Magic Band+ or b) watch videos of others using their Magic Band+. It doesn’t always work, and that can be super frustrating. However, when it is working flawlessly (which is usually what happens) there is a lot of joy to be had. Now I would say that perhaps there is more fun here for kids than adults, but there is fun none…

The LEGO Mario Kart sets are coming quickly, and obviously my kids are as excited as most to see their toy once again collaborate with their favorite video game company on brand new LEGO sets. We have purchased a number of the LEGO Mario Kart sets that have been released so far, but The LEGO Group was nice enough to send over Toad’s Garage, set number 72035. Although I’ve personally not been a fan of these sets – will get…

Over the past couple days, my wife and I and our kids had the opportunity to travel to Walt Disney World on a short Disney vacation. Thanks to our friends at Disney Canada, we were able to secure some anytime use Lightning Lane passes, which allowed us to check out some of the more popular attractions at Magic Kingdom and Epcot. What we witnessed was Disney at its finest, with some of the best technologies currently in use for theme…
