When The LEGO Group reached out and asked if we would like to review the LEGO Creator 3 in 1 Wild Safari Animals set, I admit I wasn’t overly enthused. I’m a bit hot and cold on 3 in 1 sets – I think some are fantastic, particularly the houses you can get – but I find most of them don’t peak my interest like other LEGO sets do. I said yes for two reasons. First, LEGO reviews perform really…

The LEGO Group continues to impress me with their adult focused LEGO set releases, and the Planet Earth and Moon in Orbit set is no exception. This somewhat complicated build was incredibly satisfying from the first page of the instructions, and with very little repetition in the build, it was a joy to work on for a few hours. Ultimately, in a crowded LEGO space, is this one worth the investment? Let’s take a look! First and foremost, there are…

GamesReviews has reviewed a ton of toys over the past half decade, and most of them are flashes in the pan. A few obvious brands stick out, and some less obvious. I think it is no surprise to anyone that LEGO and Playmobil are a big thing with my 10 year old and 6 year old, but one other toy has also caught their attention. This is NOT a flash-in-the-pan experience either, although there is a lot of flash. When…

A few weeks ago, The LEGO Group and Epic Games sent over the 4 brand new LEGO Fortnite sets, and we have been having a blast putting them together. Obviously, we reviewed the big sets first – you can read our thoughts on the Battle Bus and Peely Bone now! But the most interesting set in my opinion was the Fortnite Supply Llama, a LEGO set based on the iconic purple Fortnite Llama that is always giving gifts and loot…

With STEM Day coming up on November 8, perhaps picking up the LEGO PoweredUP Freight Train would be a good idea for the kids!

Of all the LEGO Fortnite sets, my kids were most excited about the Fortnite Battle Bus! This is a fantastic set, let's take a look!

This Peely Bone set from LEGO is phenomenal - it's the best set I've built since the LEGO Grand Piano. That is high praise!

We have looked at a number of LEGO DreamZzz LEGO sets in the past few weeks, and yet another one arrived from our friends at The LEGO Group. This time around, we are looking at the Never Witch’s Nightmare Creatures set, which is easily the best one we have looked at so far. You saw how positive our other LEGO DreamZzz sets were? This one is gong to be even better. But first, let’s talk about LEGO DreamZzz as a…

As we begin the Fall season, it is inevitable that Christmas products would also be hitting shelves, and that is the case with The LEGO Group’s newest set of Advent calendars. My wife and I have loved gifting our kids Advent calendars ever since they were born, but recently we have been investing in the LEGO advent calendar to help populate our growing LEGO winter village we build each year. Any discussion about this year’s advent calendar will be limited…

Much of what I said when we reviewed the Turtle Van  is going to apply here when we talk about the LEGO Dreamzz Crocodile Car. In fact, some of that article I’m going to copy and paste here, not because I’m lazy, but because the importance of imagination, and why I think Dreamzzz is such a great theme, is the same regardless of which Dreamzzz set we build and review. That being said, it’s been about a week since we…
