Thanks to our good friends at The LEGO Group, we had the opportunity to build and review LEGO set #60194, the Arctic Scout Truck. At roughly 59.99 USD, this set doesn't meet our 10 cents / piece threshold that deems a LEGO set a good value, but offers up enough unique pieces that make it a worthwhile purchase anyway. Let's dive in and see how this set goes together!

LEGO Dimensions – LEGO City Fun Pack Review
LEGO City Undercover was an excellent release way back on the Wii U, and got its deserved rerelease on all platforms early this year. Not to lose out on that hype, Travelers Tales has officially launched the LEGO City Fun Pack for LEGO Dimensions, bringing Chase McCain and a cast of other characters over to the LEGO Dimensions universe. While this obviously isn't a 1-for-1 remake of the full fledged LEGO City Undercover title, it is a wonderful addition to the Dimensions world, and might even entice those who have yet to play the full Chase McCain adventure, ...
Read MoreLEGO Dimensions Wave 8 Unboxing and LEGO Review: Harry Potter and LEGO City
Warner Bros. Entertainment in Toronto was nice enough to pass along the latest wave of LEGO Dimensions sets for us to unbox and review. Usually, our reviews on the website have been limited to text, but this time around I've done an unboxing and build YouTube video of the Harry Potter and LEGO City Fun Packs. The Goonies will be done in a day or two. I have mixed feelings on both of these sets, from a LEGO perspective that is. Read on to find out more, and be sure to watch our video! As it is a new channel, we hope you will subscribe as it will be used to ...

When we were putting together are Christmas 2016 buyers guide, we pointed to LEGO Dimensions as the must own game during the holiday season, with a great lineup of expansion packs already available for purchase, and more popular franchises coming in the coming months. This week, LEGO Dimensions and Warner Bros. are delivering on that with retail releases of The Goonies, Harry Potter, and LEGO City.
Read MoreMy LEGO City: Fire
Ever since we received a pre-release copy of LEGO Worlds from the LEGO Group and Warner Bros Entertainment, we’ve been busy constructing a LEGO City on the Xbox One. While playing through LEGO Worlds, it’s made me rethink the (future) LEGO City that will inhabit my basement. Through a series of articles, we will look at various aspects of the LEGO City, some of the sets I have in that theme, and what sets I’m looking to purchase. Today we…
Read More60051 – High Speed Passenger Train
When I look on YouTube at the LEGO cities created by LEGO fanatics, I never consider a city complete without some type of train system. I felt the exact same way about my own city setup, so over the holidays last year I decided to rectify that problem and purchase - actually received as a gift! - the High Speed Passenger Train. With a bit of extra Christmas money, I also bought a few extra boxes of tracks, including LEGO's somewhat new flex-track. Of all the trains available from LEGO, the High Speed Passenger Train is definitely the least impressive, but is ...
Read MoreLEGO City Undercover Rerelease Is Too Fun to Pass On
When we first looked at LEGO City Undercover in 2013, we called it one of LEGO's best games ever, especially since, unlike other LEGO franchises - it didn't actually have any source material. It couldn't bank on the Harry Potter or Star Wars names; it had to stand on it's own, really only using the LEGO City licence to attract potential players. With a limited release - on the now proven failed Wii U experiment by Nintendo - LEGO City Undercover was a game that not a lot of people got to play, which is incredibly unfortunate. The game, while spectacular at ...
