Beds are an oddity in the LEGO world. At some point, most kids will attempt to make one for their minifigures but they’re always hit with the same realization: LEGO figures and beds don’t mix. Sure, cots are fine but it’s impossible to tuck a figure in with bricks! Read the rest of this entry »

No Action League wave would be complete without including some version of the Skittle Corps from Green Lantern. I mean, Action League has given us more members of the Green Lantern Corps than most teams so it’s about time the Sinestro Corps get their due. Read the rest of this entry »

After a few long years, enough figures have come out in the Action League line that we actually have something that resembles a Justice League. But someone at Mattel seems to be on a tangent that makes sure every super hero is wearing pants. Read the rest of this entry »

Repaints are an easy way for toy companies to produce a new figure without having to spend any money on new molds. If you want to really get technical, most LEGO figures and Minimates are just repaints! But every now and then, a repaint comes along that not only makes sense, but actually works better than the original. Read the rest of this entry »

It’s been so long that I’ve only been reviewing LEGO sets that I started to forget what buying other toys was like. But amazingly, just after Christmas the latest wave of the DC Universe Action League arrived on shelves! And much like the Brave and the Bold Action League, Mattel has gone deep into the DC Universe to pull out a character even I don’t know anything about. Read the rest of this entry »

Let’s be honest – the only reason anyone is buying the LEGO Dino theme is for the dinosaurs. I mean, who doesn’t want a giant T-Rex or a pack of velociraptors running through their LEGO City? So it was no surprise that I knew I needed to get a triceratops – especially given my love for Triceratons from Ninja Turtles.

The mighty Triceratops is on the rampage and headed straight for the city! Fire the tranquilizer weapons, lure it into the cage and load it onto the truck before it reaches the city and causes mayhem! Read the rest of this entry »

I love it when LEGO uses the collectible minifigures to make historical-themed figures that don’t quite fit in with the Castle theme. Though if LEGO really want to make an ancient history-themed line, I could see a horde of these guys showing up to battle. Read the rest of this entry »

Every now and then I get a LEGO set that just sits on my desk built for ages and I can’t bring myself to say much of anything about it. When a set is great, it’s easy to be glowing. Or when something is laughably awful, those are fun to write as well. But a set that is just okay and nothing more or less? Well, those tend to dwell in the purgatory that is my desk.

General Kruncha has busted into Kai’s blacksmith shop to steal the secret map with the location of the 4 golden Ninjago weapons! Help Kai to fend him off using the Blacksmith Shop’s hidden arsenal of weapons– Spinjitzu style! Read the rest of this entry »

The latest series of the addictive LEGO Collectible Minifigures have been released and just like the last five waves, I can’t even begin to fathom how amazing these little guys are. So while I’ve been buying LEGO Aliens for as long as they’ve been sold, this is the first time LEGO has released a classic alien. Read the rest of this entry »

The Joker has to be some kind of real estate genius. How else does he constantly end up in abandoned theme parks? Does he just buy them up or is he always squatting? More importantly, why does Gotham have so many abandoned theme parks?

If you are only going to get one LEGO DC Super Heroes set, this is the one to get. If you’re only going to get two, get this one and the Superman set. This is a set with three villains, two heroes, a vehicle and a massive build jammed packed with traps for the Dark Knight.

The Riddler, the Joker and his sidekick Harley Quinn are holding Robin hostage at their evil funhouse! As our hero Batman jumps off his cool Batcycle, can he avoid the trap door, big hammer and moving floor and rescue his crime-fighting partner? Read the rest of this entry »
