Growing up, Lamborghinis were my favorite car. I had models of the Countach and Diablo. As I got older, I lost track of the brand. However, the cars always held a special place in my memories. Owning a Lamborghini is not something likely to ever happen in my lifetime. However, now I can live vicariously through my SigFig. While it

The Haunted House (10273) is the latest set in the LEGO® Fairground collection. The theme already includes the Ferris Wheel (10247), the Carousel (10257), and the Roller Coaster (10261).

Creator 3-in-1 often puts out fun looking buildings. Not too long ago, we got the Townhouse Pet Shop and Café (click here to read about it). Just a few short months later, the Townhouse Toy Store (31105) hit retail shelves. Combined with older 3-in-1 sets, this theme has started developing quite the little shop-lined street. I acquired the Pet Shop

This is now my third experience with Speed Champions. I have two earlier models, the Ferrari 488 and the Ford Fiesta. I was intrigued by this new Ferrari F8 Tributo due to its wider design. At eight studs wide, two Minifigures can fit side-by-side in the interior. Additionally, the car looks sleek and I like having nice looking cars in
