A while back, I got a couple of the LEGO City Jungle Exploration sets. Having a degree in wildlife biology put these sets on my must have list. I bought the Jungle Half Track Mission (click here to read my review) for the panther. I also bought the Jungle Exploration Site (click here for my review) to get the leopard.

I have already reviewed Katana (click here to read it), Deadshot (click here to read), Captain Boomerang (click here to read), and the Joker (click here to read).

Read moreI’m back with the fourth installment of my LEGO vs fLEGO Suicide Squad review. So far, I have had a look at Katana (click here to read), Deadshot (click here), and Captain Boomerang (click here). When I ordered my FLEGO Suicide Squad a while back, it also came with not one, but two Joker variants. Let me begin by saying
Read moreWelcome to the third installment of my fLEGO (fake LEGO) Suicide Squad review. Previously, I reviewed Katana (click here to read it) and Deadshot (click here to read it). Both of the aforementioned fLEGO figs suffered from some design and quality issues, though Katana was much worse than Deadshot. Let’s see if Captain Boomerang breaks the mold, or succumbs to

Along with my fLEGO Katana, I also got most of the Suicide Squad in a packaged deal. Some of these characters have actual LEGO versions, and others do not. Today, we’ll compare LEGO and fLEGO Deadshot and see how

Out of curiosity, I have bought (and reviewed) FLEGO before, but have always found it to be inferior in quality. However, I was a little

After reviewing LEGO‘s Indominus rex Breakout last week, I have decided to take another look at real LEGO versus the fake stuff coming out of China. My local Toys R Us has no more Indominus rex Breakout sets left. They ran out a couple of weeks ago during the Jurassic World 20% off sale. The LEGO Store nearby has not

Back in April, I wrote an entry out of curiosity. I went to a comic convention and purchased a fake LEGO Harley Quinn (click here to read my review). I termed this fake LEGO “FLego”.
