I was at Walmart not long ago scouring the LEGO® aisle. Something different caught my eye. Normally I just breeze past the fake LEGO® without a second glance. However, on this trip, I saw the Block Tech building base on the bottom shelf. It is a road base plate, and it is five dollars. As you all know, genuine LEGO®

Ok, this week’s review has been a LONG time coming. I don’t know if anyone pays that close attention to what pictures I post and when… But, there is usually a big gap between when I buy a set, and when I review it. The simple reason is that I unfortunately can’t quit my day job to just build LEGO®
Read moreA 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). Today, I have the final installment in
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
Read moreI recently wrote a review comparing the LEGO and fLEGO (fake LEGO) versions of the Katana Minifigure (click here to read it). 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
Read moreIt has been a while since I have purchased any FLEGO (fake LEGO)… I have to admit that I am bit of a LEGO purist, and don’t generally believe in paying for the fake stuff. 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

My wife and I charge most of our purchases to our travel points credit card. This normally gives us the opportunity to make one or two weekend getaways each year. For the last couple of years, we have made the short trip to Ottawa in order to attend Comic Con, and our points cover the hotel cost. I love Comic

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
