REVIEW – When I was a kid, one of my most memorable possessions was a remote control car. Because this was the technology of the 80’s, it only drove (slowly) for about 10 minutes before requiring a 3-4 hour charging session, but nevertheless I still loved it. Fast forward more years than I’d like to …

REVIEW – I played with LEGO as a kid, and when my wife and I had kids, I rediscovered the joy of creating with them. The kids are grown and gone now, but I still like building LEGO sets. When I was younger, there really weren’t many choices. Either we bought genuine LEGO bricks or …
REVIEW – When I was a kid, I enjoyed building models. Not cars or airplanes though. I liked building models of monsters. Yeah, I was a strange kid and that hasn’t changed at all! It’s been quite a while since I put together a model of any type, even LEGO, so when I was offered …

I’m hoping that this medium-sized set that comes with its own lighting system will be fun to …
