Mega Bloks Hot Wheels Twinduction set review!

When I was a young kid, I loved Hot Wheels. I even still have one today that formed one of my earliest memories (it was first released in 1976 and the one I had as a kid was new!). Now, the thought of mixing Hot Wheels and brick-based building systems sounds like an easy win-win, but it could also be a real let-down if the sets are designed poorly.  Time to give it a shot!

Three LEGO Star Wars Planet set reviews

I've always been curious about these odd little sets and finally decided to take the plunge & try a few out.  I went with one each from series 1, 2, and 3.  In the videos are my thoughts.  What are yours?

• LEGO Star Wars planet set 9676 - Death Star & TIE Interceptor
• LEGO Star Wars Planet set 9678 - Bespin & Cloud Car
• LEGO Star Wars planet set 75008 - Asteroid Field & TIE Bomber

KRE-O Star Trek Enterprise ship construction set review!

Here's one for the Trekkies!  I just saw Into Darkness earlier this week after it was released to digital media.  I had already purchased this set by then, but what good timing!

Mega Bloks Call of Duty RIB Beach Assault set review!

Another of the new Mega Bloks CoD sets, quite a bit smaller than the last.  This one is not my favorite of the lot.  In fact, it's my least favorite.  Even at that, it's still not a bad set.

Mega Bloks Call of Duty Chopper Strike set review

Here we go with a larger set from Mega Bloks' Collector Series Call of Duty releases for this year!  Looking pretty good.  More to come.

I forgot to mention one thing in the video, though.  The JANGBRiCKS Mega Bloks Curse did strike once again.  One part that was supposed to be black came through as gunmetal gray instead.  You can see it in the nose if you look carefully -- there's a gray stripe through what is otherwise an all-black sub-assembly. At least there were no missing parts this time!

JANG's LEGO city (non)-update

I feel very awkward doing this.  Over the past couple of weeks the number of requests for an update video about my LEGO city has again increased dramatically.  I pretty regularly promise viewers that whenever there is an update to show, I will show it.  I have not shown any update recently because there is nothing new to show :-/

Because so many folks are requesting an update regardless, here it is, showing what my city looks like now; same as it did the last time I showed it.  Really sorry guys. I simply cannot show what doesn't exist.

Again, as I say constantly, when there's something new to show in my city, I will and do show it!

Bionicle / Hero Factory MOC: Zeyek

Now here's a subject you don't see me covering much anymore -- Bionicle!  Though I crossed the character to the Hero Factory universe, good old Zeyek will always be most fondly remembered from his days as a Bionicle chronicler.  This here is the first time I've really highlighted the simple figure on video, including highlighting his transforming feature that nobody noticed before1
