Mega Bloks Ultimate Action Dragon Destroyer

Earlier, I gave you some background on Dragons Universe....a world where it's man vs. beast, or specifically, human soldiers battling against alient-like dragons! YIKES!  Kids love this kind of stuff, and they will LOVE the detailed toys that are in the Dragons Universe collection.

I had the opportunity to check out the Mega Bloks Ultimate Action Dragon Destroyer which includes two dragons, a ship, a removable dragon blaster with electronic battle sounds and light fx!!!  There are built-in flight controllers, which makes this "pretend" play seem pretty dang real!!!!

I cannot get over how cool and intricate these toys are. In my last post I mentioned that my 24-four-year old brother would love these, and as I was writing up my review (and playing away!!!), my husband could not help but become interested, too! He commented that he wished he had these to play with as a kid!

Mega Bloks Thomas Adventure on Misty Island


Are you looking for an amazingly fun gift this holiday season that won't break the bank but really presents as a "big" present? I can help you with that. If you know any little people who are about 2-4 years old, more than likely you know someone who is a fan of trains. More specifically, you know someone who is a fan of THOMAS!!!

Mega Bloks has partnered with Thomas to bring to you Mega Bloks Thomas Adventure on Misty Island, a 101 piece set for 3+ year olds.  This set contains buildable Thomas and James trains, tunnels, barricades, canyons, tracks, and of course enough pieces to build a tall mountain that both Thomas and James can ride up, down and around!!!

Forget about stretching the train track as far as the eyes can see, this set challenges children to go higher and higher, with neat accessories to make their experience very life life (or just like the show!).  My daughter and niece LOVE trains and are so smitten with this set! They love building the track and making Thomas and James go-go-go!!!

This is a really innovative set and the added dimension of height takes it to a new level of coolness!

You do not want to miss out on this one, pick one up today!

Mega Bloks Deluxe Dual-Blast Dragon Hunter

Have you heard about Dragons Universe yet? If not, sit back and be prepared to be impressed!  Dragons Universe is about another world where it is man vs. beast.  In this imaginary world that is immune to time and space, the soliders battle alien-like dragons called Predavors.

Intrigued yet?

Made by Mega Bloks for children aged 6-15, this 151-piece Dual-Blast Dragon Hunter set will surely excite the boys on your list this holiday season.  The set includes a fully buildable Dragon Hunter and a Predavor Dragon!

Equipped with missile launchers that really fire, a flight controller that facilitates real flight, lights and real flight sounds, this toy is a must-have for all little boys this year. My brother (at 24 years old) would STILL love this toy!

Mega Bloks Play'n Go Musical Train



By now you know my family is a huge fan of Mega Bloks. I loved the Pirate Ship, and I still love the basic block sets that they sell, and it seems they just keep coming up with more and more to help expand imaginary play skills in toddlers and young children.

I recently had the opportunity to check out the Play'n Go Musical Train that is out on the shelves this holiday season. My daughter went ga-ga for it! She loves the characters, the music, and the train that goes with the touch of it's smokestack. I love it's farm theme, I love the fact that children can build the track, but that it's not overwhelming. There are 20 pieces, including two train cars, a farmer, a cow and a sheep. We practice animal sounds while building, singing and playing. What a blast!

My daughter recently began to express a love of trains and yells "Choo choooo" whenever we approach a train station and now she is smitten with the fact that she can play "choo choo's" whenever she pleases!!

Mega Bloks Pull Along Musical Pirate Ship

This toy is SO neat. There are many great toys out there, but so often they seem to fit in the same old mold. If there is one thing little kids (especially little boys) love, it's PIRATE SHIPS!

Take the coolness of a pirate ship, add in the fact that it's big, colorful, and chunky (perfect for little hands), add in the even greater fact that it is MUSICAL---you have a win-win toy! My daughter absolutely loves this toy and pulls it all over the house.

The Pirate Ship set contains 20 pieces and makes for hours of fun imaginative play!  Each time the boat is pulled, a sweet little pirate song plays, which encourages those new walkers to keep testing out their skills!!

The set also includes a pirate, two sharks, a monkey, a canon, and a working trapdoor!!!




It's really nice to see something so cool available to the little guys!

MEGA Bloks Building Imagination Bag Classic 80 pcs

There is nothing my daughter likes more than big, chunky, colorful toys-----and she just recently learned to build with what she calls "bocks".  She loves building with blocks but as a young little one, she has a lot of difficulty balancing blocks without constantly knocking them down accidentally.


Enter: MEGA Bloks
.

They are big, they are chunky (perfect for little hands!), they are colorful (hello, great for teaching colors naturally!!), and oh, can we ever build with them!  MEGA Bloks are recommended for toddlers who are 1+ years old- mainly because a child needs to have some fine motor control when using these. That being said, at 18-months-old my daughter LOVES these!!!! At two-years-old, my niece LOVES these!  At 27-years-old, I LOVE these!!!

It says so right on the packaging (a durable bag with a zipper that can be used over and over again---great for taking to Grandma's house, too!), the possibilities are endless and I have to say, we have not yet come close to getting bored with our Bloks.  We build horsies, barns, characters from our favorite tv shows and books, family members, cars, even food!

These Bloks are perfect for boys or girls, which is always nice for play dates, siblings and family gatherings--they can ALL enjoy it!
