2nd Day at Legoland! A surprise from my mom and dad!

My mom and dad took us back to Legoland for the 2nd time on our trip. I was so surprised! We got to ride the rides again and I got to go on some I had missed.

One of the best parts of our second day was I got to trade the mini figures with the park staff. My mom gave me one when we got there, when I opened it , it was the werewolf, I traded it first for the Viking, then a ninja, then a hockey player and finally and artist!
Then my mom bought another mystery pack and it was a Sailor.

I got to go to the big shop again with my family and we got another small Legoland treat. I got another Hero Factory 3.0 Stringer!  I had so much fun at Legoland for the second time! We did not do the water park this time but it was so much fun!

I can not wait for the new ling of Mini figures due out this August!
That's all for now!

Greetings from Legoland!

We just came back from a day at Legoland in California. It was so much fun. My favorite part was ALL OF IT! They had the a mini land that had a Starwars section that was so cool and they had cities and towns made all out of Lego blocks! They also had really cool rides and awesome Mini-Figures that were bigger then regular people.
Lego land also had a water park that looks like it was made out of real Lego. My favorite part of the water park was the water cannons in the far end of the park.
My brother Oliver's favorite part of the water park was the waterslides! They even had a pool and play area for my little brother Alex who is 3.
They had some really cool old Lego, and stuff from when Lego made toys out of wood in the restaurant.
The shopping was the best! I got  a Hero Factory helmet and new Nex 3.0 figure from my Aunt in the Lego Big shop.

You can even trade the mini figures with the park staff but we did not do that. It looked like lots of fun though.
I think anyone who likes Lego and water parks would really like Legoland! My mom bought some cool post cards for my friends too, she mailed them today.

"Cutup" is a hero factory figure that has never been scene in Hero Factory before because he is a character that I have made up. He is mostly white and black and has an red head and white helmet. I made him out of parts of other hero factory figures. Here is how I built "CUTUP" and how you can too.

A review of the Lego Board Game Magikus

Today I got the Lego game called Magikus. I got it from my Mom. I played the game with my brother Oliver, my Mom and my Aunty Maggie. Today was the first day of summer vacation and it was raining so my mom bought it at Toys R US and thought it would be a great rainy day game to play.

When I  opened the box I had to make the game board. It was easy to build.There were not too many pieces. It only took a few minutes to build.  It is a 2-4 player game. I played the game with my mom, brother and Aunt.The point of the game is to collect all the magical ingredients  in order to cast the spell and win the game. My brother Oliver went first because the rules say that the youngest goes first.  First thing each player has to do is move the owl, then roll the dice. When you roll the dice you take the item from the game board shelf that matches the color from the dice, in the row that the owl is on.
I won the game by getting all the ingredients first.
When the game was over  I asked everyone what they liked about the game. My brother Oliver liked the owl piece best. My Aunty Maggie liked the part where if you roll on black you get to steal someones ingredients and Aunty Maggie stole my mother's game piece. My mother's favorite part of the game is that the game cost under $20 and the game took less then 20 minutes to play.  I liked building the game board best.


I am looking forward to playing the game again and changing the rules to make the game more challenging like the guide book included suggests.

Meet Meltdown and Striggner my Lego Hero Factory Figures

Yesterday my grandparents called me over to their house to give me a present. It was the last day of school and I was given the Hero Factory Toy called MELTDOWN.

Meltdown is so cool he has only one eye and a mouth with sharp looking teeth. Meltdowns weapons are a poisoned whip  and a cannon.

To load both weapons in the movie Lego Hero Factory  he uses gastronomic pressure to power his weapons.

 This is a photo of Meltdown put together.

His arch enemy is Stringer. Stringer has a cannon that produces yellow sound waves in the movie.
What I like best about Stringer besides the fact he is my favorite colors is how cool he looks both in the movie and as a figure.  Meltdown is awesome because he is a great villain from the series.
Meltdown took me just under 5 minutes to put together and makes a great gift! Check out Lego Hero Factory toys and moives at your store or on line at Lego Hero Factory Toys from Indigo or at Toys R US
I look forward to sharing more Lego posts with you soon,
