Sky Turret Defense - MEGA Bloks Skylanders Giants set with Chill

Now with the Battle Portal reviews completed I am working on reviewing all the playsets that I have from MEGA Bloks. The latest one is the Sky Turret Defense with Chill. I received this from MEGA Bloks to try out and review. Here is what I thought of it.

The Sky Turret Defense looks like it came right out of the Skylanders Giants game. There is a Heroic Challenge where the player has to jump into four or five different turrets and shoot down toxic barrels. At first I thought this was an impossible level but once I figured out the timing I was all over it. This playset recreates that turret defense system perfectly. I love the detail of the hoses and the canisters on the back of the turret as well as the opening and closing hatch. In the game the hatch pops open so that the player can jump into the turret and shoot down various targets.

I love Andrew and his fun and excited ways. He freaks out when I come downstairs screaming Dada. He is now asking people for “up”. He comes toddling over in his drunken wobbly walk and lifts his arms and face up to you pleading to be picked up. Most of the time once he is up he twists like a whirling dervish and attempts to throw himself to the floor. He has to be completely dead asleep to lay softly and quietly on my shoulder. But when he does it is the best feeling ever. Getting him out of the car when he is asleep and he lifts his eyes sleepily, gives a tiny smile and lays his head on my shoulder and I melt.

Of course I did not dare touch him in this bean and guacamole state of his. I had to run to work.
