Review: New Pokémon sets from Mega Construx

MEGAContrux Pokemon

We received some Mega Construx sets for free to play with and review. Opinions are 100% our own.

We received two sets to play with and they were the Charmander vs. Squirtle battle pack and the Machop and pokeball set. Andrew and I don’t really know much about Pokémon.

Taking Andrew to Play Group every Thursday and Friday has been fun. I spend time building with the blocks so that Andrew can come and smash them to pieces with the tiny play vacuum cleaner.
