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. I was older when ti came out and I never got into it. I wasn’t interested in the TV show or collecting the cards either. I do like building sets, and so when we were asked to review these I said sure.

MEGA Construx does a nice job of creating sets that feature current characters and properties like Despicable Me and the Minions and now Pokémon. The way that you can build each little Pokémon character is done nicely. You actually build the little heads of the characters rather then them being molded pieces. I like this because the heads go on with ball in socket connections so that you can move the heads all around. This makes for better poses while playing. Andrew built these sets himself and he did a great job following the directions with a little help. You can see more about each of the sets and also find a link to their official pages.

Stacking Concentration


Photo-A-Day #3633

Andrew was helping me stack up some blocks today. We were over at my mom’s house meeting up with my sister Tara and Erik. They were taking us to lunch after swimming lessons. Andrew was concentrating so hard on the stacking. He even tried two at a time. That worked for a little bit before both towers came tumbling down.

We had a nice lunch with Tara and Erik. Andrew got spaghetti and meatballs so he was all about eating and slurping. He was pretty tired, though. He was so tired that on the ride home I could hear him snoring over my super loud car. Then he slept for two hours and so did I.
