Well, after an epic few sessions of Lego building, where we reviewed the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 Lego sets “Ravager Attack” and “Ayesha’s Revenge“, we finally come to the grand finale – the biggest set of the bunch.

Fatherhood: Review – Lego Guardians of the Galaxy 2: Ayesha’s Revenge (76080)
Today we’ll be reviewing the next model in the new Lego “Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol 2” range, “Ayesha’s Revenge”.

Fatherhood: Review – Lego Guardians of the Galaxy 2: Ravager Attack (76079)
When it comes to blogging, I’ve always told myself that I need to maintain an even mix of reviews and other less-commercial content.

Fatherhood: Review – Lego Super Heroes Iron Man: Detroit Steel Strikes
When I first heard that this Lego set was being released, I got way more excited than you’d probably imagine a grown-up man getting. Not because I’m a huge “Detroit Steel” fan, but because of the other Marvel Hero introduced in this set. The character in question is possibly the most pivotal in the entire…
