Today we’ll be reviewing the next model in the new Lego “Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol 2” range, “Ayesha’s Revenge”. As with the first set (“Ravager Attack”) it’s a model inspired by the upcoming sequel – and like the other model, features a couple of elements that will probably make a lot more sense once…

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. Partly because I didn’t start blogging to review products – I started because I wanted to share some of the joys (and challenges) of parenting with my fellow parents. But also in…
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…
Fatherhood: Review – Lego Super Hero Mighty Micros 2
Having bought the kids the complete set of Super Hero “Mighty Micros” sets last year for their birthdays, we have been eagerly awaiting the release of more from the series. Thankfully, we weren’t disappointed – this year sees the release of a whole new set! Just like the first series, this line comprises of 3…
Fatherhood: Review – Chalkola Pens
Despite having only dropped into the Henry’s Blog mailbox this month (also known as the work pigeon hole in the Good Relations offices), the Chalkola Markers I’ve been reviewing for this post have turned out to be one of my favourite reviews of 2016. Sure, it helps that I’m already a bit of a liquid…
Fatherhood: Review – Lego Star Wars Advent Calendar, 2016
Most of you who follow or know me will already be aware of my fascination with Lego – so when I was asked if I wanted to review the 2016 Lego Star Wars Advent Calendar, I obviously jumped at the chance. After my initial excitement, I realised I was in a bit of a strange…
Fatherhood: Review – Lego Star Wars ‘Tie Striker’ Rogue One Set
Today is an exciting day. It might not seem like much to you, but today I have fulfilled a dream which I have been working towards for nearly five years – ever since I started this very blog, in fact. Yes, today (well, very recently anyway) I was asked to review a new Lego set….
Fatherhood: Review – My First Scalextric
As most of you will know by now, I very rarely turn down the opportunity to review a new toy – it’s basically one of the main reasons I started blogging in the first place, let’s be honest. So when the nice people at Hornby asked if we’d like to give their new ‘My First…
Fatherhood: Review – Nickelodeon Turtle Power!
As with most of my reviews, I should probably start this particular one with a disclaimer: I don’t pretend to be a consumer champion, an expert reviewer or (as you can probably tell) a genius wordsmith. To be honest, I’m not even sure why people bother to ask me to review stuff. But ask me…
Fatherhood: Review – Science4you Play Sets
I was recently contacted by a lovely lady from a website called ‘Science4You‘, who asked if the boys and I would like to review some of their sets. Having never heard of the site before, but being intrigued enough by the name, I accepted happily and awaited my parcel in the following week’s post. The…
