I have been a big fan of Lego games ever since I was a little kid; so naturally I was rather curious about the new play sets that they have created for kids. One of these sets is the new Minotaurus game, which I decided to try out with some friends. To play this game, one has to maneuver hero pieces across the maze, where they have to avoid the dreaded Minotaur who guards a hidden temple deep inside the mazes. Each person has to outmaneuver his opponents by putting wall blocks in their paths and try to be the first to reach the hidden temple.

Included in this Lego Minotaurus Game set are 1 buildable LEGO Dice, 1 rule booklet, 1 building instruction booklet and 12 LEGO micro-figures. There is a total of 224 pieces in this Lego set.

LEGO Minotaurus Game Features:

• Suitable for kids of all ages
• Durable and versatile
• Accessories included

The die is made up of rubber, including the edges, and that makes them bounce in different directions.  Kids will love this and it is quite hilarious to see them bounce in all directions; it’s very amusing to play indeed! This is a perfect game to play on a Sunday afternoon with the whole family; it can provide a fun filled experience and be quite relaxing as well.

The game can be played for about twenty to thirty minutes at a time.  We even tried to set up our own set of rules and found out that the game can be played according to your own preferences and taste. In fact, it’s not necessary to have kids when you want to play this game; a set of adult friends or family can really enjoy this one just the same.

The game can also help sharpen your development skills; as gamers can try and create new sets of rules for this toy set a they go. The design and structure of the game can easily be changed and adjusted to your own preference. One of the great things that I like about this game is that the pieces are made up of Lego pieces, so I can add more pieces using my older Lego games. The toy set can then become as  customizable as a race car.

The only problem that I encountered while playing with this game set is that the size of the Lego pieces might be rather small for most people to move around. They are similar in size as the regular Lego pieces, so it can sometimes be hard to move them around the close spaces of the maze. Kids might find it difficult to manage the small size of the maze, but they will definitely love the puzzling ways across the Minotaurus game set. The walls can become too much for some; and may prove to be difficult later in the game.

If you’re into game development, I would highly suggest that you get this toy set. It would be great to practice and develop one’s game mechanic skills and use the toy set to come up with different set of rules and regulations.

Fisher Price has come up with a new play set that features the exciting and ever-so-adorable characters from the top grossing movie Toy Story 3 by Disney and Pixar. This time the setting is a Tri County Landfill Junkyard; where characters from the movie Lotso, Buzz and the Three Little Green Aliens are featured. There are three levels of play available for kids;  and it features a giant scoop that dumps the characters into the trash sorter which is connected to the two conveyor belts that leads to the incinerator. Such accuracy and homage to the original film makes it even more lovable and interesting; especially for people that have already watched this blockbuster movie.

They are also great to be played with along with other toy sets that are part of the Toy Story 3 line.

It’s also a wonderful item to use for display purposes; use it to brag to your colleagues and friends and show them that you are indeed a big Toy Story fan.

However, a minor problem with this toy set might be the fact that the orange scoop that comes along with it may not always stay in its place. You might have to resort to other means to keep it together such as a rubber band or other adhesive.

The manufacturer recommends that the toy set be played by children ages 3 years old and up. The Tri County Landfill Junkyard toy set weighs around eight pounds and shipping is offered worldwide. Overall this is a great gift for any child and it will provide endless hours of fun and laughter for the whole family.

Sing-A-Ma-Jigs are musically gifted and unique little critters that kids all over the world enjoy playing with. Made by Fisher Price, these creatures sing in their own unique language which is a lot of fun for adults and kids alike. When they are playing by themselves, these Sing-A-Ma-Jigs can perform their own favorite songs and notes. If they are played together with other Sing-A-Ma-Jigs, they form a group that creates a beautiful chorale. The part I enjoy most is playing these toys together to form a dazzling group performance; these unique, cuddly, and cute creatures can certainly entertain!

The Sing-A-Ma-Jig is made up of a soft, thick fabric. These creatures are customized with a beautifully printed T-shirt which can easily be replaced with other shirts. These shirts are secured with a Velcro strip, making it convenient for kids to replace the toy’s shirts.

Each Sing-A-Ma-Jig comes with three playing modes: song mode, chatter mode, and harmonize mode. Kids can change their playing modes by pressing the Sing-A-Ma-Jig’s tummies and hands. When in song mode, kids can choose the tempo of the songs that the toy performs, slowing it down or speeding it up as he or she wishes. To create a lovely harmony, groups of Sing-A-Ma-Jigs should be clumped together and their tummies pressed at the same time. The more Sing-A-Ma-Jigs together, the better the harmony would turn out.

The Sing-A-Ma-Jigs come in different colors that kids would love to collect and play with. The shape of the ear of each Sing-A-Ma-Jig are also found in variations. Even their singing pitch are diverse for each version. Kids would find amusing to view the miniscule teeth and tongue inside the moving mouths of the Sing-A-Ma-Jig. In fact, I found the toy hard to put down when I found out how cute they can be when they move their mouths. It would be addictive for anyone to press the bellies of these toys and watch their funny teeth.

The Sing-A-Ma-Jigs Features:

• Made from a soft, durable material
• Suitable for kids from as young as 36 months
• Can be customized with various printed T-shirts
• The tempo of the songs performed can be adjusted
• Comes with batteries included

The Sing-A-Ma-Jig doll comes with two AA size batteries and it is recommended for children aged from 36 months to six years. I believe this would be a great gift for adults who need something to cheer them up in their offices or at home. It will definitely bring a smile to anyone, regardless of age; just as it made me smile when I first saw this toy. One of the problems I encountered while trying this toy is that sometimes it can be hard to press their bellies in order for them to emit sounds. Some kids may find it hard to press them; and the toy can also shut down rather quickly if they are not pressed regularly.

Regardless, this toy is a great investment. I also found out that the toy is safe for kids to play with, clean, and surprisingly  durable. The best thing that it says after you play it is “See you later!”, making me look forward to playing it again. I recommend buying more than one of these Sing-A-Ma-Jigs so that one can really enjoy how these critters harmonize.
