National Cereal Day 2017 – I’m No Longer Switchless

National Cereal Day
Photo-A-Day #4347

Today was National Cereal Day 2017. General Mills Cereals sent me a care package for celebrating National Cereal Day. In it was a box of Golden Grahams, some items for taking selfies and more photos as well as decorations. I made a couple of things for the family. I made some Golden Grahams S’mores and some Lucky Charms Pancakes. I mixed up the mixture last night to actually make waffles but today was also national pancake day so I changed my mind this morning. Last night I also made up the Golden Grahams S’mores and they were very easy to make.

Today was also the day that I received my Nintendo Switch. I tried making an unboxing video and it was okay. It was hard to video something that has such a shiny screen. I was able to play a little of The Legend of Zelda as well as some of Skylanders Imaginators. I’ve got many ideas for future videos to make, now I have to figure out the best way to do it. Here is my unboxing video.

Marvel LEGO Set Review: Iron Man: Detroit Steel Strikes #76077

Detroit Steel Strikes
Photo-A-Day #4346

Last week Brian and I recorded three episodes of Built from Bricks. One of the segments was a side-by-side speed build of the LEGO set Iron Man: Detroit Steel Strikes. This is set number 76077. While filming I forgot that the camera only films 15 minutes at a time and then stops. So, as we built and we talked the camera stopped. We missed the entire end of the video where we see who won the speed build. You’ll have to wait to find out which of us built Lola faster.

Today Andrew and I built the rest of the set. We built Iron man, Justin Hammer and Detroit Steel. I like the whole set. There are some great pieces in it including Lola, Coulson and Detroit Steel. Iron man comes with these little pieces that clip on to his hands and then when you press on them they pop off and fire at the bad guys. Detroit Steel has a Gatling gun on one arm and a giant saw on the other. It is pretty posable as well.

I also decided that while shooting the photos I would incorporate Brian’s SigFig into the shoot. Poor Brian caught up in Detroit Steel’s grip.
