The fine folks from Playmobil sent me several set of their Dino Rise series for free in a large mystery box so that I could unbox them for you and then provided reviews of each set. This review is of the set Deinonychus: Ready for Battle (70629) and also Pteranodon: Drone Strike (70628)
I love PLAYMOBIL. My cousin had a bunch of it growing up and I loved playing at his house because we had such fun creating stories and playing. I would have been all over this new series called Dino Rise because we have armored dinosaurs vs giant mechs! There is a whole backstory around the series that I explore in the unboxing videos below. Take a look at each one.
I also did one for the Pteranodon: Drone Strike (70628). This set had more pieces than the first one. I love the Pteranodon, Donnie.
And here is the unboxing video.
You can find these sets on Amazon.com and if you would use my affiliate links that would help us out. Thank you.
It has been a long time but today we went to Capron Park Zoo. There has been a fun an exhibit in the Zoo for a while. It is called Brick Live and the installation is of life sized animals made from LEGO bricks. Allison and I had seen them being installed and we notice them when we walk around the park. We had every intention to go see this before today but never got around to it. Today we went and the kids had a great time. We used to go to the zoo all the time when the kids were little. It was nice to walk around and talk about the kids about their memories at the zoo.
There were a few exhibits that I really liked. Near the end of our time at the zoo we saw that there was even a LEGO Jeep for the kids to sit in. It made me think of all the times that I had taken the kids to the zoo and they loved to play with the ride on coin-op toys.
My favorite one of the exhibits was the LEGO Tiger. We can see that one through the fence from the park.
