An Off-Road Adventure with MEGA Bloks American Builders

Epic Off-Road Adventure from MEGA Bloks American Builders

We were sent the new MEGA Bloks American Builders set Jeep Off-Road Adventure to try out and review. Our set said World Builders but that was because I got one with International Packaging. Here are our opinions of the set.

MEGA Bloks has a line of toys called American Builders. This toy line has had brands like CAT and John Deere. Most recently Jeep has been added to the line with a few different Jeep themed sets. The biggest set is the 770 piece Jeep Off-Road Adventure set that we got to enjoy as a family.

Skylanders Swap Force Happy Meals


Photo-A-Day #3275

I received a box of fun McDonald’s Skylanders Swap Force Toys. There are 8 new toys from Skylanders Swap Force which includes characters like: Free Ranger, Wash Buckler, Rattle Shake, Magna Charge and Freeze Blade, Eruptor, Prism Break and a Chompie. They are pretty fun looking characters and they each have a little gimmick.

The program will be running from March 28 to April 24th. Also inside each package is a coupon for $10 off the Skylanders SWAP Force Starter Pack and $1 off a Skylanders character.

Eruptor and Prism Break both light up. Free Ranger spins like a top. Wash Buckler moves in a crazy way. The Chompie opens and closes its mouth and Rattle Shake, Freeze Blade and Magna charge have projectiles that fly out when you push on them, they are not spring loaded but rather fly when kids push on the end of the projectiles.

My favorite of the set is Rattle Shake. He looks great and even has a flying snake projectile.
