Now through Nov. 20 Mattel’s brick building brand, MEGA™, is running a holiday sweepstakes offering one grand prize winner $1000 in brick building products. That is a whole lot of bricks! I’m excited about it. I have always enjoyed the MEGA brands. I’m sure that you can go back through this blog and my YouTube channel to find many posts and videos with me and MEGABloks. I’ve also worked with MEGAConstrux and most recently posted about some Despicable Me 3 toys.
To enter the sweepstakes entrants must post a photo to Instagram or Twitter and include a caption detailing why the entrant likes to give or receive construction toys as gifts for children. The post must also include the hashtags #MEGAHolidays and #Sweepstakes, and the entrant must be following @MegaConstrux and @MegaBloks. You can find full sweepstakes rules here.
It has been a little while since I’ve done a complete Toy Haul type video. I’ve been picking a few things up recently and looking at how I can better show the toys as I review, unbox and talk about them. I picked up a new little table to use after seeing one at Brian’s house. I’ll be using that in tomorrow’s video. The toys I mention int his post are for reviews that I want to do on my other blog, Big Damn Kid. I’m trying to break it up a bit with all the Transformers comic books.
Speaking of those. I have been feverishly trying to get way ahead on them because of next week’s trip to San Diego for Dad 2.0. I’m real excited to get out there but I don’t want to lose the momentum of the new channel. I can’t exactly say why I’m going so hard after it since it isn’t really generating an audience yet. I will have to start watching some Transformers videos and see if I can attract anyone to the new channel and blog. I love Transformers and it has been years of my collecting them. I even went to my parent’s this past week and looked through my collection. I didn’t do too much crawling around to get to everything but there are quite a few boxes in the attic. I’d like to go through my whole collection as individual review videos. Some unboxing videos and more. We’ll see. For now I have the video below of some of my more recent purchases.
