We received a Playmobil NHL Hockey Arena to play with and review. Opinions of the arena are 100% my own.
While we are not the biggest sports people around, we do enjoy sports toys. When we were offered the chance to review the Playmobil NHL Hockey Arena we were so excited to try it out. Andrew was jumping all around wanting to play as soon as I opened the box. Putting it together was very easy with minimal directions. That is a great thing about Playmobil toys, they consistently go together quickly and easily. I was done with the major assembly in less than 15 minutes. Then I applied the stickers one half of the arena at a time so that Andrew could play with the hockey players while I worked.
Speaking of stickers, the hockey arena has official NHL logo stickers and logo decals of all the 30 NHL teams. The toy looks sharp. I applied one of the Bruins’ logo decals to center ice as well as another NHL logo. Now I’m thinking that we should be on the lookout for some more Bruins players to play with. I made a little video of us using the Playmobil NHL Hockey Arena.
I am a Netflix #StreamTeam and as such receive compensation from Netflix. I feel that I must disclose this when I talk about Netflix shows and what I think about them. Opinions are 100% my own.
This isn’t even a particular #StreamTeam post that I have to do as part of the team, I just really enjoyed Marvel’s Luke Cage. Luke Cage is the latest in the various Marvel shows on Netflix. Each show is 13 episodes packed with so much action, drama and Marvel Easter Eggs.
Luke Cage came out on September 30th with all 13 episodes. I dove right in and binged all of season 1. I have been reading many Marvel titles on the Marvel Unlimited app. Reading though all the Marvel Civil War and then New Avengers and so many other titles I’ve gotten to know the story of Luke Cage and the character from the comic books. This show was so well done and I couldn’t put all of my thoughts into that one minute vlog. I cannot believe that I said Donald Faison when I meant Frankie Faison. I thought that one of the breakout stars of the show was Simone Missick as Misty Knight. She had such character. I just loved her scenes. There was s much to enjoy about this series. Mike Colter made an excellent Luke Cage. He just got that character down. I loved the Easter eggs like the Tiara and the yellow blouse. That was great! Now I have to wait to see the next series which would be Iron Fist and then The Defenders unless there is another Daredevil or Jessica Jones before that.
There are plenty of action scenes in this show but it is the moments where the characters speak to each other that are the most compelling. The relationship between Luke Cage and Misty Knight has depth and complexity. They play off each other very well. Later another character shows up and she and Luke come together in a different way. Their relationship is also complex but through it we learn even more. I need to watch the last 10 minutes of episode 13 again because of all the little things that are teased for the future. I cannot wait for it, I think I’ll have to watch all the shows again, this time with Allison. Here’s what I said in my vlog today.
I also teased a few things that I’ll be featuring on the vlog this coming week.
