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.
STAR WARS: The Last Jedi is arriving in theaters this December but the excitement kicks off this Friday with Force Friday II. Force Friday is the day when new Star Wars toys are released. Two years ago before The Force Awakens I was part of campaign to promote the movie and Force Friday. It was an awesome campaign. However, this year, nothing for me except me except for a Press Release about the day and something new with Augmented Reality. This year you can use your mobile phones to reveal a new Star Wars Character and in various locations around the world you can use the Star Wars app to turn major landmarks into something Star Wars related. Also, many places are doing something special all around. You can see what is happening by going to http://www.starwars.com/news/force-friday-ii-guide-to-events-giveaways-and-more.
In Massachusetts you can go to the Burlington Mall and at the Disney Store there you can get all the new toys plus activities, giveaway and a special Find the Force augmented reality treasure hunt where you can unlock characters with the Star Wars app. More info below.
