Stoffel76 Posted December 4, 2015 Share My daughter has Friends Lego and Barbie Megabloks... The Megabloks just doesn't feel quite the same or go together as well as the Lego... you can't beat the original!! She got the Barbie Megabloks first and it was really frustrating at first, trying to build cool stuff out of the pretty limited pieces meant to make salons and pet shops, but then as she got more Friend Lego, the possibilities started to expand and I was able to create this: http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn94/stoffel30/10891816_913723148651537_6398216928288859766_n_zps1lte9549.jpg But it turned out the Friends Lego scorpion wasn't compatible with the Megabloks Barbie... http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn94/stoffel30/1491729_914231385267380_5914197982438346633_n_zpsxyrozkku.jpg Then the arrival of a Lego Juice Bar set, resulted in a Planet 57 inspired hover laser craft: http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn94/stoffel30/DSC_0366_zpszfbczksc.jpg And then the other day, I managed 3 spacecraft/fighters with what was left after we built the Barbie's a house... http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn94/stoffel30/DSC_0021_zpsnzk3xvvi.jpg Actually, I don't care what I build, some of the best conversations I've had with my daughter have been while sitting on her bedroom floor building Lego...

Stoffel76 Posted December 4, 2015 Share Apparently my brother-in-law is spoiling his niece this Christmas with this: http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Ariel-s-Undersea-Palace-41063 Guess I'll be building Lego with my daughter on Christmas Day... (and then trying to work out some more 'interesting' creations... I may also buy her a small set that has a car in it... I'm desperate for some wheels to work with!! ) Amberdrake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amberdrake Posted December 5, 2015 Share Just buy some of creator sets I happened to see bike shop today in Toys r us thinking of going to get it! Super cool looking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tumbleweed Posted December 5, 2015 Share Just buy some of creator sets I happened to see bike shop today in Toys r us thinking of going to get it! Super cool looking I've got that set! I've put it next to my train station...which also contained a bike and bike rack.There are stickers on the train carriages to show where bikes would be accommodated. Also, the bike shop has a coffee shop next door: bikes and beans! Can't beat that! Edited December 5, 2015 by Tumbleweed Amberdrake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
