Orbeez Wow World is a magical world of cute, spritely creatures who live in globes full of clear Orbeez beads. Uncover your Wowzer friend by adding some water to the globe! These toys wowed us last year, and now you can find Series 2 in store March 1! Series 2 is super cute, and features a Garden of Wonder - so appropriate for the coming of spring! Once you add water, twirl your Wowzer around inside her globe, and watch her dance. You can also empty out the water so easily, so you can remove your new little figure. Series 3 is even more magical with Polar Magic, and will be available Fall 2019. With series 3, we will finally have color changing Wowzer pets! I am so excited about this new development. Orbeez Wow World is such a fun and extraordinary line of surprise toys, and now adding the color change element to their storyline really adds that touch of whimsy it needed. Orbeez Wow World are $5.99 and can be found at Target, Walmart, and Amazon.






Good things come to those who sparkle, and new for 2019 will be Sparkle Surprise, a brand new way to discover new Orbeez Wow World friends with a brand new storyline too.

The globe is chunkier, has a fun cloud motif, it has a handle for easy transport, and full of sparkle. You can find this on store shelves August 1, 2019, for $14.99 each. 




Next is a whole new line of surprise toys called Foodie Roos! Foodie Roos are small plush toys in awesome containers that can be used to hold the Foodie Roo plush. What’s so amazing about Foodie Roos are the scents - they really do smell like the food they depict to be - the popcorn Foodie Roo friend smells like freshly popped, buttery popcorn, and when you give it a squeeze, you will be surprised to feel that it really does feel like popcorn is inside! Packaged inside a “peek a roo” container where only their sweet eyes are visible, you never know which Foodie Roo friend you’ll find!

When it’s time for your Foodie Roo to go to sleep, close up his room, and cover the container - you have a fully contained surprise toy here with barely any trash!

There is also a mirror inside to check yourself out while wearing your new design. 









Maya Toys has a great games line, Maya Games, and their games are really setting them apart from their amazing tactile toys. Games like Monkey Trix and Flying Fryin’ Donuts really sets them apart from regular games geared toward little kids; kids are testing their fine motor skills and agility all while having a blast! Perfect to kick off the summer is Let it Fly, which is a two person game. One person is the attacker and the other is the blocker. You have to try and block your opponent from slinging back the sticky fly to the backboard. Three rounds will prove who will be victorious in this game! Another fun game is Shoot the Poop - it’s simple, fling your poop in the toilet! You and your opponent are prompted to ready, aim, and fire your poop at the toilet. There are two different colored poops to differentiate each player. Don’t forget to flush! Big thank you to Maya Toys for the awesome tour at New York Toy Fair! I love Foodie Roos, and how you get to test so many senses and are able to add in some pretend play, too!

New York Toy Fair 2019 LEGO Movie 2 Wave 2 LEGO Builds Late April 2019 Release Rexcelsior, Queen Wat'evra's Palace and more!




It’s LEGO Movie 2 time with four new sets to buy for wave 2! I got a sneak peek of The LEGO 2 Movie Wave 2 LEGO sets at New York Toy Fair in the LEGO Booth! 


Wave 2 of the next LEGO 2 Movie LEGO sets will be coming out late April 2019, early May 2019. There will be four sets to build and add to your collections! For some reason, I only have footage of three of the four sets! The one I am missing is the coolest one, it’s #70842 Emmet’s Triple Dek Couch Mech, it has so much room to hold overpriced cups of coffee, a claw arm, and even coffee mugs controls to drive. A bristle brush tailed Rampage Kitty looks on annoyed as ever. This set is $29.99, and for ages eight and up. This will be available at Target. 





Next is #70838 Queen Watevra’s ‘So-Not-Evil’ Space Palace - this set is so cool! There are so many elements and little details here that I kept coming back to this set over and over. This set is $99.99, and for ages eight and up. This set is massive at 18” tall, and looks like it would be a fun build with all of the open and close pods, balconies, and all of the little food elements…I’m surprised no lobster thermidor for Batman. I love his suit in this set.  



#70837 Shimmer and Shine Sparkle Spa! Is he perfect place to relax and take a brick off. There is a hot tub, buildable massage table, and eight characters from the movie that will be sure to be helpful in recreating scenes from the movie. I love Wyldstyle’s real hair color, and that it’s now in minifig form!! This set is for ages seven and up and will be $69.99.



Finally, The Rexcelsior is a huge build and will be a perfect addition to finalize your LEGO Movie 2 collection. With 1,826 pieces, it is the largest build of the whole LEGO Movie 2 collection. It will be sold for $149.99 and includes Rex and Emmett. I don’t want to give too much away in the movie so I will be quiet. Otherwise, this is Rex’s ship, and it’s cool! The two mini figures includes are  Stubble Trouble Emmet and Rex Dangervest. It also includes micro builds like Emmet’s house, two micro figures, two interaptors, and a dropship. The ship itself is over a foot long has open and close doors with lift-off roofs for an easier play experience, boosters, dual micro figure cockpit, 6-missile spring-loaded shooter, inside a detailed interior with various rooms and compartments, and so much more! It is definitely worth the price tag. 


Also, check out the complete collection of the LEGO Movie 2 Minifigures. The Tin Man is my favorite! 



In addition to LEGO builds for LEGO Movie 2, you can find other awesome products like 3D bag tags perfect for backpacks or luggage, watches with interchangeable elements, backpacks, lunch boxes, clothing, and busy books including stickers, coloring pages, and more.

New York Toy Fair 2019 LEGO Hidden Side Out LEGO Sets are HAUNTED! Amazing Sets, Awesome AR Technology! New LEGO Experience in our home!




At New York Toy Fair, I learned that LEGO will be releasing a totally new way to experience LEGO with their amazing new series, Hidden Side.






LEGO takes on the phenomenon of ghost hunting and pairs it with their amazing LEGO sets in the new series Hidden Side. I am super excited about this as we can now use Augmented Reality or AR through an app on our smart device to see what lurks on the other side. I love ghost hunting, even though I am a scaredy cat, but I love the stories of ghosts and these builds seem to be rich with storyline! There will be eight LEGO sets for the Hidden Side, and each will be fully functional LEGO builds, but once the app is turned on, you’ll see the hidden side featuring ghosts that you must fight and collect in order to restore balance to Newbury High. The story is that two teen bloggers, Jack and Parker, who happen to find out that their school has many secrets and those secrets can only be seen through their mobile phones! 





We are the first person players teaming up with the teens in a makeshift ghost hunt. The app will always randomize gameplay to keep the experience fresh, and different scenarios and ways to play will keep the game moving in a seamless progression. When I heard the game explanation, I was totally creeped out, as these ghosts will absorb the battery life from your phone (not your actual phone, but your phone in the game)! In order to actually see the ghosts, once your set is built, you can hold up your smartphone to specific “points of possession” and activate these points to see the ghosts come to “life.” There is no technology at all in the sets themselves, everything moving is run through the app. You have to explore the set physically and also look at your smartphone to look for clues to locate the ghosts. It is highly recommended that you play with a smartphone, even though the app is supported on both smartphone and tablet, for seamless gameplay you have to keep one hand in the physical world and one hand in the digital world in order to activate the “points of possession” and to fight the ghosts. There will also be a digital game available on the app that you can play outside of the LEGO sets. Overall, the sets look really, really cool. Some specific ghosts like to hang out at specific places, but there is no limit to where these ghosts can go. You can venture to a diner, to the school, a graveyard, a lab, and more to explore the wonders of the Hidden Side.










Hidden Side is recommended for LEGO builders age seven and up, and the pricing for each set varies from $19.99 to $129.99, however, these sets are a continuous experience — nothing like we have ever seen before pairing physical builds with AR, I mean. The Hidden Side now opens the door to other worlds, more LEGO sets, and more storyline. Once we officially meet Parker and Jack, where will they go next? What else lurks beyond Newbury High? Available this summer August 2019, check out the Hidden Side sets’ tentative names, and pricing in my description below.
