Mega Bloks Despicable Me Castle Adventure

The Mega Blocks Despicable Me Castle Adventure set has been a terrific investment for our family! My son and I spent about 2 hours putting it together and he loves it. It has a lot of attention to detail and we love every little nook and cranny. It is fairly sturdy once fully put together and holds up decently under play (though half the fun is breaking and rebuilding!). The Minions themselves are fun to put together and look terrific. This set has provided many hours of imaginative play and inspired us to collect additional Minions Mega Block sets to give our son even more creative play.

I was so impressed with this product. The Minion castle has so many different features that I was not expecting. This was primarily played with by my eight year old son. Even though I had to help him a lot with the construction, (because the parts are a little hard to get together) it was great bonding time. This product is appropriately released right at the same time as the movie which makes its imaginative value higher. The first feature that I want to talk about is the crown hold. There is this awesome little compartment where the crown for Bob is stored safely. When someone tries to steal it, it falls through a hidden door and goes into a protective safe. There is a similar compartment for the scepter. There are little strong holds for Kevin to climb the walls. The walls, are accurately made to look just like a castle would, with the bricking. The windows are fairly accurate as well to mimick castles of old. There is a little jail for deviants and so many features that it allows kids to not lose interest like they do in most other things. The best feature of all is that the castle opens and closes to allow for easier storage. I would highly recommend this for just play or even for your minion display if you are a minion addict! High five from this family! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
