For a blog this website has very little in the way of actual opinion so maybe it’s about time that changed.

Meanwhile I was very much still into legos, toy tractors, and digging holes in the yard. Quite a while after he had moved on from the Game Boy to the super Nintendo I got my hands on it.

Metroid Lego Roundup!
Who doesn’t like Legos? I personally love it.
