My own creation: LEGO Turtwig

From my son:

"As I said from my last review, I put another LEGO Pokemon up on my blog. His name is Turtwig and in this photo he's really hungry. He's eating some LEGO grass, and did you know that the leaves on his head grow better as soon as he eats?"

My Pokemon LEGO creations: Pikachu and Absol Talking

From my son:

"These are my first LEGO Pokemon characters, and I'd like to share them with you. Right now, they're having a chat. I started LEGO Pokemon yesterday, and created my first two LEGO ones. They're a success. And I plan on creating another one tomorrow, so don't forget to come back to my LEGO site."

LEGO Club and LEGO Pirate Code Review

LEGO Club
In LEGO Club yesterday, we made up our own LEGO games. Here are the games we created and played:

Get the Gold


Kill or be Killed


Lost Treasure


Race to the Treasure


Around the Track


LEGO Pirate Code Review
At LEGO Club, we also played the new game, LEGO Pirate Code. Here is my son's review of this game:

"I rate it 4 out of 5 stars, because the pieces around the edge kept falling off.

Unfortunately, the other kids didn't understand how to play at first, and when they finally figured it out, it was time to go home!"

LEGO Outdoor Mobile Restaurant


This is my son's own LEGO creation (called an "MOC"):

"The outdoor restaurant has a bunch of tables and can turn into a beach and a swimming pool. It has five and a half stars, and the LEGO figures really like it."
