Dragons + Lego = Love
There’s something regal about dragons; they’re big, ferocious, awe-striking, majestic, dangerous, sleek but at the same time, the biggest mother you will ever run into. Dragons have been portrayed from evil and conniving to heroic and glorious and regardless, they have become objections of admiration for so long.
*segway*
Since I was 3 years old, I remember the first toy I ever had was a huge bucket of Lego. The old ones’ only colors then were yellow and red. Boy, the cities I erected and smashed, the tight pieces I bit apart, the vehicles and cars and spaceships that my sick, little 3 year old mind concocted were endless.
*segway ends*
When I was growing up (around 12 years old), I told myself that once I start earning, I’m taking my passion for Lego and/or Dragons to the next level i.e. START A REAL HOBBY.
So anyway, it all started innocently enough: I was in Toy Kingdom looking for a Charizard toy, I then ran across this:

I froze. Dragons AND Legos all rolled into one!?
I’M
COMING
WITH
I fell in love. In more ways than one. This bad boy was bought right away.
And then
THE FLOODGATES WERE OPENED.
And tonight, a new empire dawns. I’m blowing Christmas money for this:

and this:

Glorious. I’m going to plow through throngs of eager shoppers tonight.
P.S. I know it’s not Lego but Megabloks is like the Lego of the big boys.

Lego, Megabloks, C3…they’re still building systems. The wonder of these toys, they’re all compatible with one another. Some Megabloks sets are 30% off. I got a Black Spider-man with a vehicle on sale. Forget about Lego being sold here…too expensive! The Batman sets being sold for almost 10k are only less than half that price abroad or online.
