My 3yo found the crash test dummy action of the son of the purple blob very
amusing. I took it along on Saturday and people were amazed at the size of
the racer in relation to the box.

The sprung slug throwers keep popping up in different themes. Can't wait to
see what use they are put to in Belville. If BrikWars start to drag, it
certainly may be time to pull out the tiebreaking s-s-throwers.
Let's hope they are building up to a release of the Ogel Base. That is the set
I have been ogling. The skull faced henchmen have one red/one black leg.
