Snake Mountain is supposed to arrive tomorrow!!! Because I didn’t document the build or even do a review of the terrific Castle Grayskull, I thought today would be a good day to have some things to say about it.

Mega Construx She-Ra vs. Hordak and Mostroid…SpartanNerd Review

Back two years ago, when I decided to begin collecting the Mega Construx Masters of the universe, I frantically searched to find everything I could. But the hardest thing to get was this guy.
