The Post in Which I Completely Rip Apart Hasbro’s Iron Man 3 Toys

by

So I finally saw Iron Man 3 with the family. It was definitely my least favorite of the three, but I still really enjoyed it.

That’s why I’m higher than a Golden Snitch after looking at this insane custom creation from Seattle-based Alice Finch. Alice earned her wizarding stripes by putting together a massive, as in ginormous, Lego Hogwarts set. It took her roughly 12 months and over 40,000 Lego bricks to put this sucker together. And to say it’s breathtaking …
