Disclosure: I was sent this Scalextric Touring Car Battle set to review and keep. Even though I’ve never wanted to drive myself, I’ve always wanted a Scalextric set. Well, it may be 30 years later than originally planned but, finally, I’ve got my wish. I’m now the proud co-owner of a Scalextric Touring Car Battle …

It’s fair to say that we all absolutely loved The LEGO Ninjago Movie. It’s still the most common topic of conversation among the boys at the moment. Their sketch pads, meanwhile, are full of drawings of the characters and their vehicles. There’s no substitute for something LEGO related than the toys themselves though. With that in …
