Marching on with my reviews of the new LEGO DREAMZzz set, we now take a look at one of the few villain-centric sets with the Pegasus Flying Horse (71457). The set has 482 pieces and retails for $49.99.
To celebrate the release of the new LEGO DREAMZzz theme, LEGO Stores will be holding a LEGO DREAMZzz PJ & Play Party on Saturday, August 5. In this very limited event, the first 20 kids in store will receive a special gift. I assume kids will have to wear their PJs to the store to get the gift.

The upper floor has a large bedroom that is able to fit a bed along with … Continue
