MEGA BLOKS® Giant Minion Kevin Sighted!
| 11.30.2015 – Given that the local distributor for Mega Bloks in the Philippines is not aware how they attracted not just kids based on the box set’s age group. They still bring in new sets from Call of Duty, Halo, Hello Kitty & Barbie.
The Minions however are not as expansive just like the SpongeBob SquarePants sets. But still before the end of the year you’ll probably want a ginormous Kevin. |
