Holiday Gift Guide: Batwing Battle Over Gotham City

So, I finished up my holiday shopping on Monday night. Mission accomplished!

For anyone who knows me, it comes as no surprise that one of the gifts I'll be giving this year is the gift of LEGOs. In fact, a certain five year-old named Jackson just, just, just might find himself unwrapping the Batwing Battle Over Gotham City set from LEGO's brand new DC Universe Super Heroes line.

Our set arrived Monday afternoon and it's already wrapped.

So, shhh... Don't tell anyone. Jackson's learning to read, yes, but he's not reading THE SOURCE. Yet. So it'll be our little secret, right?

Besides, how awesome does this set look? Just check out Joker's henchmen!

Happy Holidays, everyone!
