Darius Johnson: Army vet after serving for four years (it brought him a lot of opportunities including college and his wife) and married for almost 10 years to Lori with two kids (the son is a big Marvel fan and the daughter will be one day; he and his son started off with Iron Man since the son is a big Iron Man fan and they started building that together out of Legos, then it went to The Infinity Gauntlet and it progressed from there and every month they’re putting the Legos together) from Springfield, VA

Mike Jacques (he’s wearing Captain America apparel): Marine Corp vet after serving for nine years who’s officially a lord (as a gift for getting his master’s degree, his wife brought him a 1’x1′ plot of land in Scotland that came with the title of lord from Gunter, TX

Postgame Chat: Lego master model builder Pete Donner shows off his Avengers tower built entirely out of Lego blocks. It stands about 3′ tall (just under 35 ½” or 97 cm) and consists of over 5,000 pieces (5,201 to be exact) and 31 minifigures, making it the largest collection of minifigures available in any Lego set. Any Marvel fan could be able to identify them and see all the famous points from the movies and comic books that they have.

MY RATING: 8 (B)
