Is this like a gun set? The boy I am buying it for, the parents are against guns and violence!

It could be seen as a gun set. You do aim at the other person and press a button. And the person who shoots the other person the most wins.

I wouldn't call it a gun set. I think of it more as a game of tag using the spaceships as the way to tag the other person. I hope this helps.

We do not allow toy guns and we purchased this game for our children. I see it as very different. They are spaceships, not guns and the game concept is tag. Yes, you can frame the activity as a shooting/killing game but that would be by choice, not by design. I know my answer comes too late for your situation, but as a "no toy guns" parent, my best advice would be: when in doubt, ask the parents before you buy the gift.

No.this is only a pellet gun .good for practice and target shooting sense ammo is so expensive. But it does look like the real thing but never a self defense gun.

They are compatible. My friend and I both got our sons a set a few years back and they are a big hit with the boys and their friends get together. Now my younger son wants his own set! As a mom, I like the fact that I don't have to cart around a lot of different pieces. You just need the gun. The ability to set each gun to play with a team or go solo is also a great feature. On the other hand they take several AA batteries each so be prepared.

Hello Hanna, well the figure don't have a small parts to be dangerous for your kids, maybe the sword its the only piece that you need to be carefully. The toy its very nice and the material its good quality. Hope I can help you.

I got these for our twin 11 year olds, and two 12 year old boys. They run around in the grapes with nerf guns anyway...they should have a blast. (Christmas gifts they haven't opened yet) also, the guns are pretty large. I think its too big and awkward for smaller kids.

yes it is! Im not sure , but I think the whole sword is what i call , monkey metal, or putter ! Im very happy with my sword for my son! And no it wont take a combat type hit , But it is a great assassins game look allike! the sheath is very poor and cheap!

This would be perfect for him. Our kids have had theirs for a year now and have used the heck out of them. This is a durable, great starter set for right and left handed kids. It's also fun to use an adult.

There isn't 2 of everything but they could both build cars and small houses without a problem. If they like to build the same things I'd get 2 sets. My boys build great together with this set. The argument we have is over who gets to be Lego guys. We bought a set of people and still have a few spats.

Yes, I would not buy this gun if I were you unless you are a little kid. You have to cock every shot by pulling back the foregrip and it breaks easily

Negative...this gun is spring loaded and mechanically powered, not gas powered, so it sounds similar to a nerf gun.

Yes, if kids are playing it should stand up to some sword fighting. I think the manufacturer warns against it due to risk of injury. If adults were to whack at each other with these, I'm sure they would break.

I bought it as a Christmas present for a teenage boy. I, personally, don't like violent games but if that's what you like the kid thought it was great. He enjoyed it and thought it was cool that it was a double cd. I hope this helps.

It was for me...I'm 40...LOL. My son is 13 and he plays with it sometimes. We have nerf wars in the house.

I care because I'm not interested in buying a nerf gun that's meant for an 8 or 12 year old for my 4-year old child. Answers like yours aren't very helpful.

The swords are kind of large. I think they are great for kids of about 8 to 12. Even older kids can play with them. They are light, and with proper control (meaning being able to swing without going wild), they are strong and safe enough. The foam is pretty good but the core is probably just plastic. It could break if someone hits too hard (though most kids probably aren't strong enough). The biggest problem I see for you is whether or not the child will break things nearby. As I said, the swords are long and light. If the child swings too wildly, a lot of damage coud occur. At my house, I try to get the kids to play outside when they have these in their hands.

In all of my research on the items, and I raised 3 children, the blocks should be safe also. My Son, his 2 year old and the 1 year old, who I got them for all love them. It seems that all of the kids where my son lives has them. He lives in Virginia. Another great toy is the gears set. It sounds like my Son has a lot of fun with those. I might have to get him his own set..

You can fully play with this set! The arms and legs have the standard Lego range of movement. So you can move the weapons about, swap them if you want, and the like, along with the people.
