Are the blocks in this set larger than then 200 piece set? Just trying to figure out why this set is so expensive.

The blocks that I purchased were normal size for "kindergarten"... school activities. Our grandchildren who are 6 and 7 love them. You can tell the size by estimating the size of the children in the photo to the stacked blocks they are playing with.

Ive not seen them but looking at the pictures of the two sets it would appear that the 60pc set comprises significantly larger plain blocks for general use by all ages whereas the 200pc set has vividly decorated pieces apparently for the very young to aid with colour, shape and design recognition. Hope this helps.

Unfortunately I can not answer your question because I have not bought junior lego, what I can say is that I liked this set a lot for the variety and condition, all pieces shod in my lego collection classic.

I would definitly order from amazon because this set is higher offline. Plus you have to buy stuff seperately. Its cheaper here and u can add pieces that you not be able to buy in the store.

My nieces enjoy rebuilding their set in different ways (not following the plan on the box). They have been building and rebuilding for months. They don't have this set, they have the tree house set which has only about 400 pcs. This set has many more pieces.

We have cardboard blocks that I bought for my older children (probably 20 years ago), and now my younger two (ages 5 and 7) are playing with them - they ALL love these blocks! I'm looking to buy another set for my younger two, so they can make BIGGER castles :)

I had the exact same question. It's surprising not many have noticed the huge difference in the List Price between these 2 sets. Does anyone have an answer to this question??

Ugh, NO! Dear Lord, you would think Mega Blocks would take a note from Lego in this regard. It is less than pleasant sorting the blocks. We get out a bunch of plastic bowls, and sort into them accordingly. We bought them just for these big mega blocks sets. My boys, unfortunately LOVE their mega blocks Halo sets ;) luckily, it falls on my husband to put them together. If you have never done so, the instructions are also different. Weird colored grid to demonstrate where the blocks go. It takes some getting used to.

The blocks in the is set are compatible with all First Builders and Maxi Blok sets. For example, we purchased Mega Bloks Big Building Bag, 80-Piece (Pink) as a companion piece. The white and pink blocks in this set match the castle, and if need be we will add some to the four pillars to increase the height. We are also considering purchasing another set, but since our builder is getting close to the next age group of blocks (Mega Bloks Junior, Duplo, etc) we may stand pat.

I have learner, standard, and jumbo sets. The only difference between the sets is the number of blocks and the number and size of the plastic windows. There are no 8x8 blocks in any of the sets - there are 4x4 blocks and 4x8 blocks. Sets with more blocks come with more, and larger, windows. Hope this helps.

Thank you for asking the question, but this set comes pre-assembled to us. Your best bet may be to find each shape in the stone that you seek, and order separately. thanks, Amy, Cleos Fine Things

A couple of pieces might be an issue but most are pretty large, so if you're worried you can take them out and introduce them later. The quality of the set is exceptional, we've had it for almost a year and it still looks brand new. The farmhouse is still holding up too.

My son has both the 100 piece set and the 48 piece DX set and they complement one another perfectly. The 48 piece set has some different pieces such as: a large square with a door built in, an arch way, two little rings, and a flat bed with 4 wheels to build up as a car, trailer or other creative ideas. I think it would be worth getting him the other set if he loves playing with them already as it will give him a little more variety.

From what I understand (by searching lego items) the implication is its a "large area" base plate vs. the 5x5 base plates lego sells. It is for regular size legos. ie...not for megablocks.

Nope, my 8yr has built a set (7 at the time with a littile help) and his older brother (12 at the time) can build it on his won. Just lots of 1x1 squares and other smaller bricks. This was on the Orgional set. This will most likely be under the tree this year for them.

Love this set, but was expecting it to be much bigger, especially for the cost. its more like a travel set. The stones are 3/4 inch. Board is about 12"x 10"
