Which set is the best to get? Smart Set (144 pcs) or Super Brain Set (220)?

I like the super brain set as it has enough pieces for my 3 kids to work together to build a few items.

Between these two, I prefer the Super Brain Set. The main reason is that it includes pieces from a few special sets such as the Carnival Set and the Power Construction Set.

Bigger is better. Having said that, I was buying for 2 kids so I wanted enough so there wouldn't be any chance of squabbles. There are some unique pieces in the 220 set.

It will be personal reference really. This set has a medium/average weight in the hand. There are heavier sets but personally for me its too much and not needed. This set is also on sale right now too. I'm going to order another so I will have an 8 pc setting. A suggestion for you is to go to a better store and feel flatware and compare how they weigh and feel in your hands to really know.

If you can afford it, the 100 piece set is a better value. My grandson received the 100 piece set from his other grandparents for his birthday and I added the 32 piece set for Christmas and will continue to add so there is plenty to "share" when his sister is old enough.

I am very happy with this set. I would recommend it. I would also highly recommend the wok. Awesome products by woll.

Both sets are pretty cool to have. I don't have any of the legacy figures, but I think they are about the same. I will say that the black series 6 inch figures are some of the best figures I've seen around.

The 201 piece set appears to include more screwdriver tips. I do all of my own mechanic work (from a 35 Ford to a modern Impala). I have repaired dashboard instrument panels, pulled engines, rebuilt gas tanks, disassembled and resembled entire cars. The 170 piece set is all I need for 90% of my repairs. It is indispensable...

I don't think I have the original packaging anymore, so I'm not sure who made the set or where, but it's China quality. I would guess that te set is good for ages 10 and up or so. You need good dexterity to use the tools.

there are a couple of high quality sets out there. ones to look for are from MIP, Hudy, EDS. those are the three that I would go with. out of those I believe EDS are the only ones that have nut drivers

Get the 200. The extras will be very useful and they are items you will eventually buy anyway.

If possible, I would buy more than 30 pieces. Get the largest set you can, because the joy will be more long-lasting. If he is playing them with a friend, that would only be 15 pieces each, and it is hard to build something with just 15 pieces. However, if you can only afford 30 pieces, he would enjoy it tremendously. I can pretty well guarantee that if you buy the 30 set, you will be back to buy a larger set to add to it. This is the most fun toy ever created, seriously. The pieces click together with magnets, and lend themselves to a wide variety of shapes. You will probably end up playing with them as much or more than your 9 year old. God bless. Marian Liveley

5. you should totally get this set. i really love it. so much easier to use than my other sets because of the way you push on one side and it pops right out!

I don't see the $157.60 set on Amazon. The only difference between the $66.89 and the $88.50 sets that I can see is that the $88.50 comes with the combo rack and pusher. I had to buy the pushers separately and they cost around $20 with shipping. Otherwise, the $66.89 set just has racks, no pushers. I hope this helps, Josephine.

Sears has this identical set on sale NOW for 1400.00 plus they throw in a Samsung BlueRay player which works fine on standard DVD's. Supposed to be offered through Jan. 30 but this set is soon to be discontinued. I bought one at Sears.

Yes, definetely! Both will enjoy putting it together. But keep in mind that this set is more a "Display set" than a "Playing set".

If you do not have the Junior set, I would recommend you get the Snap Circuits SC-300 instead. It retails at about USD40 and Ranked #1 in Physics Toys & Games. Snap Circuits SC-300 Electronics Discovery Kit

Lots, this was an amazing set for an advanced lego builder. I gave it to a very precocious 9 year old and he loved it!!!
