Fun to build and to have

I just gave this to my teenage granddaughter for her birthday today (she turned 15).  She and her brother adore the Despicable Me movies, so I figured she'd like the character "Kevin" minion to sit on her desk.  And since both she and her brother loved Legos (her 13 year old brother still does), I figured this product would be very similar.  There were 145 pieces and I sat with them both as they built it (he was very jealous that I gave it to his sister, but she let him help her build it).  So although the product says 10+, it is clearly enjoyed by kids as old as 15.  The pieces were well made and actually stayed together very tightly.  Only the hair piece fell out when playing around with him.  His arms move and his head can turn.  Plus the kids decided they could turn his eyes to make him appear with different emotions. All in all, I am very pleased with this item.

Fun to build although some of the smaller pieces are a little hard for my 10 yr old son to make. I don't mind putting the little ones together. It's kinds fun for me too. The nice thick paper makes them very durable.

This was a gift for my 6 yr old grandson.  We put it together, but he did most of it.  He had a lot of fun building this and now is enjoying playing with it.  I like the sets that  can actually be play with when finished.  This is a very nice set  and I am happy with my purchase.

super cute and a fun build. I would use glue just to keep it from coming apart with rough handling.

Purchased for our 6-year old daughter.  She is delighted with the idea of being able to build so many different structures.  While she needs some help getting things set up now, I suspect that this will be a toy that she plays with for years.  If you are looking for a toy that will be around for years of fun, I would recommend checking this out.

This birthday present has delivered a fair amount of fun so far and my granddaughter (just turned 7) enjoyed building her first creation, but I question a couple of things.  As a newly self-proclaimed tomboy :) she insisted on presents a boy would like, and I hoped this would fit the bill.  She's not had the basic gear set but I hoped she'd be successful with this one and would be especially motivated because of the motorized action and lights.  The set comes in a nice barrel shaped tub which makes clean up fairly easy and storage super.  The tub is plenty big enough to hold all the pieces without a problem, however you do have to take apart the base to fit those pieces in.  We may have just gotten a set with extra tough fasteners, but putting those flat squares together to form the base was REALLY hard.  They didn't want to slide together or be pushed together and I ended up with a few bruises for my efforts (very forceful pushing), but eventually got them to fit together.

The kids (big brother helped just a little) then set to figuring out how to get the gear pieces to interlock so that they turned one another in multiple directions.  After a few false starts they had success and developed a fairly elaborate setup that would go both forward and backward with the motorized control and the lights flashed appropriately (and were greatly enjoyed).  They were very pleased with their creation, but then disassembled it and put the pieces back in the tub.  I wonder if it will be sought out for play again.  So far, it hasn't.

I think that for children who love building and are always looking for another way to satisfy that urge, plus are reasonably handy with interlocking pieces, this set is a good choice.  It offers the opportunity for imaginative play and repeated use for the right child.  On the other hand, it may be a one-trick wonder for children who don't have that natural need to build and rebuild.

My sons got this for Christmas and they loved it! They are very creative and love to build. The set allows for use of the imagination and the pieces can be used in varied projects. Very good buy!

I'm not sure who likes these more - myself or my 3 and 5 year old. They are fun and easy to build with.  Perfect size for younger kids - not too small (like legos where pieces are apt to get lost easily), but not too bulky so they don't take up a lot of space.  My only complaint is I'd like more pieces in a set.  I purchased a 2nd set to have more creative options.

You can't go wrong with lego's. They are sturdy and fun. Great directions to help build.

The kids love building with these things. Very well crafted. They appear that they will last for a long time.

This is the third set we've bought. All 5 of my kids (ages 16 mo - 7 yrs, boys and girls) love these things because there's always something to build. If you can imagine it you can build it, then knock it over and build something new. The shapes aren't small so there's no risk of my younger kids choking on little pieces, so this is a toy we can have all over the living room floor and play with as a family. I love that my older kids stay interested by making more complicated builds, and at the same time my younger kids can easily make their own builds. I love the bright colors and shape variety. These pieces are also pretty sturdy, and don't break easily. The kids can be a bit rough banging shapes together, but we've only had a few chip. Very pleased with this set, and highly recommend.

My son and I enjoyed building and playing with this dinosaur set. I would compare it to the well known name brand version of these building blocks. It fits the other figures and pieces from those sets as well. Vivid colors and perfect decoration pieces when you are done playing with them. We LOVE dinosaurs and its fun to have the different species to build and play with. I received this at a discount in exchange for my honest, unbiased review.

My son loves this.  Affordable and keeps him occupied for hours (and is kinda fun to build and play with as well :-)).  We bought a second one for a gift.
