I want to remind people these are not to play with at all once you build them be very careful with the figures arms and legs as the joints that hold the arm to the body wear out and will snap off making it impossible to fix you would have to reorder that figure in all they are awesome toys to build but do not play with them if your going to change poses be very delicate with movement

These are so great for little hands.  At 17 months my grandson just builds towers with them at this point but he loves doing it.

My girls love Lego building. This set made a great way to make a "hotel" for their little Lego ladies. This set is a. Lightweight plastic that fits both our Legos and off brand Lego style bricks. You get enough plates for multiple kids to play comfortably (not sharing) together. The plates are a great size and easy to store. The big con for me, though, is the pieces given to lift and connect the plates are flimsy. If using one you can't really build much cause there's not much space, but connecting two makes and unsteady, tippy tower that always falls. Fortunately we have plenty of Legos and made our own, but it's a bummer to have 80 pieces we can't use. Overall, worth it for the plates, for sure! I purchased this set at a discount to test and provide a genuine review from our personal use and experience.

This product and all of the Metal Earth items are not toys. They are an intricate model that takes patience and skill to complete. They were not FUN to put together but challenging. The result s very satisfying and the models striking. Do not give this to a child or anyone who has a short attention span or gets frustrated easily. They are fragile before you start building, during the building process and after. The metal bends very easily and care must be taken to properly shape those pieces that require shaping. The right tools are essential. You will need fine needle nose pliers, tweezers, straight edges for bending, a shear cutter to remove the pieces from the metal sheet and a good magnifying lamp. The effort will be worth it.

It's great being able to remove moldings without damaging it or where they are attached. Nice sturdy product.

Built a lot of stuff with these and have not stripped a head yet. The self tapping has worked well on melamine and knotty alder.

These are great.  My daughter is three and loves to build with these.  I just ordered another set so we can both explore our imaginations.

My kids and husband love creating with these bricks. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to expand their supply of simple shapes for creating basic structures. They don't fit as tightly as duplos, so if you're trying to make arches or staircases, they are prone to falling over.

Great for building aquariums and stuff out of plexi

My son is a few month away from being nine.  He purchased this with his own money so it was a big deal with lots of Lego looking.  He had fun building it but said that during the building process, pressing down on the Legos often led to part of the assembly snapping off, causing many re-builds.  In the words of the Wicked Witch of the West "These things have to be handled delicately."  Once finished, my son really likes to play and pretend with his Lego toys.  They look very realistic and are just begging to be taken off display and actually put to use.  The side doors on the helicopter break off almost every time he opens them, but he patiently reconstructs it again and again.  The little raft is solid.  The winch works great.  Overall it was a good buy...it wasn't my money.  Like other Lego sets we own, and we own many, they are much more fun to build then they are to use as imaginative toys once built.

Good set for kids, not recommended for serious builders.
These blocks are well built -- the tolerances are consistent, and the finish is smooth on all external surfaces.

The main weakness is that the plastic is less stiff.  Thin pieces flex about twice as much as Lego.  Thick pieces do not flex.  All the pieces fit together well, but it is more a squish together than a click together.  They come apart noticeably easier than Lego.  We'll see how well they age.

Really like that this is a set of blocks and not a one-time model.  Lego's "classic" kits still fail here.  My kids are much more creative with these; there is space to explore.

I feel that there is a lot of "filler" -- 1x1 and 1x2 blocks are decoration, not building blocks.
Here's a breakdown of the 500 pieces in my bag, sorted by total count.  There are 10 colors in the set, with equal distribution except where otherwise noted.
100 1x2
 71 2x2 (didn't sort)
 63 1x1 (7,6,5 of each color)
 51 2x4 (6,5 of each)
 48 2x3 (5,4 of each)
 27 roof (9 of red, gray, black)
 20 corner
 20 1x3
 20 1x4
 20 1x6
 20 1x8
 20 2x6
 10 2x8 thin
 10 2x10 thin

My petite 3-year-old can put these together on her own, and they stay together.  She couldn't wait to dump out all of the colorful pieces. Plenty of building ideas for those of us who struggle with their children's building toys.  Know ahead of time that while there are plenty of pieces, the box is only about 1/3 full.  Look at piece count, not package size.

Used these to build a greenhouse, and this made the project much easier and more professional looking. I'm not a carpenter, but dabble in DIY projects on the weekends, and I was able to build the structure by myself. The brackets make for a very solid structure once assembled, just need a bit of common sense when erecting the elements.

I bought this for a cheap and temporary use: holding various tools during a remodel job. Helps to be able to wheel it over to a work area and then back out of the way. But i knew when I bought it that it's not commercial grade and will not hold up getting banged around and overloaded with weight, which is what I'm doing. SO, it's perfect, cheap-n-cheerful for this project and then will get thrown away after I beat the crap out of it.

I only do small wood projects, like building small cabinets and shelves, frames and small things like that, and this vice is pretty nice for small items like that.  It comes with a template so you can mount it to a bench.  I mounted mine to a movable bench so it's easy to wheel around my garage and it works well on it.  The 360 swivel is very nice.  It rotates smoothly and you can hold projects at a variety of angles.  I like the fact that the plates are smooth.  My other vice is a bit larger, but it has ridges on the plate and I tend to use softer wood for frames.  It would leave indents.  This smooth surface won't do that.

There's really not much you can say about a vice.  If you're looking here, you probably know what it is and what it does.  This one functions properly and does what it is supposed to do admirably.

My 4 year old loves these and he can build from picture on box and not need any help.

I have these in my mancave in the shop which has a concrete floor.  There well designed, easy to hold and don't break if you drop them.  They are kind of spendy so you need to remind people to not throw them away when their done haha
