Poor quality?? Just bought this....was anyone else a little surprised and disappointed by the quality of the bricks?

Wonder if they were the bricks made from China then. There's a forum on Brickset.com that tries to point out the differences between the bricks manufactured in China vs. the ones in Denmark or elsehwere. Would be a little disappointed too if the minifig is manufactured in China too (the Collectible figures are).

I had similar experience and also had another person take a look at it. Pieces did not fit together correctly no matter how he tried to assemble it...... Still sitting in garage / useless to me and didn't have time to return it.

I just had it brick in less then 24 hours. Didn't try sending it to asus, figured it the quality was that bad, and it taking 12 hours to make 6 DVD's for it's software backup, it must be pretty bad. Thank god Amazon has a decent return policy!

Sorry, but I sent mine back. It wasn't the quality I thought it was. I've purchased from ShindigZ! before with success and quality, but not so much with this product. Hope this helps.

i've been building with lego for well over 30 years and they have ALWAYS been pricey. as for the question on if the flagship is worth it? very much so. it looks beautiful on the mantle

It appears to me that the seller (not Amazon) jacked up the price for those to over 8.00 each. Nice of them to take advantage of the season. If you can't find them on Amazon.com for 2.99each I would purchase from lego directly. Unfortunately you still have to pay shipping so that option is depending on how many you want to buy and if the seller on Amazon is doing free shipping. Not worth getting it from anyone else unless Amazon has it for 3.00 and with prime shipping. Hope this helps some. I purchased a lot of lego and you have to be careful of who you buy from on Amazon as they can grossly overcharge you.

The plastic bars on the top do flex well with the wind, which is surprising once you see this. That said, we just put ours up 4 days ago, and noticed one of the pieces to the plastic bar is damaged!Where is Quality control!!!!!

Hi Jamie my children have enjoyed their lego table for the past year. The chairs are very small and not held up well but the table is great. I have three children and its perfect for them.

I felt the same way. It looks like this version is cheaply built, but seems to cook about the same. I did see that it will crack very easy if you're not careful, I put a small crack in mine cleaning it�

Oh that really is terrible. I can't understand how the manufacturer absolves itself from its own quality control.I didn't get extras. The only thing I could suggest is take the parts pix to a small mom/pop hardware store, like a a True Value that sells one of everything out of little drawers. You may get lucky!

Lol! I bought these for my kids a couple years ago..they still work great...but I would never pay $100!!! The "Lego" part is just painted on...I dont see how these could even be considered a collectors item.

Nope. Ya just gotta follow the pictures. To be honest the finished project isn't worth the time to put it together. It just falls apart again. Get a refund

WE actually sent this one back. It was poor working condition. There were some parts missing. It didn't appear to be good quality. We ended up going to Babies R Us and fining a really nice white solid gate that we still have in the living room. That was almost 2 years ago. If you want to know the name email me back or respond back to this one.

My Didj was cracked when it arrive in the mail. I returned it immediately for credit. If I were you I would return for credit. There were other reviews when I bought it that had mentioned problems with cracking.

Mine was fine, it looked new and even the stakes looked new. As to flimsy, I thought for what it was for that it's construction was appropriate. My grandson uses it and absolutely loves it. We couldn't be happier.

The blocks are a good quality. They are heavy cardboard. They aren't wood, but a tad safer for children that play rough, I would think. I should think you will get your monies worth and they will be happy with their blocks.

You should never glue LEGO. It destroys the value of the set, and essentially turns it into a poorly shaped, jagged, and more expensive version of some other toy you could get somewhere else.There are so many better ways to get a cruddy version of a train set... Just don't glue it!
