is this worth paying 175$ for legos?

It kept my 11 year old busy for about a week and a half...to me it was worth the $$

Considering that there is $90 worth of Power Functions parts (if purchased separately), and Legos generally cost $0.10 each, I'd say this set is a good deal.

I firmly believe that most lego technic worth their money. Not all, but most. I believe that this one is among the ones that do.

plus if you keep the box in good shape you can sell for a lot more money later on. People buy this stuff up quick. Once it retires too they become worth more in most situations. I am 48 and my wife and I build these cause they are awesome fun to do together.

No, Lego's are completely different. You can look at these minecraft toys in any Target, Walmart and Toys R Us. They are less expensive there too.

I think that a 5 year would like it if it's new to him. I don't know how long he'd be intrigued, as he would probably put pieces together as they are supposed to go! It would depend upon the child. The major positive about Lego is that it stays together instead of falling apart as soon as you pick it up! It also can be washed if needed. I bought the set for my 2 year old great-grandson, but I, his father, 3 uncles, a grandfather, and a great-grandfather are or have been in engineering, and have played with him since he could hold things. He loves it, and puts the pieces together in all kinds of ways, so it looks different as he plays. He's also fascinated with trucks, dump trucks, trains and such.

Really it's just preference: How many pieces, size, design, etc. One of the biggest deciding factors for me is what minifigures the set comes with. Also you might want to check when the set gets retired. If it gets retired soon it will increase in price/value/availability pretty quickly afterwards. Also another big thing is if a set is currently kn sale. You can save a lot and get more Lego if you pay attention to sales. I hope this helped you out!

i agree with Michael. It is for adults and very much go up in price. They are collectibles and not everyday action figures. If you go to other Hot Toys resell sites you will see how quickly the price goes up. I bought this as a Christmas gift and it has gone up $100 in selling price. It is highly detailed and if you go to YouTube, you can see reviews of various Hot Toys items that are out of box and shows all the detail of the item

I think it is worth it. It comes with one game already installed which includes music, a book, and letter writing practice at the very least. I just picked up a bunch of the games for $1.98 at toys r us though if you change your mind.

I really do think so. The quality is much higher thn I expected for the price! It is a REAL drum set and the sounds are amazing. I - and my grandsons - are very happy with the drums. I think an 11-year-old would like them a lot.

I bought this for my boyfriend's Christmas present along with another (Hobbit) set he didn't have yet, he's the avid LEGO connoisseur, not me. But he loved the set though, so for me it was well worth the money. As for building two sets instead of one, he said"any set would look better with two instead of one!"It's all up to you really, and how much you're willing to spend on a toy. We've started to display all of them in a glass case, it looks awesome. Hope that helps.

I doubt it. The price is reasonable enough for the 5 pieces. I would recommend buying another complete set. You don't take everything to work, do you?

Maybe it is a bit kiddie for a 12 year old though but....who knows it is Lego! Extra Lego bits are likely/always appreciated but Lego set that build something specific is likely more appropriate. Most of the DC comic line is very good Lego City and Star Wars are also sought after. It all depends on the kids interest.

Absolutely not. I have a 10 year old boy and he's made some pretty complicated stuff with his Legos and this is the set he picked for this coming Christmas!

There are some small micro ships to build, but if building is what he likes to do a regular set might be better yes. This set does have some cool pieces and figures that are only available in this set. It is worth it at a reduced price.

It IS available on lego.com for $99.99. It is just back ordered for 2 or so weeks

Nope it's just a box with legos in it. You can find a small box here on Amazon as well with more legos for around $20 and the legos that come with this and that will all fit in that box.

I have no idea! I bought this kit for my 12 year old son. He loves it! I think that it does a very good job for a child to practice using his creativity with creating stop motion video with Legos. It was priced under $100. The camera is not high quality, but does very well for close up of Legos. Really you get what you pay for and it is a child's toy!

If I remember correctly, the outer Amazon box was not much bigger than the Lego box. I'll tell you one thing, this R2D2 is expensive but it is awesome. My son has never been more excited or proud as when he finished it. Hope this info helps,Tom

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!!!
