I'm wanting to get this for my little brother(7) for Christmas he just built this (http://amzn.to/VDVkS6), but will this be to difficult?

This set is reasonably complicated but after seeing that he built the nindroid dragon it should be no problem. Just make sure he follows the instructions to the letter, or he'll get lost pretty fast. It's a great set and I would advise anyone toward getting this masterpiece.

If he built the Mechdragon with no issue, than I'm certain that the Ultra Sonic Raider will be just as easy or difficult

Fine for a seven year old ...he might need a little help, I helped my son put it together but he did most of it...but its probably my sons favourite lego set, he's seven as well

Both our grandsons ages 6 and 7 have this item. They both with a little assistance built it and love it. You can't go wrong with Lego's.

My grandson became frustrated at one point because the model involved putting two large parts that he contructed, together. One of the large parts that took a lot of time and patience, "came apart." He actually cried, but he asked for help, and was so pleased because he didn't give up. When he completed the entire model, he was so glad that he saw it through. My suggestion is that if you are thinking of this model for a 7 year old whose frustration level is high, and he is one to give up easily, you might want to consider this for next year. However, always reassure him that you will help if he asks. That's key. My grandson became frustrated at one point because the model involved putting two large parts that he contructed, together.

My son who is 5 was able to build it with some assistance. There are two separate books, so a lot of steps - one for the tank part and one for the flying ship part. It's not so much hard, just takes a long time to build it. It is an awesome set though, possibly my sons favorite Lego set.

I was unable to find better instructions for this build. I built the F117 using the institutions to my best ability. Then I compared the picture on the box and my F117. It took me awhile to get it right. Also, some of the blocks will not stay connected to others. Best of luck.

My 6 year old built it. He got a bit frustrated sometimes but he got it together.

Not too hard. Took about half an hour. Certainly would be easier having some help. I did it by myself. I'm comfortable building things so doing it myself wasn't a stretch for me. If you've put together IKEA- type furniture, then this would be very similar.

took me a few hours to assemble. other users said they did it with their 4-year-olds, and i agree that it could be a nice parent-child project. i agree with some of the other reviewers that it may be too big for some children.ellen h

Ir should be a good one. My son has been building since he was young. Initially he just needed to be shown how to read the picture directions to start building by himself. Just check it for accuracy before putting stickers on. Also, he may need some help at the end to get the pieces all the way tight. Happy building!

It says on the box 7 to 14 but my little guy got this for his 6th birthday and built it with no help. I guess it depends on the child.

It may take a couple of times for some of the projects but the beauty of this toy is that they learn what works and what doesn't. My 13 year old plays with this more than any of his other gifts. He is does much more than the suggested products and is still thrilled with them a year later. I, his mother, have built with him and his 9 year old sister, too. Note - they were 12 and 8 at Christmas last year. I hope this helps.

I'm sorry,but I did not put it together. I had a friend do it. However, from what I understand from him, it wasn't hard at all.

It is super easy, but if you are asking this you may want to have someone else install it. Here is a link to an installation; http://www.2addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=998321

Yes. Not hard at all...and I bought and assembled it over a year ago and its still standing from an8 and 12 yr old (boys). I didn't think it would last but it was designed very well considering the light weight.

Yes. I've built the hardest ones for my six-year-old son but he can follow the instructions for the easier ones. The hard ones take a lot of time but are easy to follow.

The one pictured would be too hard for a 7 year old to assemble alone. My 11 year old helped assemble ours but part of it broke during the assembly and I didn't hear back from the company about a replacement part.

Not difficult, but you do need 2 people for certain parts as it is long and heavy. Get everything together loosely and then tighten it up

My 13 yr old put it together but did it without help rather quickly but I didn't see him do it. he also crashed it quickly because he didn't take the time to watch the DVD before he tried it Christmas Day :) Luckly he was able to quickly find a replacement part for $7 and we got 2 in case he crashes it again :)

I had teenage son do it. He had no trouble with assembly. Not an answer, I know, but make sure you have all parts and hardware.

It would depend on the child. The setup is rather challenging for a young child. I play with my 9 year old grandson, but haven't tried with his 6 year old sister.
