Really great blocks, and that isn't just "for the money"

Great stability.  I'm 265, and they hold me up.  I was using the foam bricks, but anything where I put actual force into my arm to hold me up during yoga was much more difficult, causing more stress into my hip.  These have been the solution I was hoping they'd be.

They are heavy (they're cork..so...they will be heavier than foam) but that is fine because they are sturdy,w hich is much much much more important.  If these are "too heavy" for you, I would suggest working out more often, as they aren't more than 5lbs.

I bought this along with another plain set of brick to go with a new lego table.  It's a good set for that, but if I were to do it again, I'd probably buy a larger bulk lot of mixed parts from ebay.  I think that's probably the cheapest way to get a lot of blocks to build whatever with, rather than a specific set.

The blocks are good quality and my son and I have had a great time palying with them. If only they had a larger pack!

Beautiful set of blocks and well worth the extra price comparative to other offerings. My son loves stacking and learning which is important instead of just staring at the iPad. There are three options for this; the blocks alone, the blocks with a canvas pouch, and the set I purchased that comes with a wooden carrier wagon. Any are fine and you're getting the same quality blocks.

I LOVE these. Opinions differ on whether PowerBlock's plate & pin mechanism is best, or if you should go with other adjustable dumbbell styles (excluding the Bowflex ones -- I've seen those in-person and they do NOT feel of long-term solid construction.) Sure, if you're the type to heave and then drop your dumbbells hard these might not last either, but the pin is much longer than I expected (it spans the whole width of the weight plates, with bonus clearance) and the square design of these is actually a blessing for stuff like renegade rows. *Huge* fan, very very happy with my purchase. Oh, and a tip: I had originally gotten a the lower-weight set that maxed out at 45lbs; I returned those and moved up to these.

I have these blocks in gray, and I've found them to be very functional.  The are lightweight yet made of a dense foam that is comfortable to use with just a bit of give to it.  They also seem slightly larger than most other blocks, plus they are a great value--you get two blocks for less than what other companies charge for just one.  Highly recommended for your home yoga practice.

My son has loved these blocks since he was just a few months old. They're small to an adult but a nice size for babies and toddler. The blocks are very good-looking, solid, and have a large assortment of pictures, letters, numbers and other useful stuff.

Some of my blocks came with burn marks but it hasn't impacted their usefulness.

My son and I have played roughly with these blocks for almost 2 years now, knocking them down, throwing them around and the dog even got ahold of one once, but they are really very durable. They really last.

In short, didactic, durable, interesting, quality and lots of fun. I'm very happy with these blocks and may buy them as a gift for a new baby in the extended family.

These are such wonderful blocks!  Kids love them and they were such a good buy!

I knew I need sturdy blocks to hold my weight when I do my poses. I love how sturdy they are, especially compare to foam blocks! They are also not as hard against the wrists as some reviewers felt. They are also not as heavy as some reviewers claim to be. Maybe it's because I haven't used foam blocks in a long time, and these blocks are the first ones I use after so long. The only tiny downside was that upon opening, there were tiny particles/dust falling off. But I think you cannot do anything about the nature of the cork material. I highly recommend these blocks!

Absolutely love my blocks! I did alot of research and am not disappointed. They are lightweight, yet sturdy enough to support me without hurting my wrists. Plus I got them for much cheaper :)

I love love love these blocks.  My 8 1/2 m.o. daughter really likes them too.  She loves to knock them down, which is great, because I LOVE TO BUILD WITH THEM.  Daily I can't wait to sit and build with her, simply because I think these blocks are genius.  The color schemes are great, the detail painting/designs on the blocks are interesting and somewhat psychedelicI imagine that they are a real treat for babies developing eyes, mind, and imagination.  I have mixed two sets that are very interchangeable.  They are small enough that they pack away easily, but large enough that she doesn't choke on anything. The blocks allow us to build in creative colors, shapes, and sizes and develop endless story lines.  Some of the blocks have bells in them, some wooden beads, some have cosmically colored circles that indent for babies tactile exploration.  I read a review that the tiny red wooden knob on the end of one of the blocks (two blocks some with them) came off and was swallowed by a child, (no bueno)..but I've watched my own daughter gnaw away on it (she's teething and it is a treasure for her gums it seems) and so far it doesn't seem to be loosening in any way.  I appreciate that review though so I can keep an eye out.  I love Haba toys and we have many for her, but so far these seem to be her favorite.  I plan on buying more sets so that I (yes me) can get even more creative. At 8 m.o. she's pretty open to whatever is put in front of her, but he attention span does seem to be longer for theseand because I absolutely love them I am able to sit for long periods of time and really play and be present with her with these blocks.  En. Joy!

I'll be honest; I'm a LEGO guy. My sister and I grew up with LEGO, and I have fond memory of them. We did have some Tyco blocks, but we were primarily LEGO.

I'm not a fan of Call of Duty, but the set looked pretty interesting, and had a 'less than LEGO' price, I figured it would be worth a try. And for the most part I'm impressed with Mega Bloks.

The figures are definitely pretty cool, with a lot of movement. These particular ones aren't designed the best, as I did have issues with keeping the belt on (at times it was either the belt was on, or the legs were). The guns are quite impressive, as the stock, clip, and barrel are all detachable.

The instructions are pretty nice, but I did have some issue determining which color was supposed to be used for a couple steps. Maybe I'm getting too old, but the grays started to blend in on some of the instructions.

I also found myself with a couple pieces that just didn't attach correctly (the hole sizing was a little too big), but I found a placement for them on the model that didn't require a tight fit. On the other hand, when I did screw up and use the wrong color I did have a slight issue getting the pieces apart (2 x 4 on top of a 2 x 6 or 8, I forget which). I eventually got it, but it wasn't as easy as I would have liked.

Ultimately the question I have is whether this experience would get me to purchase another of these sets. And given how nice the model looks, and the quality of the blocks, I'd say I would.

I'd really like to be the Mega Bloks Call of Duty ODIN Space Station Strike set a 4.5, but since I cannot I'll give it a 5 of 5 rating. The minor issues I had didn't take away from the experience, and ultimately the quality level is quite high. I'm impressed.

I love that the colors aren't the usual garish baby brights, and the illustrations are wonderfully done. My 7-month-old really enjoys these blocks both for building (demolition if I'm realistic) and chewing. She frequently reaches for them over other toys. It's nice that they aren't all the typical alpha-animals, too, because it allows for further learning when she's older. The only negative is that the blocks are obviously machine impressed, and several of them are a little warped in shape because the stamping is slight off. Not a big deal, but it means there are little bumps on edges or columns tilt, which makes stacking more difficult. On the whole, though, I would buy again.

We love these blocks! Bought them for our son (1) and our daughter(5) plays with them just as often. They are an obstacle course,car ramps...etc.

Definitly a high cost, special occasion item, but worth it!

We play with them inside and outside. They clean up so easily.

Totally worth the money! These blocks are super stable and made of a smooth, high quality cork material.

I love these blocks & the material they're composed of; however, a little forewarning- they are quite a bit heavier than the average foam blocks. I'd still choose these over the foam blocks because I prefer the sustainable materials.
