Toys and Games Reviews of LEGO Ultimate Building Set - 405 Pieces

Customer Review: Great starting set for young Lego builders
Summary: 4 Stars

This is the set to get your four and five year old kids hooked on Legos. This set includes instructions on building several small Lego models. The models are at just the right level of difficulty for young Lego builders. Also, this set has just the right number of pieces for this age of builder; you don't want a gazillion pieces around for novice builders, because they won't be able to find the pieces they need. Once they master working on these models, they will want bigger, more complicated models, which means you will have to acquire another set. But you will want to keep this one around for when friends/relatives with young kids drop by to keep them busy.

The downside of this package is that the instructions occasionally called for a colored piece that wasn't available, requiring the use of a different colored piece. Not a big deal really, but it confused my 5-year old son who was trying to complete the helicopter.

Customer Review: average deal
Summary: 5 Stars

same bucket you can buy in the store for about the same price as walmart. the legos are good not a huge amount in there but a good starter set.

Customer Review: Grest Blocks
Summary: 5 Stars

We gave the Ultimate Lego Building Set to our grandson. He loves it. It does not tie him down to one project, but lets him use his imagination to build many things. He has a lego set that builds a truck, but once he had built the truck it sat there while he built things wit the Ultimate set.

Customer Review: Classic, great toy
Summary: 5 Stars

I am under the impression that a lot of folks reviewing here are not particularly well acquainted with Lego in the context of the wider world of toys out there. They are expensive because the quality of construction is excellent. You do, invariably, get what you pay for. We buy Lego, Playmobil, PlanToys, etc. for our kids. These are all up there in the price bracket because they are durable and they fit together beautifully and consistently. My toddler son is now using my daughter's old Duplos and they look just like they did when we bought them. We buy "junk" toys occasionally, such as Polly Pocket, and I usually regret it. I paid $30 for a Polly Pocket "RV" and it literally went to pieces after very gentle use in a matter of days. I threw the whole thing away after a couple of weeks and she didn't care. My daughter will not remember that piece of junk when she is an adult but, like me, she will remember her Legos. I agree that there is quite a bit of space left over in this bucket, but you do see the piece count right on the package. Perhaps 400 sounds like a lot, but when it comes to Legos, yes, you do probably want more and the great thing is, with the excess room in the tub, you have room to add more pieces just like we did with her Duplo tub.
