Toys and Games Reviews of LEGO X-Large Gray Baseplate (628)
Customer Review: NOT GOOD TO BUILD ON - DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased Lego Duplo blocks for my toddler, and thought this would be a great idea to build things on, since it would keep everything in place. I didn't realize, however, that it would be a FLIMSY piece of plastic that should cost NO MORE THAN $2 - and even THEN I wouldn't buy it! It moves/slides around too easily, so it won't stay in place on a tabletop, and I doubt it would on any other surface! I put my daughter's on top of a Little Tikes table (a GREAT buy for $[...] - she LOVES it!), and used DUCT TAPE to secure it to the table! (little loops under the plate around all of the edges, so she can't peel it up!) It works well, but this is the ONLY way I can see it doing so! FIND ANYTHING ELSE TO BUILD ON TOP OF - MAYBE EVEN THOSE TABLES THEY MAKE SPECIFICALLY FOR LEGO-BUILDING!!!!!Customer Review: It's not what I remember.....
Summary: 4 Stars
Yes, it's a grey 15" square Lego plate. But I seem to remember the "baseplates" being the same thinkness as a regular Lego piece. ...the base plate is a thin (1/16"?), flexible Lego baseplate that will allow you to build really big stuff, but it's tough to use on the "living room carpet" because it is so thin it flexes into the carpet when you try to press a "house" onto it. The result is that either only one corner of the house sticks, or it sticks fine, but all the other structures you've put on, flex off.Anyway, it's a vital item in any kid's (or adult's) Lego set....
Customer Review: Unused...
Summary: 2 Stars
Well, it seemed a no brainer to have a base for the Lego bricks my son got along with this item for Christmas. Unfortunately, this piece of plastic has been overlooked and unused since it was opened and has proved unessential for my children's enjoyment of Legos. To it's credit, it has held up after being stepped on, flung, and tossed aside in room cleaning. But I do regret spending the $15+ shipping to get it. Unless you are a die-hard lego sculptor and/or need it, skip this item. Just another thing to clean up along with the hundreds of bricks they actually play with.Customer Review: Pretty disappointing
Summary: 1 Stars
This is one flimsy piece of plastic! I was very disappointed when i received this Lego version of the base plate. Our Duplo version is much thicker and sturdier, so it's a surprise that this one is so thin and cheap. I certainly don't feel like I should have to get out my glue gun and MDF to "fix" it, as another reviewer did. (Great problem solving, but it shouldn't be necessary.) Alas, we will keep it because a base plate really is needed for any serious Lego creation, and there aren't alternatives that I know of. C'mon, Lego, I expect much higher quality from you!Customer Review: This product's chief virtue is to offer a lesson in the school of hard knocks

.
for those who fall for it. Look under "Bricks & More Building Plates" and you will find (as of this writing) the very same 15 x 15-inch base plate ("Building Plate" in LEGO terminology), with the very same item no. (628), with no indicated differences, and about $2.60 cheaper.
As always, it pays to shop around. Maybe even comparison-shop within this one vendor, when they get sloppy at times like this.
