Customer Review: Fun, but some things to be aware of
Summary: 4 Stars
This birthday present has delivered a fair amount of fun so far and my granddaughter (just turned 7) enjoyed building her first creation, but I question a couple of things. As a newly self-proclaimed tomboy :) she insisted on presents a boy would like, and I hoped this would fit the bill. She's not had the basic gear set but I hoped she'd be successful with this one and would be especially motivated because of the motorized action and lights. The set comes in a nice barrel shaped tub which makes clean up fairly easy and storage super. The tub is plenty big enough to hold all the pieces without a problem, however you do have to take apart the base to fit those pieces in. We may have just gotten a set with extra tough fasteners, but putting those flat squares together to form the base was REALLY hard. They didn't want to slide together or be pushed together and I ended up with a few bruises for my efforts (very forceful pushing), but eventually got them to fit together.
The kids (big brother helped just a little) then set to figuring out how to get the gear pieces to interlock so that they turned one another in multiple directions. After a few false starts they had success and developed a fairly elaborate setup that would go both forward and backward with the motorized control and the lights flashed appropriately (and were greatly enjoyed). They were very pleased with their creation, but then disassembled it and put the pieces back in the tub. I wonder if it will be sought out for play again. So far, it hasn't.
I think that for children who love building and are always looking for another way to satisfy that urge, plus are reasonably handy with interlocking pieces, this set is a good choice. It offers the opportunity for imaginative play and repeated use for the right child. On the other hand, it may be a one-trick wonder for children who don't have that natural need to build and rebuild.
