Toys and Games Reviews of Learning Resources Gears! Gears! Gears! Movin' Monkeys
Customer Review: Should have listened
Summary: 3 Stars
I know, everyone said that the parent will end up doing all of the work, but I held out hope that somehow my kids would sit down together and build this. But I was wrong. It really is a marvel once it is together, but I have wayyyy too much to do than sit for an hour putting this together, only to have it yanked apart. If you have a dedicated space to keep it together all of the time then that's great, but then again, how long can spinning monkeys hold a kids attention? I think I would have skipped this one.Customer Review: VERY Disappointed
Summary: 1 Stars
I expected from the ad copy that the monkeys would travel around this piece. They don't. Some of them are attached to gears that cause a particular monkey to rotate around one piece, but that's as far as the "movin" goes. Also, the gears don't mesh well and lock up repeatedly. And since all of the gears are connected, it's almost impossible to identify exactly where the problem(s) is/are. Plus, young children can neither build this on their own nor trouble-shoot if it develops problems. I feel scammed.Customer Review: Awesome Toy
Summary: 5 Stars
My son got this for Christmas last year (he was 2 1/2) and to this day (almost a year later), he STILL plays with it! It is one of his favorite toys. He plays with it almost daily. We are purchasing him expansion sets this Christmas! And even after almost a year of playing with the pieces, we still have every single piece! This is the best gift, very fun and if you have a child like mine with a big imagination, your child will have literally hours of fun with it. If I could rate it 10 stars, I would!Customer Review: Many Tree Pieces
Summary: 4 Stars
The toy is about what I'd expected except for one thing: The trees/towers are made of many little pieces that are difficult for kids to put together. In fact they were difficult for adults to do. I'd suggest putting them together once and leaving them that way when packed up. Also, when I read how many pieces there were in different sets I didn't consider the fact that half the pieces in this set were tower structure as compared to base platforms, gears, and monkeys.Customer Review: Impressed first-timer
Summary: 5 Stars
We've never owned "Gears" equipment before but bought this for our 6 year-old who is crazy about assembling blocks. He wasn't super-interested in building the model shown in the instructions, but has been assembling other things. My 8 year-old totally got into the model, though. He didn't need help interpreting the instructions but my 6 year-old did. Product is very durable and user friendly for small hands.
