Ok set but not great
 
Review Date: May 22, 2010
Reviewer: R. Dayrit,
As many others have commented, this set can be challenging. I got this to supplement the pieces in the 400 piece value tub.

My 5 year old took several hours (spread over a couple of days) to put it together and did get frustrated during the process but managed to complete it by himself. He even commented that he had to be careful and gentle with it. It takes a fair amount of patience so be honest about how much patience you and your child have before buying this. I don't think my 4 year old or I have the patience to mess with it but my 5 year old has always enjoyed challenging puzzles.
The worst crap that you can ever buy

Never stays together. It falls apart while you are trying to build it. I have built many many toys for my son but this totally throws me out of my patient. Even after you are so careful to build it spending almost an hour not to make it fall apart. It takes only a half of a second for your 5 years old son to bring it back to you to build it again.


NOT WORTH IT!!!!!!!!!
Frustrating

After my 5 year old had a great experience with the Knex ferris wheel, which uses mainly rod-shaped pieces and not lego-shaped blocks, we tried this set. It is FRAGILE and frustrating. It falls apart at the slightest touch. The only reason I gave this two stars is that my son likes to use the stripped down chassis/motor/wheels assembly to play with, without all the dump truck parts on top.
If you want blocks, stick to LEGO

Reviewer: Frustrated,
I agree with the previous reviews. The instructions are difficult, even for an adult. And the LEGO-like pieces are just a cheap imitation that refuse to stay together. My son loves the rod-and-connector pieces at school, but this one is awfully frustrating.
In the beginning, fun; in the end, horrible

My name is Miguel and I am 7 years old. When I first started it seemed really cool. But then when I was kind of in the middle of it, it got really hard. Then I had to put one piece on the truck and it all fell apart. It was impossible to get it all to stay together. And this is supposed to be for five and up!
