Great addition!
Great addition to any existing lego set. Lots of great and useful pieces. My children love it!

Legos are a fun toy for all ages.
I work with kids (4th -8th grade) and their families. I've found that legos are a great activity for the families to do together. It's amazing to see families communicating as they build little towns, cars and houses.

LEGOS FOR THE FUTUR BUILDER
Although Legos are the ultimate toy for creativity and imagination, it would be nice if the size of the Legos were made clear to the buyer.

My grandchildren love to play with Legos but now I have 3 different sizes which makes it hard for the two of them to share since none of the boxes of Legos has enough pieces for 2 children to play with.

I do most of my shopping on line and I wish that Legos would make it clear as to the size and number of pieces of the Legos contained in the box.

Fabulous set, need a few of them!
This is such a fabulous starter set for Legos. It has all the right "boy" parts in it including airplane propellers, race car steering wheels, etc. This set is very well loved in this house and has built everything from race tracks to helicopters. Great, great fun and provides HOURS of entertainment. If you are getting these for a true Lego afficionado, be sure to pick up a couple of them. It has quite a few pieces but to truly build a bunch of stuff, you'll need more. Wait for a sale, however, Easter and Christmas usually provides a great sale at the giant toystore with an r in the name. Watch Amazon too - they knock ten bucks off the price every now and then! Highly, highly recommend!

Good starter set, but not all pictured creations can be built from this set
My 4 year old loved the duplo set he's had since he was one. He loves to build things based upon the pictures provided. We got him this set to see if he'd still like the smaller ones too. He does.

This set has a lot of instructions and sample pictures for him to build. Herein lies the problem. Not all of the sample pictures can be built with the pieces provided in this set. Some pictures show parts that aren't in this set or they show the picture using more of the same part than what this set provides. This has proven to be a bit frustrating for my son who loves making it look just like the picture.

That being said he still loves his Lego set. With a younger 2 year old brother we've had to restrict its use to when his brother is sleeping as there a LOT of small 1x1 parts in this set. It can be challenging for a 4 year old to find such small parts in the big pile.

Also it wouldn't hurt to provide another set of wheels or two as my son loves making the vehicles and you can only make one at a time.
