Maxim 50 Pc Tumbletree Town w/ Buildings, Vehicles and Accessories Review

Maxim 50 Pc Tumbletree Town w/ Buildings, Vehicles and Accessories
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I originally got these blocks for my 2 1/2 year old for Christmas and it turns out my 12 and 13 year old kids love them too! It seems no one is too old to enjoy building with blocks. The cars, trees and people add to the fun and imagination and my little one loves knocking over the towers even more than building them. What a great product!

City planners can stack the decorated blocks to build a few skyscrapers, a bunch of medium-sized buildings, or just have loads of little one-story buildings. Each car and truck has a place to go in this busy town. After rescuing a cat from a tree, the fire engine can put down its ladder and go back to the fire station. The mail truck can deliver mail to all the buildings and then carry out-of-town mail to the train station for pickup by the next cargo train. If the people get tired of walking, the taxi can give them a ride. Besides being a great addition to any train collection, it's perfect for those times when you need to pack a few toys to take along on vacation or a visit to Grandma's. With trucks, cars, people, trees and signs, you don't need to bring along a whole train set to have hours of fun. Includes 29 building blocks with painted details, four trucks, three cars, four people figures, four trees and six traffic signs.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is one in a series of cars that are built by this company and all of them are fantastic. I use them in my work with children who give them a major workout. They are fun, well built, educational, and of interest to many age groups.
I love them.

This performance version of the C9 sportscar is a must have for Automoblox enthusiasts. A special deep red color with two color emblems and fully branded center caps speak to its serious performance capabilities. The C9R rides lower to the ground on larger, more aggressive wheels with ultra low-profile tires. Front and rear blocks, unique to the C9R, have been reworked to accept a front splitter and rear diffuser.

Quercetti Marble Run with Motorized Elevator, 177 Pieces Review

Quercetti Marble Run with Motorized Elevator, 177 Pieces
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Gave this to my 6 year old for his birthday. I helped him to construct it from the clear (no reading) directions along with my 10-year old daughter. The pieces go together flawlessly - the engineering of the plastic is superb. The elevator works as designed and the battery pack (2xAA) connects via a short cord - very convenient. He has already spent many hours playing with it!

Glow-in-the-dark: Solar System Planetarium Model Review

Glow-in-the-dark: Solar System Planetarium Model
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
A nice, quick, and easy way to introduce the planets and solar system to young minds. My daughter became quite interested in the planets and learning about the planets. It is a good family time project for young and old minds alike.
Drawbacks are that it is not very sturdy and easily breaks. We lost the Sun shortly after completing the model. Also, for obvious reasons, the scale in size and distance is not accurate. But this detail is lost on young minds and only older geeks like me notice it. However, with all the drawbacks, the family time used is well worth getting this item.

Haba Roman Arch Building Block Set Review

Haba Roman Arch Building Block Set
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
HABA's Roman Arch is a masterpiece of ingenuity, incorporating educational values with hands on fun. My four year old and I loved this toy, we build and rebuild it again and again, while telling the stories of the Romans and their contemporaries. The only downside I find in this toy is the fact that it is MADE IN CHINA, and not in Europe as one might expect from a toy of the HABA brand. The blocks are natural wood with no paint, however it is not clear what control HABA has on the wood processing.

Note: This set does not come with building instructions.Haba/TC Timber Master Builder Series is a wonderful collection of architectural wonders from around the world.Ingenuity and architectural brilliance inspired the Romans to incorporate form and function into design. The arches allowed the aqueducts to flow freely as to provide sufficient water for the growing cities. This large block set allows children to use and learn the same engineering principles the Romans followed.

KID K'NEX Construction Crew Building Set Review

KID K'NEX Construction Crew Building Set
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This fun kit will help your younger child to discover the world of construction vehicles. Who haven't drived past a construction crew repairing a road or a bridge? We do. And the boys are excited about seeing the big trucks.This kit will permit your boy (or girl for that matter) to discover how the BIG trucks work and how they can be used while working on the road.You can build five different machines with this kit. Each vehicle will have a big set of eye which makes it funny to play with.My boys are a bit old for this box but I think it would be a wonderful gift for a little one.My daughter loves to build with Kid K'Nex but somehow she is not as attracted to trucks and vehicles as boys would be. This box is geared for children ages 3 and up.

This set is beautiful and durable. My four year old loves this set and often combines it with others we have (St. Basil's and the Greek Temple) to make fantastic cityscapes. The trees and bushes with this set are the perfect finishing touch.

Fisher-Price TRIO Building Set with storage - Pink Review

Fisher-Price TRIO Building Set with storage - Pink
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This building set is much like the boy's set, which you can also find on Amazon. Except it's missing 6 pieces and costs $8 more. The set itself is lovely, but should you be paying an extra $8 for fewer pieces, just because it's pink and labeled for girls?
After looking at both sets, I bought the boys' set for both genders. I'm sure the girls will survive not having pink blocks.

The TRIO Pink Building Set from Fisher-Price features storage with bricks; sticks and panels provides more ways for kids to build their creativity. The set features easy to attach parts that click and hold together for big building play and provides multiple ways to build. Set includes specially colored bricks; sticks and panels and specialty parts such as a figure; car and chassis; eyes and durable tub for storage.Since 1930; Fisher-Price has been in business to create toys that fascinate and stimulate a child's imagination.

Still; Herman Fisher; Irving Price and Helen Schelle combined their diverse manufacturing and retailing experience to create a toy company and confidently brought 16 wooden toys to the International Toy Fair in New York City. The whimsical nature and magical surprises of those first Fisher-Price toys quickly caught on and became the hallmarks of Fisher-Price ever since.

LEGO Star Wars Republic Fighter Tank (7679) Review

LEGO Star Wars Republic Fighter Tank (7679)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this set because I wanted the figures and tank for my clone army. This set comes with one clone commander figure that has a normal printed head, torso, and helmet. The only thing different about the clone commander is he is equipped with gray commander gear and pistols. This set also comes with one normal clone trooper figure that has a normal printed head, torso, and helmet. He is equipped with a short blaster. The tank itself is a very complex build (it took me more then an hour to assemble) and when finished it looks very big and it has a lot of features. The tank has two storage compartments (one on each side of the tank) for the clone's gear and weapons. The tank also has two flip-out flick-missile launchers (one on each side of the tank) that are equipped with three flick-missiles each. The tank is equipped with two primary blaster cannons (one on each side of the tank) that can swivel up and down. The tank is also equipped with an anti-infantry turret that can swivel up and down, and side to side. The turret has a gunner seat that can pop up into position by opening the back hatch. The tank has a cockpit that has a seat for the driver with controls. The tank also has hidden wheels giving it the hovering look. The tank also has a hood that opens to reveal a small engine.Well, here are the basics of the set:
The good things
Clone commander
Clone trooper
Short blaster (also comes with one extra)
Commander gear
Commander pistols
Tank
Storage compartments
Flip-out flick-missile launchers
Primary blaster cannons
Anti-infantry turret
Pop up gunner seat
Hidden wheels
Opening hood
Engine
Two printed republic symbol pieces
Two printed control panel pieces
The bad things
Stickers
Should have come with a specific commander (such as Gree, Cody, or Bly)
Over all, I highly recommend this set.

Uberstix Starter Set Review

Uberstix Starter Set
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this for my K'nex obsessed son because they supposedly work with K'nex. I suppose they do, but they BREAK. In fact they break ALL the time! Evidently it's something the manufacturer is quite aware of because there's an illustration in the instruction book about how you can use them in their new forms when they break!
My son decided to stick with his K'nex and I'm out an Uber lot of money.
