Classic starter set for ANY age

This is the lego set of kids dreams! Comes with many pieces in mixed sizes and colours. Also comes with a green plate in the top to display any of your lego creations. The box is sturdy, see-through top is a mom's best friend, and the collection that comes with this box does not fill it up to the top, so you can add additional Legos that you buy later or already have! GREAT STORAGE BOX, I absolutely love it! Box is not big or obnoxious for easy storage anywhere. If your kid loves Legos, and needs a great place to store them: Get this box! If your child is new to Lego: Buy this box, its a great starter set for any age!

Lego Building Set -- Good in Some Ways, Bad in Others

There are both good and bad things about this Lego set. I feel the good and bad points are about equal.

First, the good points. It has 405 pieces of which most are seven different colors and of great quantities. This facilitates the mixture of colored parts.

Second, the bad points. It comes in a large bin, which is mostly filled with parts in five plastic bags. These bags are relatively hard for anyone to open. I mostly needed a scissor to do this. After the bags are opened and discarded, the pieces only fill a small portion of the bin. This is good and bad, meaning the bin is very lightweight and deceptive at point of purchase. The good part of this, is additional quantities of parts can be mixed with the initial set. This adds to the weight of the bin. However, simply doubling the set, which I have, only fills the bin slightly further.

If you want a good starter set, buy this set. Know this however, you will want to expand this set by purchasing other Lego sets. In the meantime, Leggo my Lego and let us have fun building and creating.

Cute and fairly practical!

I love that it has its own case! My nephew loves carrying it around. However, a few of the pieces are EXTREMELY small and were almost instantly lost. Definitely not for young kids! Overall though very cute and I would buy it again!

Great Starter Set

A good starter set for youngsters moving up from the Duplo sets. Included pictures help kids to figure out what they might like to build, whether it's following the picture exactly or build something brand new.

Very nice set -- 4 clones included

This is another great set from Lego -- quick and easy to assemble, very fun to play with. A competent 5 year old will have NO TROUBLE with this set. There's room for two clones to ride on the battle walker -- I think that's adorable but my son says it's cool.

The price is right on this one -- good set, not expensive.

We love these blocks!

These were a gift for my son who enjoys building with any kind of blocks. These are very nice blocks that stack easily. The box is heavy they are stored in, but you have to expect that since the blocks are so large. Overall, we love these blocks and would recommend them to anyone who has a child who likes to build.

Mom of twins

I was happy with this product over all. The design on it and none of the blocks were rough or had any edges that felt like it might come apart and leave slivers in the skin. That was my main concern besides my boys throwing them at each other. I have twins that are two years of age and they love these blocks. I felt the price was decent for the quality and quantity plus i couldnt find anything like this in stores, I had been searching for anything they could build with that wasnt small enough to put in there mouths and the huge lego sets come with like 6 large pieces and to buy two of them would be pricey and the pieces wouldnt be enough to satisfy my two boys cause they would fight over them. So over all i personally love this item and it comes in handy for me cause there is enough for the two of my boys to play with together and it helps them learn to balance and stack pieces as they grow cause this kind of toy can stick with them over the years unlike many others.

Love them!

We've had these blocks nearly a year, and they are a huge hit with both of my kids! They are slightly heavy if you were to try and carry the entire box of them around the house, but the wooden box they come in is great for storage, and sturdy also. My only 'complaint' is that with the kids getting older (and 3 of them!) we may need to purchase another set sometime. They are super durable too...highly recommend them!

My 4 and 2yos love these!

Great purchase. We've built a town for Polly Pocket and friends. :) The 2yo like to build and tear down... my 4yo plays and plays and plays. It's great!

Also, I imagine that later on we will want another set, but this quantity is enough for now. We combine them with a smaller set of unit blocks (16 pieces) and it's enough for us.

Great for all ages

I purchased these blocks for my Sons birthday. I had a homemade set when I was young so I was concerned about the quality and durability of the wood. After inspection I was very impressed with the quality and these were even better! I think Dad(me)might have just as much fun with these as son ;-)

So cool

The wings on this Tie Fighter fold in, and the cockpit opens up to hold Darth Vader himself. Awesome. There is a clip underneath for Vader's light saber.

These wings are much, much more durable and less prone to fall apart than the wings on the Hyena Droid Bomber, although of course they "transform" less -- these wings are hinged. Lego has the hinges down to a good science -- they are easy to build and hold up well under play conditions.

This is a great toy for the money -- lots of play time on this one. Not too challenging, but enough pieces to be really fun to build.

Lego star wars Darth Vader tie fighter

Fabulous anniversary set!

If you have a Star Wars Lego lover in your house, DON'T pass on this set! It is extremely durable, stands up to hours of play, and of course, the intricate designs that makes Lego famous are here in full resound. The cockpit for Darth even has a special place cut out in the bricks so that he can wear his full outfit,including his mask, quite comfortably. The hatch raises and lowers and there's even a spot on the bottom for extra light sabers. This guy went together in about 45 minutes by a nine-year-old and it's just the cat's meow in the neighborhood. Darth Vader is great as a minifigure and his face is even painted on the head. Great, great toy, loved a ton in this house. Highly recommend!

Lego Mindstorm, excellent buy

This is an awesome educational toy, but it is not for youngsters. Previous robotic knowledge makes this buy the ultimate!!

Mindstorms for the younger child

The box says 10+, but I am sure there are some other people with children younger than 10 who are interested in mindstorms.

I can definitely recommend mindstorms for children who are interested but some years under the recommended age. My six year old has had more joy from the mindstorms 2.0 than any other toy. At this age she builds robots from instructions rather than inventing her own robots and although she modifies programmes she has yet to create her own from scratch. However this growth of use should allow the set to be still entertaining as her abilities grow.

The set itself is restrictive though. The memory limitations show an update is really needed and some form of multiplexing to allow more sensors would really expand what can be created.

But a great purchase for 6-10 year olds who are over the conventional lego sets which often build only one thing and then they are of little further interest.

I'm a seventeen year old girl and I love my robot :)

I first saw this product last week. I volunteered as a counselor at a math and science camp, and one of the workshops was robotics. They used the Lego Mindstorms NXT 1.0, and I absolutely fell in love with the little robots. Each group of kids had to engineer a robot to navigate an obstacle course, and because I was a counselor, I was supposed to just let the kids engineer and program the robot on their own, so I wasn't allowed to play with the robots on my own. However, I thought that they were so much fun that I came home and asked my dad to get me one for my brother (who is younger) and me.

The toy is a lot of fun. I definitely recommend it for young kids (ages 8+, for younger kids, adult supervision is highly recommended) who like to build things and see them work. Most of the lego diagrams are well done and easy to follow, but it is easy to make mistakes. However, what is nice about these kits is that there is room for error, and sometimes the toy will still work even if there is a missing piece. It allows for creativity and experimentation, which is more fun then just following a guide book.

I think that because I am older (17), the program was really easy for me to learn to use. Younger kids may have a more difficult time with it, but the program does come with "getting started" guides and there are instructions for programming the robot for the different designs it provides, which is really helpful for understanding how the program works (ie. the sensors, loops, switches, etc.). I gave the educational value a "4" because this is really graphical programming, geared towards younger kids. Fortunately, programs can also be written in C++ and Java, or so I have been told by my friends. :) So, potentially, there is a greater educational value for kids interested in computer science or programming. There are also people that are more advanced with programming, and they can program the NXT to solve a sudoku or a rubiks cube (you can look up videos on youtube.)

Also, the thing is, you don't really learn much "robotics," like the stuff they do on high school teams. But this is definitely a good product to get your kids interested in building and programming.

The legos are durable, as lego pieces are... Sometimes the power of each motor is not exactly the same, so you may have to compensate for the unevenness of the movement when doing the program. A minor drawback is that the NXT "brick" eats batteries like a monster, so be sure to have 6 AA batteries on hand when it runs low (and don't forget to turn off the brick when you're done playing with it!)

So far, I have built the shooterbot using the ultrasonic and light sensors, and they work beautifully. It's a lot of fun, and rather impressive when things work out just the way you want them to. I think that this would be a great birthday or Christmas gift.

the MINDSTORMS NXT 2.0 rocks! (A KID`S REVIEW)

I think that this is the best toy ever. I got for my birthday and I`ve been playing with it everyday since. I would really recommend this to people who like Technic and power functions some places on the internet have free building instructions and pre-made programs to download. one of those places is [...].

Great product, but NOT UNDER WARANTEE FROM LEGO IF BOUGHT ON AMAZON !

I was debating whether to buy on Amazon or direct from Lego -- Lego posted there was a month's wait. When I called them to check they explained that if bought on Amazon the product was NOT under warantee from them. You may want to check this out.
