Cool concept but the little Motor is not strong enough to make the bigger builds even from the suggested builds in the book
I would not buy again.

I purchased two of these kits from a discount store. When trying to build with them, they broke with little to no pressure applied. I cannot get a refund for them. Very disappointed with product.

I get it out each year when the Grandkids come to visit, they all enjoy it as do I. This year all the turquoise square tubes cracked and broke when we tried building with it. I was hoping to find replacement parts for it!
Pieces don’t fit, broke first use! Don’t buy!!!

Pieces don’t fit well together. Some of the pieces broke the first time we put them together. I, as an adult, could barely get the pieces together, not sure how my child is supposed to be able to do so. Also, after building the design in the book, it didn’t even function properly (couldn’t move)- likely due to the pieces not fitting well.
I might buy this product for a friend.

At this price LR should provide spares, including wheels. Initial fun, then huge disappointment. I had hoped this would be long lasting toy that both my grandchildren would continue to grow into.

We have had this product for three years now. It was bought for my son when he was three. He loved it then and still loves it now at six. The technical skills and what he does with it increases with his age. Initially he would create what was shown in the instructions with help and now he is using them to build all kinds of things. It is very durable and easy to put together. Recently the motor stopped working but with a simple email to the company I received a prompt response and a new motor mailed to us at no charge. Great customer service!
Fun, but stopped working in one month

I purchased it for my daughter, we used it a few times and she loved it, but then the motor stopped working. Have requested a new motor, will revise review if able to use the product.

This product was great fun the first year or so then the plastic tabs all started to crack off with any use. We were not harsh with the toy it just dried out and started to crack and break. The flat panels were cracking in half with the slightest pressure. VERY VERY disappointed in the long run. The quality is very low.
Awesome Toy!

My boys have had these toys for about 2 years now. They still at age 5 and 8 will play with them for hours. It's like a puzzle that moves. The only drawback is that some pieces are missing. If you could buy replacement gears and not just motors I would have given this 5 stars.
Wonderful gift!

my 5 yr.old daughter received this as a gift and we all had fun building it together. It is an excpetional inter-active toy for the whole family. My sister-in-law buys gifts from your business every year for our child. We will start buying also, we love the company.
My 3 1/2 year old grandson absolutely loves it.

I bought this set for my 3 1/2 year old grandson for Christmas last year and it was the hit of the season. He absolutely loves it. It is almost a year later and he still plays with it often. Some of the things he has created with this set amazes me. He has even mastered creating things that move using the remote control. So, even though it is recommended for ages 5-9, if your child is younger but likes to build things get this set he/she will love it.
