My 9 year old son had some difficulty with the instructions, but I don't think they are that hard, you just have to lay out the pieces like the pictures illustrate. The toy is pretty durable, but not like a lego toy. My son has a lot of fun with the toy and I would have to give it a high replay value.

I don't disagree that it is very confusing to put together and not very durable, but my 7 year old is totally thrilled with it. The aliens are really just play dough like creations but he hasn't had so much fun with a toy in ages. It remains to be seen how long his enjoyment of it will last, but it's been great so far.

3.0 out of 5 stars Assembly nightmare, February 24, 2003

Assembly of this toy with the directions provided is impossible. The age recommendation of 6+ is accurate for PLAYING with the assembled toy, but an advanced degree is required to ASSEMBLE it. I found two errors in the assembly manual which cause the toy to not stay together properly. After some trial and error, and disassembly and reassembly, my wife and I were able to get the toy together in a mere 3 hours. The unfolding garbage truck is cool, however, the parts of the lab, which end up on the ceiling and walls inside the truck fall apart easily. To be a good toy this one would need better assembly instructions and to not fall apart so easily.
