I really like this set. I picked this up as a "just because" present for my nephew. He loves Legos and just recently got a "Lego Table" for Christmas. The Lego sets are great, but sometimes they just seem very overpriced. I had heard some negative things about the Best-Lock sets, about missing pieces, others that won't fit together or stay locked, etc. I'm very glad to say that I didn't experience any of that here. The pieces fit together snugly and my nephew and I put the Garbage Truck together in about an hour and a half thanks to the easy-to-follow instructions. The little guys look a bit different than standard Lego figures, but they're closer than the Mega Bloks, and it came with a lot of extra little accessories, which I liked. No complaints from me, and more importantly, no complaints from the nephew.

I gave this to my 5 year old grandson who is into building, especially vehicles. He was very pleased and for days on end played with the truck or rather built it. What better recommendation?

My 5 year old son built 95% of this one on his own. I would say that the only down side to this truck set is that some of the pieces were hard to push together. That was where I came in, to squeeze the difficult pieces together. In fact the instructions were fine and I only had to say "make sure you are doing it exactly as they show you in the illustrations" a few times. The quality of the individual pieces are not up to Lego standards. But the price was right and it was a nice project to do with my son on a quiet week-end morning. I would certainly recommend it as the real thing is too expensive to buy on a whim.
