Parts are all very similar to what I had 30 years ago. Definitely some improvement, but also some 'mass-production' quality issues (The plastic parts) - But overall a great, quality toy. It enables me to spend some quality time with my 5 year old son. - Granted, there are too many tiny parts, complicated assembly diagrams, and conceptual steps for him to do alone, but that seems to be the reason we both enjoy it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Value but..., September 23, 2008

I only have one issue with the toy and that is with regards to packaging. Once you open the box there are no mini-boxes or compartments where you can store the hundreds of bolts and nuts seperately. We have to place everything in one big box and it takes too long to search for individual items when assembling the projects

Other than this the toy is of great value for the price and is teaching my boys a lot

My 17 year old LOVES this set. In the first week he made a working crane and then built a truck to set the crane on. He was able to follow the directions easily. Then he was able to quickly figure out ways to build his own creations. Well worth the money.
