3.0 out of 5 stars Spend The Extra Money And Get The Eitech Model, March 7, 2010
= Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars  = Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars  = Educational:3.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Erector Motorized Ferris Wheel Set 477 Pieces (Toy)
This is, for the most part, a pretty neat little ferris wheel set. It comes as a 477 piece set.

Pros-- It's mostly made of metal, very little plastic, so it's very durable and sturdy when it's fully assembled and when all of the screws and nuts are tightened down. It's neat to watch when it's all adjusted out correctly.

Cons-- The instructions are hard to follow, it's all visual for the most part, no written out instructions. The tools that are provided aren't the best in the world, especially the little wrench. The wheel runs off of 2 rubber bands and a pulley that connects to the motor, and the tension on the rubber bands has to be good and snug so that it will turn the wheel, otherwise it will slip, and it won't spin if the motor runs.

Overall, it's not the best model ferris wheel out there, however, if you are up for a challenge with tiny screws and bolts, this is the model for you. It's all color coded.

My advice is spend the extra money and get the Eitech model. It's very similar but larger in diameter, more detailed, more challenging, and requires no rubber bands to make it run, it's gear-to-gear driven, no pulleys.

1.0 out of 5 stars They do not ship the Special Edition set!, December 12, 2008

They do not have the special edition set! This is just the normal Ferris Wheel set, that does NOT come in a carrying case. This cames in a light cardboard box with the pieces loose inside the box. It is still a good set, and it does have all the pieces etc, but you are not ordering the special edition set.

Nothing like going back to your childhood. At 66 years old I recaptured some of my childhood by putting this Ferris wheel together. What a blast. I now have the assembled Ferris wheel sitting on a shelf in my den and I periodically throw the switch and get it moving. I recommend this to anybody with a young at heart mentality.
