1.0 out of 5 stars Company should try to assemble this before selling it, December 12, 2009

This review is from: Erector Multi Model Building Set - 5 Different Model to Build with One Set (Toy)

I can't speak for any other Erector Set toys, but this set is 1)Impossible to build (literally), and 2)Extremely flimsy. There are literally parts that don't fit according to the plan- it's obvious that the manufacturer took some short-cuts, and that the company making the set never tried to put the actual models together.

Amazon has plenty of great toys at great prices. Stay away from this one.

1.0 out of 5 stars terribly cheap...piece of junk, May 23, 2009

This review is from: Erector Multi Model Building Set - 5 Different Model to Build with One Set (Toy)

I realize this toy was only $30, but this is the biggest piece of junk I have ever seen. I put this together exactly like the instructions said and tighten everything good and snug, and the thing fell apart in my hands as I was putting it together. They use little rubber grommets instead of clips to hold shafts in place. These grommets fall off before you even get it together. I had an erector set when I was a child, and thought that it would be a great gift for my children to play with. But this toy is nothing like the one i had as a child. The poor quality of this product is absolutely disgusting and I would never buy another product from this company again. I would not recommend this toy or any other products from this company to anyone.

If you plan to build this and never use it - it might be okay. The set falls apart multiple times while you are trying to assemble it.

Most importantly it is listed as rated for ages 8 and up and there is no way this is age appropriate for an 8 year old.
