I was just telling a friend I wish I had saved my Girder and Panel building set from when I was a kid because I LOVED it. I am so happy this company has brought it back and I think my kids will have just as much fun as I did with mine.

This review is from: Girder and Panel Tekton Tower (Toy)

My 6 year old son bought this with his own money and he loves to build with it. He's been a Lego fan and now he has something new to build with. He's already requested other Tekton pieces. The only downfall is that windows are hard for him to get on and some need to be cut to be able to fit in the building designs but as long as he can build, he doesn't care if some windows are missing.

My son says the Tekton building system is "pretty fun". He picked it out of a catalog for Christmas. At first it was confusing and he thought he had to trim the panels to make them fit. Once he realized how they went together he had no trouble making buildings. He thinks it could be much more durable.
