3.0 out of 5 stars Anti-climactic, February 12, 2009
= Durability:3.0 out of 5 stars  = Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars  = Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Drop-n-Swing (Toy)
My five-year-old son and I love putting Knex together as a team. Everything went like clockwork with this model until we got to the "drop" seat which was the very last system. It was educational, because we had to keep checking and rechecking to see what had gone wrong. I was surprised how even this kept my son's attention. Finally, we called Knex. They were very helpful and knowledgeable, and admitted that they had put together 5 or 6 of these at the shop and none of the drop seats worked the first time. They said this particular model needed to be precisely snapped and balanced exactly how the directions indicate, or it doesn't work. So, we checked again. Still couldn't get it working. So, after a day's work, we just sadly put it aside.

My son wouldn't quit, however, and kept noodling with it for another day. I don't know how he did it, but he got it to work, and it wasn't by being obsessively exact. Kids are great, aren't they?

2.0 out of 5 stars Swing and Drop, December 7, 2008
= Durability:1.0 out of 5 stars  = Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars  = Educational:3.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Drop-n-Swing (Toy)
This is a fun product to put together and play with.

the chain is delicate and it has no extra links to use. We broke one link and had to figure out how to glue it so it would work.
The actuall drop part works now...I think. It does get stuck sometimes.

When it works properly, it is a fun toy.

3.0 out of 5 stars Hard to get the drop seat working., November 30, 2008
= Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars  = Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars  = Educational:4.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Drop-n-Swing (Toy)
We did not lose any pieces from this set, so we could build it all the way. The problem is that we couldn't get the drop part to work. Otherwise, the swing part works fine. We unhooked the gears to the drop part and we just run the swings. We operate the drop part by hand. I think Knex needs to change things so that the drop part works easily!
