K'nex has released the Lincoln Logs Bicentennial Edition to commemorate the 200th anniversary of President Abraham Lincoln's birth. This collector's tin of their classic house-building toy features 100 wooden pieces, including various logs, roof slats, eaves and chimney pieces. Designed for children ages three and older, Lincoln Logs will entertain kids today as they have for generations past.
Outstanding Detail and Craftsmanship
This bicentennial collector's tin features the sort of high-quality craftsmanship we've come to expect from Lincoln Logs over the years. Each log has been cut from high-quality wood, and stained in a rich brown varnish. In addition, select pieces, like the roof slats and eaves, are stained with red or green coloring. The logs are sturdy, strong, and splinter-proof, which means kids experience sliver-free play.

A Timeless, Educational Building Toy
Invented in 1916 by John Lloyd Wright, Lincoln Logs might seem out of place in an age of electronic toys and technical gadgetry. However, these simple wooden toys have an undeniable charm that stretches across generations, and remain popular today. They've sold over 100 million sets worldwide.
Playing with Lincoln Logs is simple and enjoyable. Logs come in different lengths, and have notches cut into them where other logs can interlock. Smaller children should have no problem handling the logs when playing. More advanced builders might feel limited by the linearity of building with Lincoln Logs. Still, there's enough variety in this tin to construct dozens of cabins, watchtowers and more. Even adults will enjoy the nostalgia while playing with kids.
Although they are simple, the interlocking wooden pieces teach kids engineering skills, enabling them to think like an architect would. Log structures also require a little finesse to assemble, which will develop kids' hand-eye coordination and spatial reasoning. Recommended for ages three and older.
What's in the Box
100 Lincoln Log pieces, including 87 wood logs, 8 green wood logs, 2 green wood roof slats, 2 red wood eaves, 1 red wood chimney, and instructions.
 With Lincoln Logs, your child will have limitless building possibilities. View larger. |  Build a town hall.... View larger. |  ...or a quaint, Lincoln-style log cabin. View larger. |

Not what it "used to be...",

This review is from: Knex Bicentennial Edition Lincoln Logs (Toy)
While these Lincoln Logs are great... and they are wooden..., if you were a kid in the 70s you'd remember that there were 4 notches on the longest stick on which to build great big log cabins and forts, etc. These came with some new adaptations, of which most were acceptable, however, the longest stick was the 3 notched log and so... the saga of putting together incredible log structures has diminished to that of smaller less creative imagination creations. Don't get me wrong, it still is almost all that a collectors edition ought to be sans the 4 notch and the multitude of ideas/ directions for building the structures is missing. Kind of like buying the "little" 1 vehicle model of Legos instead of the "whole kit" version. Fun... just not quite the same!

This review is from: Knex Bicentennial Edition Lincoln Logs (Toy)
I haven't even opened the bags holding the wooden logs yet, so won't comment on them. There are definitely fewer of them than the set I had as a child.The other reviewer who commented on the toxic smell was right - it's potent. Luckily I was buying for myself, not a child. I once bought a mahjong box imported from China with the same smell...2 years later, it hasn't gone away. The tin is thin and cheap. My childhood set (from the '70s) came in a cardboard tube with a plastic top, and it was infinitely more sturdy than this "collectible" tin. In addition, the top was held on with clear tape that left a thick sticky residue when I removed it. I once bought a popcorn tin at a dollar store that suffered from the same problem.... I didn't expect it with this tin, for $30+. Sad. And I have to add $3 to the price I paid for the tin just for the naphtha I used trying to remove the residue! I also had to be extremely careful, so as not to bend the cheapo tin or its lid. On the plus side, the logs seem to be better stained than the set I had as a kid - darker and more uniform, especially the green ones. Of course, as I said, I haven't actually opened the bags yet.

This review is from: Knex Bicentennial Edition Lincoln Logs (Toy)
When my adult son told me he thought this was the best present he ever received - I decided to get a set for the grandchildren. I guess they were"as advertised", but not great by a long shot. There are flaws in the specs, and only enough to make one building at a time anyway. I guess I should have known it couldn't be the same....
