Product Description

Editorial Review

The Launcher Building Set is a 14-by-10-by-4-inch suitcase-style plastic box containing a kit for the serious K'NEX building system enthusiast. It gives you all the pieces and detailed illustrated instructions for building 25 different futuristic machines and creatures, including a dump truck, a dragster, a catamaran, a backhoe, a swing ride, and a bird with flapping wings. (You can even make a K'NEX picture frame.) Of course, you can also build any number of machines to your own specifications. Includes the parts for a jaunty, jointy droid named K'NEX Man. With their weird and wonderful family of snap-together rods, hubs, and wheels, K'NEX has created one of the coolest, most engrossing building concepts since those plastic blocks with knobs on top. --Richard Farr

From Parents' Choice®

K'nex launches the new millennium with "Galaxy Woman" and "Galaxy Man," two of the 22 models that can be made with this 280-piece set packed in a storage suitcase. After completing those, youngsters often go on to build their own original models. A 1999 Silver Award Winner. Recommended for ages 6 and up. (Ruth B. Roufberg, Parents' Choice®).

This review is from: Knex Launcher Building Set (22 Models) (Toy)

My seven year old son got this as one of his Xmas presents. We built the twirly-ride for our first project. Instructions were clear and model was fun to fiddle with when done. Great construction type toy for young minds. Some of the snapping together of pieces was hard for my son to manage, but otherwise great.
