This set of 700 basic lego blocks is a good value. This is a nice set for making buildings, but it does not include wheels for making cars. Of the sets out there, this is one of the more colorful sets with two shades of green and two shades of blue blocks. The golden brick is unique, but it is hardly the reason to buy this. The box works fairly well for storage and can fit under the couch when not in use. As is the case in all of these sets, you get a fair number of smaller 1x1 and 1x2 bricks, but for under fourty dollars you get a lot of bricks. It would be nice if they included some wheels, but you might consider looking at lego dot com to add specific pieces that you like. Also, you might consider buying some used pieces (even dating back to the 1970s) from bricklink dot com.

This is a nice set of basic lego bricks. Nice colors, good variety of bricks, golden brick is a nice touch. Please note that this set does NOT have the little extras you might expect, like windows, doors, wheels, windshields, etc. Also no minifigs. Really just your basic bricks, so it's a nice addition to any Lego set, or maybe a first Lego set, but not terribly exciting all on its own. This set does not include any instructions or ideas, except for what's pictured on the box. If you want to see exactly what is included look it up at peeron.com and you can see exactly what bricks are in the set.

My 5-year old son loves this set but we gave it to him along with a couple of pounds of used specialty pieces and some minifigs and car parts so overall it's a good collection of Lego.

This is one of the few sets that is good for girls. Most of the sets are transformers, battleships, monster trucks, etc. Little girls like to build, too.

This is a set of blocks only which is a nice complement to the legos sets with the special pieces and directions. No directions here, the kids are able to create what they want and use their creativity. There are no windows, wheels or figures, just blocks. I bought this at Christmas and the price was [...], which was a good buy for 700 pieces. I am not sure that I would buy it for the current price.

LEGO 50th Anniversary Building Set The 50th Anniversary set is a great beginner, especially for young, small-motor-skills-challenged fingers. Wish there was a platform piece, but actually forces kids to think 'outside' any box.

We love this set of Legos. The only reason I didnt give it 5 stars all in all categories is that it is lacking parts like wheels and plane propellers that are pretty important to a 5 year old boy.

I can't complain, because it has exactly the pieces it says it should have, but the packaging is outrageous. The pieces would fit in a box less than a quarter of the size of this one. In this environment with an emphasis on green packaging, this is an embarrassment.

Also, if anyone knows of a place to get a lot of the larger pieces of this format of Legos, and less of the 1x1 and 1x2 pieces, I would like to know about it. I have to rob the few larger pieces from my "Star Wars", etc, Lego sets to make anything of any substance.

I found the Legos that I purchased for my grandson to be of good quality, much like the set I purchased for our sons in 1967. I do wish that there had been some "base plates" in the set but we find it a nice toy and one good for creativeness.

I love legos - can't say anything bad about it. I didn't think my 4 year old was ready for it, but he's already building rockets, and people.
Even my 1 year old likes them.

This set is great. The booklet provides a number of figures you can create with the pieces provided. My daughter cannot stop playing with this. Worth the $.
