1.0 out of 5 stars Large Bucket - Very Few Legos!, December 30, 2008

I am shocked at the reviews for this product. Nearly every review mentions the fact that the product is "over-priced for the number of blocks you get" or "you may want to skip this product and buy the deluxe duplo set". I totally agree!

This was definitely the most disappointing toy under the tree this year. Our little guy was graduating from Mega-Blocks to Legos and we put this on his wish list. Based on the nearly "5-star" reviews we chose this "first set". But 30 blocks doesn't build much folks. That is nearly $1.00 per block if you exclude the bucket they come in.

We are VERY disappointed in the value of this toy. Before you believe the other "5-Star" reviews, read them carefully. Nearly every one of them states "few blocks for the money" and/or "looking to get more blocks". I am not sure why they gave it "5-stars" if they thought the toy was insufficient for the price or play value.

If you need an expensive bucket to hold Lego's, then this product may be just what you need.

Sheesh!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Toy, December 12, 2007

This review is from: LEGO Duplo My First Set (5416) (Toy)

My son received this Lego Duplo set for his first birthday and he plays with it everyday! At first he just liked to knock down whatever I created with the blocks, but now at 15 months he can build too! The blocks are very colorful and sturdy. But this set is fairly small. We are purchasing the Deluxe set for Christmas to expand our building options- I might suggest starting with the bigger set and skipping this one!

A small complaint is that the lid is too hard for my son to open on his own, so we don't usually close it tight. Although, this could be a good feature if you needed to be sure the lid stayed on during travel or other circumstances.

We have several sets of these Duplos and they are still loved and played with by kids even when they get older. To be honest, they're wonderful to build huge towers with them, and the older kids also add the smaller legos for bridges, roads, etc. They're just great fun, will last a lifetime and the price here is great on them too. They're still loved in this house - highly recommend!
