My boys are 3 and 6, and both will play with this toy for hours (alone and with their friends). We dump the pieces out on the living room floor and my husband and I have to make the boys put it away! The gears are really brightly colored but the motorized remote control piece is what really captivates the kids. I am looking forward to purchasing more gears to go with this set so we can make some really complex creations, and also have two remotes. The only complaint I have with this toy is the sticker sheet that comes with the set -- the stickers have not been stamped out of the sheet, so you literally have to cut them out with scissors, and then cut a hole in each one so you can attach gears without the sticker in the way. This is a real pain. It would have been so easy to fix. Otherwise, a great invention!

My 5 year old has the starter set and I bought him this one for extra pieces, plus some fun one like the eyes and hands. He absolutely loves them, but the real improvement over the starter set was the motor. When hand turning his creations before, the gear would often "hop" off the base because of his uneven turning, which was very frustrating. This problem has been completely eliminated by the motor. The motor is pretty strong and can power rather large creations. My son never tried to follow the instructions, but just builds his own things and really loves this toy.

It's Oogly Googly! C'mon! It's the best child toy on the market. If I'd had this toy as a child I would never have left the basement.

We purchased this for our three-year old boy for Christmas. He loves it, especially when you can get him away from just playing with the controller. I had purchased this toy for my seven-year old when he was young and he played with it so much.

Honestly, I don't think you can go wrong with this toy.
