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.

This was a Xmas gift for my daughter when she was 5 years old. We were all looking forward to playing with it, and it was on her wish list. You can imagine how very disappointed we were when we found the product does not work as expected. The parts are very colorful but when you set up the Oogly Googly monster, either his arms would continuously fall off or some other part of his body. It was a HUGE disappointment and especially for my daughter when we told her we would have to return it since it does not work as advertised. Simply put, another piece of overpriced junk.

We bought this for our grandson--age 4, for Christmas. Difficult for a 4 yr old to put together. It kept falling apart even when his mom built it. Also, just crawled along, then tipped over & fell apart. Over & over again.
Edit--2 wks later--He is having much more fun with this now. The parts can't be put together very high, or they will fall apart (one of the recommended designs was what the original review was based on) If he is happy with it--that's what counts! Increasing to 4 stars overall.

We already had one box of Gears but adding this set was great as our six year old is into building moving robots.
He plays with all the pieces for ages, each time making a new masterpiece.
They are fun for us adults to watch as they lumber across the room.

My 7-year old son spends hours playing with this set. Sometimes he follows the instructions but mostly he does his own designs. He loves to walk along with the remote and steer his contraptions. The first set he got stopped working due to a wire coming loose so his grandmother got him another one. I guess they could be built a little better.

I bought this product for my 5 year old for Christmas (instead of a legos). He really loves to follow instructions and build build build, and I thought the motorized aspect would be cool. It was very frustrating when we could not figure out why oogly dancing guy would not move, cord keeps winding around him etc. Then we built the pooch, not detailed enough instructions and the final product did not move cohesively. Poor product for the price.
