I bought this for my son's 5th birthday (who is very mechanically-minded) and am very diappointed that the pieces do not stay together. He can hardly move it or play with it without several of the pieces falling off. It seems too complex for 4+ which is what is says on the box (my husband had to put the whole thing together for him), especially given that the pieces do not stay together well - it ends up being frustrating instead of motivating. On the other hand, my 3-year-old daughter likes playing with the 2 mini-people and animals separately. Overall, we are very disppointed especially for the money...I don't think we'll get much long-term enjoyment out of this one. I liked the concept but after this experience I'm hesitant to try any of the other Gears! products.

Looked cool and the kids were excited to put it together. But this toy was a huge disappointment. As noted in the previous review, some pieces don't stay together (there are pieces that actually PUSHED themselves apart) - and the gears don't mesh consistently (some pieces are just too big to get the gears close enough together to work well!). I'm contacting LR for a remedy - otherwise they will end up on my NO list.
