This review is from: Lego X-Pod Collector's Pack (65535) (Toy)
I've had a lot of fun with the surprisingly deep board game that LEGO offers with the x-pods. THe variations of strategy are endless, and the rules are much easier to learn than games like warhammer or the like. Building with legos is fun, but actualy having a way to pit your creations against each other is even better. The pods are fun little sets to just mess around with too.

This review is from: Lego X-Pod Collector's Pack (65535) (Toy)
I keep one of these pods on my desk at work to noodle with when my brain gets fried in the afternoon. It helps me loosen up and actually get work done after 2pm. My favorite has to be the Wild (red) x-pod. I tend to enjoy making kawaii figures, and this x-pod has those awesome white discs for big critter eyes. The robots, although providing a lot of pieces, seem a bit limited if you keep each pod intact. Jumbling all the pod pieces together obviously opens more possibilities.The pod can also double as a paper clip holder or pistachio bowl.

A Great Beginner for 5-yr olds,

This review is from: Lego X-Pod Collector's Pack (65535) (Toy)
DESCRIPTION:The x-Pods in this toy are the original four offered by LEGO with a 5th "Black" pod which has the same shaped pieces (but of a different color) as the included "Green" pod. LEGO does not sell this x-Pod product online at their site anymore, and is currently selling four new x-Pods, equally fun, but without the pre-packaged board and cards for the game (which you can now download from lego.com). INTRODUCING TO KIDS: If you are introducing your child to LEGOs, this is a great first LEGO set. The limited number of pieces keeps the experience from being overwhelming (what does a 4- or 5-yr-old do with 1,000 pieces?) while it forces inventive creativity. My 5-year-old has had a great time inventing boats from the Auto Pod, explaining each feature with intricate detail (this is where they sit, & this is a fan, & this is a grill); and as LEGO said in 1970s literature with their toys, I know it's a boat because my 5-yr-old says it's a boat. The x-pod is also a good first set because it is self-contained and easily portable. Although the pieces are also easy to lose, you can keep track of them by using the inventory sheet in the back of the game booklet contained in this product, to see if you need to look for a missing piece. Most pods have unique pieces that allow movement (tipping, rotating, racheting, etc.), which tend to be a bit more difficult for young children to assemble, but which add to the invention possibilities more than the regular pieces. LEGO is right on the button for age-appropriateness (If it says 5+, don't give it to your 3-yr old). *TIP*: If you have any trouble disassembling, you should buy the <$2 brick splitter from lego.com; it works wonders.
