5.0 out of 5 stars So Glad I didn't listen to the other review's!, December 4, 2002

This review is from: Mega Bloks - 9890 - Dragons - Warriors Fortress (Toy)

I bought this set for Christmas and hadn't checked on any reviews prior to buying it. When I finally meandered over here and read all the negative reviews I got worried. I had my husband open up the warrior fortress and build it to see if any of the reviews held true for us. They didn't and don't.

My husband and I suspect perhaps people that had problems with mega blok are those that have never built with them before and are simply used to Legos. They are not lego's don't expect them to be. They are mega bloks and are a little harder to snap together than legos are. We have had mega bloks in the past so this was not something that shocked us.

My husband put the warrior fortress together in an hour. I watched him do it while I assembled the men and various other small things. The directions we not difficult they just took a few moments to get used to.

As for it's strength, I can tell you that since my husband built it last week it's still standing in my closet (we decided to just keep it built and surprise my son on Xmas morning with it covered up somewhere). Now I go in and out of my closet several times a day and in doing so I've knocked it about, ran into it and tossed some stuff on top of it. It's still standing. Not one piece has rattled or fell off.

My son is going to be absolutely delighted with this. The dragons alone are worth the price they are HUGE!

So glad I tested it myself

2.0 out of 5 stars Poor Directions, November 11, 2002

It is almost impossible for children under 10 to assemble these pieces. The included directions are very poor and do not not even display or mention some of the smallest pieces. If the children actually play with them instead of just building them, the small pieces fall apart easily. The age limit is 8 on up, but it is definitely more suited for 12 or above.

3.0 out of 5 stars Megablocks will never enter my house again, November 13, 2002

Although the castle looks cool it is a piece of garbage! The pieces do not stay together - the instructions are horrible! My husband spent hours gluing the pieces together just so the kids could at least play with it. I've already warned my boys that this is the last Megablocks product we will EVER buy!
