i bought this product as a gift for my 8 year old cousin. at first i was skeptical that he could build it as it has so many parts. this was not the case at all. the build is based off of 3 pieces: a ball, socket and rod that click together. it was easy for him to build and the motion and sounds that the items makes are a nice bonus so that he can play with the item once it is built.

I bought this for my 13 year old son for Christmas and he absolutely loves it. He has been working at it in bits and pieces, and has not had any problems getting the pieces to fit correctly or understand the directions. He works on it for about a half hour or so before he goes to bed, for about 3 nights and has the head and all of the body complete. It is great to keep his hands busy while he is relaxing for bedtime. He has never had a set like this before, but has done K'nex and legos. If I find another set made by Struxx, I will will def buy another.

For all adults and engineers that responded....sometimes you need to think like a child and not an adult. As adults we tend to over think things.....this is part imaginaton, part directions.

I got this for my Grandson and he loves it. All of his friends and sister are really ejoying it.

It took all Christmas Day for two 14 year olds to assemble this but they liked the challenge and it was a challenge.
Usually you see a picture on the box that exaggerates the size of the toy but this thing was actually an impressive 3 feet tall with moving jaw and growling sounds.
The fun of this toy is in the building it. After that it is like a large static pet. It can be reassembled into other creatures though which extends it's interest.

The Robotrixx appears to be a complex but fun toy... unfortunately, I purchased for my nephew's 6th birthday... the age recommendations on Amazon read age 6 and above... when I received the toy, the box recommmends an older age. This toy is more appropriate for a child age 9 and over. I was dissappointed my nephew could not immediately play with the toy unless an adult is there to build it for him.

My 8 year old nephew said it was the best Christmas present he received from anyone. He worked on it every waking minute until he finished it. He saw the other items on the back of the package and wants to send for them.

A wonderful gift.

We purchased this toy for our 8 year old son for Christmas. He was able to mostly put it together without help, and without any complaints about the directions being unclear or difficult. He had to get an adult to help with some of the pieces that he wasn't strong enough to get together. The constructed product is much sturdier than the K'nex products he has put together in the past.

I bought it for my 10-year old Lego enthusiast son. It was much bigger than I guessed they really mean the four feet span . My son had a blast putting it together; it took a couple of days the instruction book is very good, and detailed, at 40+ pages . The electrical connections are not explained quite well, but he figured it out : .

We ll reconfigure this for other projects, too; I want to make a small model of Theo Jansen s mobiles:

My grandsons are big Lego fans, but the Lego sets are so expensive. They had a ball with this nice big set and, as much as they love their Legos, enjoyed something different for a change. Highly recommended.

Just had this delivered. Bought it for my grandson and it looks awesome. I was a big fan of erector sets back in my childhood but they just don't make those type anymore. This is a toy that builds mechanical skills. I am trying to find toys this year that will keep the grandkids away from video games and electronics. I am an old computer geek and love technology, but all these video games and electronics are turning our kids into robots or future warriors. I got this on the all week black friday specials for $19.99. Can't find another toy even close to this for that price.
