4.0 out of 5 stars civil war soldier set
Ordered for my son,he has had a great time in spite of the poor quality of the cannons which were broken when we recieved the set or soon after he played with them . The actual soldiers are of good quality but for a young boy it"s all about the cannons, which were fixed with alittle super glue.

2.0 out of 5 stars A Mixed Bag
I and my son were very disappointed with this Civil War set. As the title says, it's a mixed-bag. The overall quality of the molds for the soldiers is ok. However, the quality of the accessories (buildings, cannons) is not.

First, almost all the cannons and the caissons were broken - all the wheels are snapped off. Second, the "buildings' which come with...

Ordered for my son,he has had a great time in spite of the poor quality of the cannons which were broken when we recieved the set or soon after he played with them . The actual soldiers are of good quality but for a young boy it"s all about the cannons, which were fixed with alittle super glue. The cardboard pieces are worth less and thrown away before long, for the price I would recommend the set, but would also have some glue handy when the set comes in because you will need it to fix the cannons.

I purchased this for my son's project on Pickett's Charge. The characters are really accuarate in weapons and positions. We painted the wall to resemble the stone wall and it was faily easy to display this part of the Battle of Gettysburt. It worked our great.

I and my son were very disappointed with this Civil War set. As the title says, it's a mixed-bag. The overall quality of the molds for the soldiers is ok. However, the quality of the accessories (buildings, cannons) is not.

First, almost all the cannons and the caissons were broken - all the wheels are snapped off. Second, the "buildings' which come with the set are not from the Civil War time period. They are all from WWII and one of them is 1:72 scale instead of 1:32 (the men tower over the building).

They will get played with. Fortunately, you need some broken cannons to make a really good battle scene. As for the buildings...well...he has a thousand WWII soldiers as well - both 1:72 and 1:32 scale - so he'll survive.

If you want a better set, then order the Irish Brigade.

My son enjoyed the toys BUT when he opened it on Christmas day we found that all 4 cannon wheels were broken off. Perhaps they could send me 4 more.

My Grandson is fascinated with the Civil War and loves playing with this set. It entertained him for hours. Small parts can break if handled too roughly. Great for creating one's own battles and manuevers.

Many broken pieces, especially the cannons and anything with wheels. One of the army figures was missing a head. Other than that ok. I know better quality civil war men are available.

The set arrived with a cannon axle already broken, but I expected that kind of thing from reading the reviews. My 9 year old son really wanted a toy soldier set that was Civil War themed and this set offered the greatest variety of pieces for the price. He really enjoys setting up battle scenes and plays with it endlessly. The figures themselves are of acceptable quality. The buildings are a joke. They look out of place and basically have to be taped to stay together.

I think this is a good set for the price as long as you buy it for what it is and don't expect a high quality set.

This set was bought for a school project. As a side benefit, my son likes to play with the set. I can not recommend this set because of it's durability. With in the first day, these pieces have broken: tip of a gun, wagon wheels have fallen off and a horse's leg have broken in half.
