This set of blocks is Terrific! I've never seen such a great product. It's incredibly detailed and highly educational. Comes with a book that contains a great deal of information about architecture and has a building guide. I'm buying other sets / themes for my kids

This review is from: Shure - Egypt 68 Pieces (Toy)

My daughter is 12 and completely crazy in love with Edward from Twilight, after enduring this crazy "love" for a few months I thought she'd never gain interest in anything else. I was wrong!!! My husband brought this blocks home because he found them interesting.

They are the fascination of the whole house and my daughter is actually enjoying them a lot, in her words "is an smart and cool toy".

The book that comes with the set is fantastic and has a lot of useful information; we also tried the website and its very interesting to build online. We want to get more sets; it's a toy that adults and kids can enjoy regardless of the age. It's a must for any Christmas list; we are adding two more sets to our collection Shure - Rome 68 PiecesShure - Deluxe World Fusion 218 Pieces. Thanks ArchiQuest!

My son got this block set as a present and I feel like I have a new toy too. These blocks are really cool and educational. The set includes a book with lots of facts and building ideas. We went online and the games on the website are great too, we even got more building ideas. I'm amaze how a wooden set of blocks has been turned into something this cool and it's for all ages.
