Looking at the box I thought this would be an easy to build blocks toy but, we were in for a nasty surprise. It took us 8 hours, more or less, to build this thing. We started with the truck which was fine, fun and relatively easy. Then we moved on to the tower that holds the billboard, no big deal. We then proceeded to build the Bank... what a nightmare! The floor part did not stick together, the windows would fall on and on after building them into the floor blocks. The worse part was the roof of the bank. My child ended up loosing his patience and went on to play with something else. I decided to get it done no matter what and spent countless hours putting things together only for them to fall apart (usually when I thought I was almost done). I realized that it was easier to do the roof separate from the walls and windows of the bank (as opposed to what the instructions tell you to do which is to put the roof on top of the walls you already built). Even following a different approach, it was very difficult to complete the task, the front part of the roof was supposed to hold a bunch of columns that formed the walls around the front door and upper window. Getting that big piece of ceiling to hold all the columns was almost impossible. I finally built the bank but now I don't want my child to touch it. If it falls apart, I am not redoing it! I don't know who puts this toys togethers and who tests them but the designer of this one is lost. Do not buy this one!

My son loves this set, an added benefit is he likes Spider-man.
My only problem with this set is that the arms and legs of the figures come off very easily.(3 stars for the durability in that area)
A nice set for young Lego builders(not too young), thought it does take a while to assemble lots of pieces(285).
Nice little set.

This mega Spiderman set was a piece of junk. Everytime my son and I tried to put it together, the blocks would fall apart. We decided to just cast it to the side and forget about it. I guess I got what I paid for huh. I will never buy MEGA blocks again....I will stick with the LEGOS for now on.

My 5 year old son got this item for Christmas. After we spent 2 hours assembling the thing it kept falling apart, and when you would try to fix it another section would fall off. Unfortunately, our son only played with this one time. The blocks did not fit well together and I would not recommend spending your hard earned money on this.

My son has enjoyed this toy and plays with almost every day. The Mega Blocks instructions are getting much better and we had no difficulty putting it together. I would recommend this toy.

I purchased this playset for my 6 year old. We spent about 2 hours putting it together one afternoon which was kind of fun and the instructions were easy to follow. It's much sturdier than the Legos Spongebob sets he got last year. The Lego sets fell apart after a couple of times playing with them. This one is still together & hopefully will be for a while. My son enjoys playing with it and likes that it comes with a little Spiderman, Sandman and a police man.

My 6 year old nephew was excited to receive this for Christmas. He had never seen this toy and collects lots of spiderman things. I received it just 3 days after I ordered it online - hard to beat the price, especially w/free shipping!
