5.0 out of 5 stars Highly Creative and Playable! An instant family favorite!, December 11, 2006

This review is from: Superstructs Super Set (Toy)

I'm just ordering our third set of these for my daughter (8), my sons (ages 6,4,2) and my husband(an engineer). They play with them nearly constantly and the range of creations possible is nearly infinite. We are a family that enjoys construction/building toys and have dozens of different sets.. I'd say Superstructs has reigned as #1 since we got them last year.

They are less breakable than Tinker Toys (no splinters!), and hold up really well to everything but being chewed by our boxer dog, so a very sturdy and well made toy.

Great for getting children to think outside the box and a very fine multi use toy. We've seen airplanes, cars, trucks, buildings, dolls, robots, aliens, strollers, pretend hats.. you name it. The mark of a truly great toy is that it can be played with in many ways. Superstructs is such a toy.
Buy it, play with it, and enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars If in doubt, buy the biggest set, April 14, 2007

By 

LAP (MO) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Superstructs Super Set (Toy)

Our 3 year old has had Wedgits and Magneatos and loves those. We debated about which Superstructs set to purchase and went with the largest one which was a wise move. Superstructs were a huge hit. They are holding up well despite rough, daily use. The only improvement I would like to see is in the consruction of the container. After three months it is starting to fall apart. I would have gladly spent a bit more to get a better storage container. Other than that, they are a great toy that fosters hours of imaginative play for the entire family. We will be adding to the set soon.

= Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars  = Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars  = Educational:4.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Superstructs Super Set (Toy)

Some folks have had problems with durability, I have seen none. My wife does day care, and these sets have been tested by quite a few kids. No breaking of struts when taking apart as some have reported. And this is through a variety of kids.

This is a great toy. We are ordering our third set now as two sets is not enough for these kids!
