5.0 out of 5 stars These are PLASTIC!, December 24, 2008

As of the date I write this and the date I purchased it, there is no mention in the title or description that these are plastic. I figured since "Classic" was in the title that they would be wood.

I'm not taking any stars off the rating, as some might prefer the plastic, and my complaint is with the dolt who uploaded this product's information & not the product itself. But if you are looking for wooden tinker toys you need to buy another set.

We're sending these back and not exactly pleased with having our time wasted and a Christmas present delayed.

I knew from the reviews that these were plastic. DH and I both have fond memories of playing with our set of wooden Tinker Toys when we were kids, so we were disappointed when we received this set and found that the pieces are jumbo-sized compared to what we had as children. The pieces in this plastic set of Tinker Toys are 2-3 times bigger than the original Tinker Toys. The storage bin is equally larger than the original, and creations make a much larger footprint, too. My four-year-old does have a bit of difficulty putting the pieces together and taking them apart again. We end up building things for her, and then, she doesn't like it, because the creations can't stand up to play. They come apart when played with, so they're best for just displaying what you've built. She hasn't really taken to it, and we're very disappointed in how large the pieces are. It's not getting played with. We would've returned it if it hadn't been a mail-order purchase. The plastic does seem durable, but don't get this set, unless you don't mind your Tinker Toys being XXL.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very frustrating!, September 9, 2010

The package is very misleading. You see the word "classic" , and small letters whispering "plastic parts".
The photoes of the actual product is too small for us to tell they are plastic.
It is not wooden. Parts are all plastic.

What's more, the plastic parts are so unstable that whatever we make can not stand up. Now this is so very frustrating to both parents and kids. My kids thought their creations keep on falling down because they are doing something wrong.
I wonder if Hasbro or whoever ever tested these parts by playing with them before putting on the market. If they did even for 5 minutes, they would have known it is just impossible to make a microphone stand like they suggested on the instruction. Very poor quality. Made my kids think they are not good enough to build anything. We did not like it at all.
