These are just like the ones I had when I was a kid! As much fun for me now as they were then. I really enjoy playing along with my kids when they bring out this toy. One child can build lots of things with this set, but a larger set would be better if you have two children trying to build at the same time.

My son got this for his fourth birthday, and he LOVES it. He builds very simple shapes, but there are enough pieces that we can build together and make fancy structures. (Actually, I thought at first that we'd want more Tinkertoys than come in this set, but now that we've got them spread all over the house, I'm grateful there aren't more.) We've had a slight problem with pieces breaking, but I've just glued them back together. It's really refreshing to have a toy that requires thought and imagination--so many toys these days seem to do all the work for the child (sound effects, dialog, motion, etc.). Tinkertoys are a classic for a reason!

I bought my 4 1/2 year old this set for Christmas. I noticed that time after time he was getting very frustrated trying to build from the diagrams that came with the tinker toys (Junior set). He always came up a few parts short to build the Space Alien and just about all the rest of the examples. At first I thought he had managed to lose a part or two during the Christmas unwrapping, playing on Christmas day. I then took the canister and took an inventory of the parts shown on it and to my amazement all the parts were there. I then started counting the parts necessary to build each of the items on the example sheet and it became apparent that no one could build these examples (or at least most of them) as the examples were showing more parts than was provided by the Junior set. It has been a totally bad experience with this toy and I don't even try to get him to play with it anymore.
Oddz On and Hasbro should be ashamed of themselves for tricking these children into thinking they can build the examples. It is these two companies that are not playing with a full deck!

Would've been great..
These would've been great if they actually fit in the pegs and holes. It's apparent the pieces were made cheaply and do not fit together well. Read more

Classic. I had them as a kid and its great to see my son enjoying the same toy. The durability could be a little better. I don't remember my connectors splitting as easily. Read more
