3.0 out of 5 stars Versatile but too dexterous, March 5, 2009

By	E. Smoker "EMS" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars Educational:4.0 out of 5 stars 

I bought this for my son's 10th birthday, product marked 8 and up, as he greatly enjoys this sort of toy. The parts are extremely well made and obvious care has been taking to ensure of the fit and finish as well as proper quantity of the parts in the box. It comes with all the tools that will be required for construction; no additional tools required. The educational value is virtually limitless. It is possible with some imagination, and maybe another set, to create structures both complex and simple. These are the positives.

The negative (singular) is unfortunately the daunting level of dexterity required to make even one of the models outlined in the instructions. Even I found it challenging having to hold this nut while turning that screw and all the while trying to keep these parts in place. This is the reason I rated it only a three. My son despite his best efforts is unable to complete some of the steps without my assistance. Granted this is not many; however, for the age rating given I would expect something simpler.

Most challenging steps can be overcome with a judicial application of planning the assembly of whatever the offending piece(s) may be. I will concede that this gives a very good excuse to spend more time with your child and that is always a good thing.

In summery this is a versatile construction set with near limitless possibilities. If your child is interested in constructing for imagination then this is bound to keep them entertained for hours. If (s)he plans to build from the instructions be prepared to provide some assistance. I firmly believe these problems could have been overcome by better step-by-step instructions, "beefier" (wider, thicker) parts, or simply raising the recommended age by a few years.

5.0 out of 5 stars The intelligent's child's toy, November 25, 2008

By	Cris Carl (Greenfield, MA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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

My grand-nephew has a great interest in becoming an architect. The set was out of the box and a plane built before you know it. He was thrilled with it. Great quality for a relatively inexpensive set. I may go on to getting him more complicated sets now.
