Incomplete Instructions
This is a fun toy. What I really like about it is that it's possible for younger kids (ages 2 and up) to play. It's also cheaper than the wooden train sets from Learning Curve.
My only issue with this toy is that the instructions are incomplete. There are several structures shown on the box that are not covered in the instruction book. Not a big deal, but you...
Cute, but frustrates my two year-old
The pieces are easy to put together, either by following the instructions or simply looking at the picture on the box. My son was very excited when he first started playing with this toy. Not much educational value, but it is stimulating and allows him to create lots of imaginary scenarios. However, the Thomas engine does not couple well to the train cars. They disconnect...

Purchased this "starter set" for my 3-year old nephew because it was the only Thomas Duplo set that included the train tracks. "Start" with this set because the other (less expensive) Thomas Duplo sets only contain a train car with a few accessories. The Duplo are large & durable; perfect for small hands. It also contains a good number of pieces (windmill, signal tower, train station, Thomas, freight cars, and train tracks) for the high price. Recommended for Thomas the train fans & beginning Lego builders.

The pieces are easy to put together, either by following the instructions or simply looking at the picture on the box. My son was very excited when he first started playing with this toy. Not much educational value, but it is stimulating and allows him to create lots of imaginary scenarios. However, the Thomas engine does not couple well to the train cars. They disconnect easily as my son is trying to guide the engine along the track. He gets extremely frustrated by this. I know he's only 2 and the product is for 3 year-olds and up, but I have to admit that I find it frustrating too.

I bought this for my 2 year old son's birthday - but my 4 year old also loves it, their grandpa, and me! It's fun to get down on the floor with him, build different things, then be able to do imaginative play with what we built. It was very satisfying. A great set!

This LEGO set was a tremendous hit with our grandson who lives the other side of the country (unfortunately). He had such a huge smile on his face when the delivery came. He had to open it up immediately even though his 3rd birthday was a week away. The cost of this toy was very reasonable, and the pictures of the expression on his face were PRICELESS.

I purchased this for my train-loving 3-year old grandson. He needed a bit of help with the original set-up, and then kept adding to it from his other legos. He loved it.

We bought this set for our two years old son who cannot get enough Thomas (I have the shows memorized.). He plays with the Thomas engine alot but rarely plays with the track or the other pieces that come in this set. Of course hes only two so he doesnt get the concept of building yet, although he tries. I like the sturdiness of the set, Im sure he will be playing with it for years to come!

I ordered this right before Christmas, but got it very quickly! My son loves Thomas and even though this was very simple for him to put together, he loves to play with it! It is durable and will easily last for a long time.

I bought this for my nephew and had it shipped directly to him out of state. His mom told me that he loves playing with it and was so excited to get this for Christmas! He just turned 3 a few months ago, and had no other Duplo items, so it was a great way to get him started -- he has been obsessed with Thomas since he first understood what Thomas was!

Great Toy,versatile and durable, allows the child to be creative and use his or her own brain instead of the typical leading clap trap! Well worth the purchase and something that will grow with the child for years!
