So much fun
My 5 year old will spend hours tinkering with this set which is fabulous! He loves following the instructions to build something!

Thumbs up!
All was great!

Affordable and fun
Got this for my nephew and he loved it. Itâs an affordable version of a very pricy gears game, and for the price itâs well made and fun.

Dear Amazonians, Thank You!
I found this object while cleaning out a toy chest of random stuff. I had no idea what this piece went to. Amazonâs search engine was able to connect it properly to this kit even when other image classifiers and visual matching services could not. Impressive!

Sub Par
Feels it isnât living up to its potential. Cards are not well designed for young kids to follow. Feels a bit cheap. Itâs not a toy my son requests to play with.
April Somkovic –
Not many pieces
Love the idea but it takes alot of pieces to even be a 2 person play. If youâre looking for your single child, this is perfect! More than one, iâd recommend ordering 2.

They now love it
My two sons 4-5 intially did not like building with it but as I guided them and played with them until full understanding now they are fighting for it.

Grandson loves it. Very creative.

Bought for 4 year old grandson. Loves that all the models move. Can find which colour and shape is needed and make a lot of the model himself. Pieces are chunky and sturdy for little hands. He likes having the instruction cards to work it out. Only one model can be made at a time due to small number of pieces but he accepts this which surprised me. Very pleased with it.

It is difficult for not only kids and adults to remove or detach some of the tubes. Also, I think this is expensive based on the amount of items being too little with that price.

Excellent item

The first thing we made was the mechanical kicker. It requires a book to prop it up because otherwise it doesn’t work. Next, we moved on to the crane (which is probably the coolest offering). As you can see in the video, the pieces do not stay together. The crane topples over and the elastic doesn’t have the tension needed to turn the dials. It’s a simple design and we poured over the instructions multiple times to ensure we were doing it right. Turns out, it’s just a glaringly obvious design flaw.I’m giving it two stars because this isn’t an expensive toy, and despite the design flaws, it still allows kids to play around with dials and “build” things. However, I don’t think it’s worth the price.
