An excellent product for those looking for an introduction to robots and who want that extra level of complexity. Thoroughly good fun for old and young and great value for money. The possibilities are boundless.

I would not recommend it for the very young but 11+ definately

LEGO DUPLO 5416 Duplo Brick Box

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Construction Toys
from: LEGO


This is a great introduction to Lego, which toddlers are totally enthralled by. Any of us who had this as children, take great pleasure in passing on the creativity to the next generation.

DON'T BUY IT FROM AMAZON!

It's cheaper at a certain supermarket's online store (under £10 = free P&P) - every little helps.

The rest of Amazon's Lego seems competitive from what I have observed.

But do buy it, especially if the youngster you are buying it for is not your own. Whoever's child you buy it for will instantly thank and respect you, for your insider knowledge ;-).

LEGO Star Wars 7662: Trade Federation MTT

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Construction Toys
from: LEGO


Lego continue to celebrate Star Wars' 30th Anniversary with their largest kit to date this year with the excellent Trade Federation M.T.T. (Mobile Troop Transport).
Larger and packed with more detailing than the previous 7155 kit release from 2000, this model is an excellent reproduction of its on-screen counterpart at a large 42cm in length, 20 cm high and 15 cm wide.
The MTT is packed with features. There are two large opening hatches on each side. The rear ones allow access to the vehicle bay and the forward ones allow access to the droids and weapons storage racks. The upper front has small opening panels on each side so you can see the Pilot Droid inside and the roof opens up and back to allow access.
The front end opens right ... Read More:

LEGO Star Wars 6211: Imperial Star Destroyer

August 10, 2006
My son enjoyed patiently building this model over 4 days at Christmas but found that every time he wanted to play with the model it fell apart as its base is not strong enough to support the model and the engines stick out below the base so they fall off every time it is put down. Finally after months of frustration we contacted Lego who supplied some extra bricks to try and stabilise the base (a known problem obviously) but that didn't work so we returned it. A great model for adults but simply not suitable for playing with - don't waste the money for kids.

This is a great toy. My 9 year old son has just received the set with the police headquarters. As with most Lego sets, they are easy to make up and look great when finished. I am sure this will provide hours of fun.

Lego kick off their 2008 Star Wars series with another of the armoured walkers from Revenge Of The Sith with kit 7671: AT-AP Walker (All Terrain Assault Pod).

LEGO Star Wars 7672: Rogue Shadow

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Construction Toys
from: LEGO


Lego kick off their 2008 Star Wars series with the first ever kit based on a Star Wars computer game with the excellent Rogue Shadow from The Force Unleashed.
This model is a great representation of the ship used by Darth Vader in the game. It features opening cockpit canopy to reveal the pilot area (for 1 figure) and storage compartment, rotating wing panels which simultaneously fold the engine port back for either flight position or landing and moveable landing gear which folds away neatly for flight. There are weapons pods on the tip of each wing which add to the sinister look.
The port wing has two compartments. The upper one which opens to allow a missile rack which activates with a lever from the outside. The two missiles are simply pulled ... Read More:
