LEGO City 7732: Air Mail

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Construction Toys
from: LEGO


This is quite a nice little model, new for 2008. It's been a long time since Lego bothered to produce any Post/Mail sets (I've got a load from the 80s) and this small plane is quite a nice addition to them.

There's loads of pieces, for what you actually end up with but it was easy to build and doesn't appear to fall to bits easily. There's a slight flaw in the hinged roof compartment, in that it's hinge is made in a way that allows it to remain in position if half closed. Unfortunately, it also means that when you try and open and shut it, the hinge resists and the whole bit falls off in your hand.

Overall, i'm pleased with this item.

LEGO Star Wars 7661: Jedi Starfighter with Hyperdrive Booster Ring

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Construction Toys
from: LEGO


Lego continue their 30th anniversary releases with this fantastic Jedi Starfighter with detachable hyperdrive ring.
Based on the previous releases of Anakin Skywalker's Starfighter and the two from the Ultimate Space Battle set, the blue Jedi Starfighter has the same design with a few improvements built in. The cockpit assembly is sturdier than the previous issues and the hull has special adaptors to allow it to connect to the hyperdrive ring. Because of this, other Jedi Starfighters cannot dock with the ring which is a shame.
The ring itself measures a full 28cm across and has six engines and two missiles which can be launched with a flick of the finger. The ring itself is a little fiddly to assemble, relying on small Technic parts ... Read More:

Meccano Multi Models 20 Model Set

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Construction Toys
from: Meccano


I bought this for my brother for Christmas, mostly because his partner has a 9 year old daughter and I thought they he could play with the kids. The sight of him on boxing day with a furrowed brow, pouring over the instructions, but not letting them beat him will remain with me forever and puts a smile on my face whenever I think about this toy. Even worse for my brother is the fact that he works in the car industry.

I chose this particular set because it has a lot of different models and comes with a motor, so it has pretty much all you need to make something worth making whilst learning a few engineering fundamentals at the same time. The manuals could be a little clearer, but this adds to the fun in my opinion and it should be ... Read More:

BRIO 33754 Wooden Railway System: Magnetic Bell Signal

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Construction Toys
from: Brio


We were very disapointed with this item - the bell ring is VERY quiet and the magnetic ringer only works with brio trucks that have large metal hubs on the wheels. If, like us, you have a hybrid set of Tesco/Thomas/Brio etc. you may find some problems with getting the bell to ring at all.

It's a good idea but just doesn't work well in practice.
we recommend a level crossing or collapsing bridge instead.
