For the most part this was a good toy. I got this for my 5 year-old on his birthday, but most of the pieces are a little too complex for him. Also, the base plate Lego that you build Legos on is way too small (may 3" X 3") to build things one. Lastly, the pamphlet shows great ideas on what you can build with the Legos, but only SHOWS you how to make about 10 of them.

Lego stuff is always great for kids to play with. I bought this for a friend's son and he just loves it. He's 5, and he really seems to enjoy building the things that are pictured on the box. He also likes trying to put together his own creations, and that's what I love the most about lego. A kid can learn how to follow instructions and how to be creative all with the same toy.

I bought this toy for my six year old son. He really enjoyed putting it together and following the directions and step by step procedures. He plays with it like he plays with all of his legos, they stay together for about a week before they morph into something else, usually a combination of several different sets. That being said, it didn't stay together very well. The top repeatedly fell off within minutes of him finishing it. While he has enjoyed it, since he took it apart and used the pieces to make a "robot jet boat," he was unable to play with it when he originally put it together without it falling ajpart. This is something he has been aboe to do with most of his other lego sets.

I am buying an NXT for my 11 year old son who has been begging for one for awhile. He is a member of the Robotics team at his elementary school (his 3rd year) and so he interacts with these every day, but wants one of his own to play around with at home.
For those of you whose children are or may be interested in science/engineering/robotics, etc. or are just looking for something creative to do, there is a worldwide program out there that they can join to help develop these skills and have fun at the same time! Lego created this program about 15 years ago and it is now worldwide. Go to [...] to learn all about it. The FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Program is absolutely wonderful. They ... Read More:

Disclosure: I'm a 49-year-old case of arrested development who used to build models of baseball stadiums with Legos when I was a kid, and I wanted to do it again. I bought this piece thinking it was the same green building plate I used to use when I was young. IT IS NOT. For anyone who thinks about buying this believing the pegs are standard Lego size, they are far too large and, as such, useless.
This might be a great piece for use with large Lego pieces, but for my purposes, I just blew $10. Buyer beware.

I saw this thing before I saw the old version of this set, and there's really no comparison. It is a really sweet kit. The launcher would beat a sniper in a compitition of distance. (Not really; this thing can't shoot 2 1/2 miles with pinpoint accuracy. Actually, this thing can't shoot 2.5 miles at all. Drat.) Both the N-1 and the Vulture Droid look awesome, but the Vulture Droid's "flick fire missles" don't work at all. Who cares, though? It's a sweet set either way you cut it.

My son (9 years) got really into this set and wouldn't stop until it was finished. Pretty impressive, too. This set didn't have the shortcoming some Lego sets suffer from; falling apart as kids try and build them.
This one was challenging, engaging, and very cool looking when completed.
My son wants to add that it had lots of unique parts, too.
