I am sure this product is fine, but it is for a gift and it comes in plastic shipping bags...no container, tin, or box...that should be clearly stated in the ad...I can't give this as a gift...it would be fine if it was for my own children, but not as a gift! Unfortunately I will be returning this item.

K'NEX Collector's Edition Lincoln Logs Wooden Case

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Wood
from: K'NEX

August 10, 2006
i actually got it on an amazon sale for $20 w/free shipping.
it's really the same as the regular ones but the case weighs about 15 pounds and the logs are a different color so they dont really match the regular ones. There's even a warning on it that because they are stained the color may rub off... I think that all of the logs from all sets are all wood, but the newer sets have plastic pieces for the roof while this collectors set has a wooden roof.

Kapla 200 Piece Wooden Building Set

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Wood
from: Kapla


It's late August and I first purchased a set of Kapla blocks at Christmas. I can say with certainty that this is one of the only toys to get regular play time 8 months later. I originally bought one box of 200 for my nieces & nephew and one box of 50 for myself. Once the other adult family members realized how fun and smart the blocks were, the collection grew to over 700!

The kids are constantly trying new designs and building things with more precision...and when they walk away to do something else, the adults jump in and try their own designs!

I can say with confidence that very few other toys have received as much play-time as these simple little wood blocks have.

Tinkertoy Classic Construction Set: Junior Builder

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Wood
from: Hasbro

September 06, 2006
I am surprised by the positive reviews of this toy by those who purchased it for a 3-5 year old. I bought it for my 3 year old (a very large boy & normal strength) He is unable to fit the pieces together. I have trouble with many. They fit VERY tight. He has broken several pieces by trying to shove them in or pull them apart. Other pieces fit much too loose.
What it has come down to is this...."mom can you please build me something with the Tinkertoys?"
Um....I have a better idea son, let's go buy a toy you can actually play with yourself. This is not the toy I remember from my youth.

K'NEX Conestoga Homestead Lincoln Logs Building Set

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Wood
from: K'NEX


This was the third toy I bought for my son's 6th bithday there was a problem with! In this situation, the top of the wagon didn't come! So now I have to research how to get it. Disappointing. The rest of it, like his other Lincoln Logs set, is great: real wood, very fun. It is just disappointing when the toy is not complete. I spent a lot of time searching for the real wood Lincoln Logs set so it's a bit of a letdown when it's not complete.

This set combined with other sets, provides my son with hours of creative fun. I have found that to be able to build a variety of structures, it takes a total of about 350 pieces. So this was an addition to 2 other different sets already purchased.
