Final Joust

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Building Sets- Blocks and Models
from: LEGO

This is a fairly small set, not much for building with; but don't get me wrong, this is a great set.
You get two minifigs and horses (a good crown knight and an evil skeleton) and a good handful of weapons and things. That alone is worth buying the set for! Plus there are some cool gold pieces, some flags. I was pretty pleased with this one.

LEGO A World of LEGO Mosaics

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Building Sets- Blocks and Models
from: LEGO

January 02, 2007
I bought this item first and foremost because the item description said it contained 16" by 16" base plates. It does not. (I should have figured out that they wouldn't have fit into the box it says it ships in.)

The base plates are very small. They are 16 lego dots by 16 lego dots, which is 5" square. Bummer.

It's a great toy, but yes, as other reviews have said, they should have created a base that wouldn't slide around when placed over the mosaic guide. I end up holding it THE ENTIRE TIME my children play with it. Definitely more hands-on than I would like!

I still give it high ratings because it is fun and keeps my kids engaged.

LEGO City Fire Truck

My son went through the entire Lego website to pick out which Lego he wanted to purchase with his own money. He is a 6 year old who took a Lego engineering summer camp, where he learned to build all kinds of cool Lego figures. This is the kit he decided upon and let me tell you, he plays with it everyday for hours at a time. He would rather play with Legos than watch tv, which in today's world is fantastic. He not only put together the entire kit himself, but takes it apart and makes new figures out of the pieces. Some of the pieces are rather small, so he has needed my help snapping them together, but overall he is able to read the directions and put the pieces together independently. He is constantly showing me something new he has built. What a great ... Read More:

Super Structures 50 Model Building Set

from: K'NEX

August 10, 2006
I bought this set as a birthday gift for my son, who's a graduate of 3 smaller K'NEX models. It was delightful for him - the models are big and look great, the learning curve is comfortable enough (as long as you can make your kid build the models in the presented order and not rush ahead to the rotating Space Needle...). There's also an educational value - we went online with Google Earth and flew to see an aqueduct, the pyramids, and so on.

It was great to see him develop as he progresses along the models - his shoulders are getting quite a workout as he has to make rods click into connectors sideways, which takes a nice effort - these are writing muscles as well, which is useful. The most fun was seeing him get creative - his Eiffel Tower ... Read More:

Promotional Paint Kit

from: Testor Corp.


This kit is pretty generic, I would have liked it more if was made for model planes or cars. I ended up purchasing other colors that I needed anyway, it probably would be a good idea to purchase only the colors that you need unless you assemble lots of models and could use all of the colors in the kit. The paint its self is pretty good.

My granddaughter is turning 12 this week. My daughter says get more Zoobs, you bought some a long time ago. She says they are used a lot. There is also a 7 year old in the family. I remember playing with these last summer at their house. We were squabbling over pieces because there weren't enough! So I will get more!
