Too easy to tip over. Just a collection of lots of light-weight blocks.

I was disappointed. I thought the blocks would fit together rather than just balance on each other. I have Kapla blocks and have built ramps with them but wanted something more stable, which this looked like from the box and the description. My 7 year old grandson was so excited but frustrated because he couldn't build the suggested ramps. I could hardly do it myself. A lot of money for a very difficult-to-build ramp system.

my husband and girls can't get enough of playing with contraptions. We will be ordering the extention set next.

I ordered two sets and gave one to each of my Grandson's for Christmas. One said it was Great! The other one said it is Awesome!

Great toy for your budding engineer. Fosters independent play, creativity, perseverance, and patience. Grandson was most enthusiastic when he received this gift.

Definitely worth getting the set with more planks. Suitable even for children younger than 7.

my son is 9 years old and he and his cousin received this for Christmas 2011 and it kept them busy for hours. They really enjoyed it a lot! Great idea. Brown, Kansas.

Our son loves this toy. Easy to use (getting use to building with the loose blocks kinda tough at times) but he loves all the things he's made. Has kept our son occupied for quite some time.

we have had hours of fun with this already. great thought goes into each 'contraption'

We knew this was not a tight fitting product, pieces are placed on each other to form towers and ball runs and other constructs. Knowing that, we were not disappointed like other comments. Our son likes open ended toys that can be used to create his own constructions. So, he likes this, and in the few days he has had it, he has created some fun things with it. It is a fun set.

Perfect for a nine-year old tinkerer.

A very creative collection of building items for a very creative 10-year-old.
