My rating of Erector Set 40 Model Set

I purchased this set for my son's eighth birthday. He has always been good at construction and building sets, but initially found this set overwhelming. The blow-out diagrams used in for the instruction manual can be confusing to follow at first. But, after working through a model with my husband, he seems to be handling the set better himself, getting used to how the materials and tools work, and reading the instructions better on his own, even trying his own ideas. I would recommend the set- it will be used for a long time.
Cool Item If You've Got The Time And Commitment

This is a great toy in many respects, but the designs included are very complex, even for adults. I spent about 2.5 hours building one of them with my 8 year old. In the end she loves the car we built, but looking at the finished product, one realized that a lot of the time we spent was simply oriented toward little frills for making it look cool (tailpipes!?), rather than building to the core functional components that make it run. I would rather have spent 1/2 an hour and have something that simply runs than spend five times that time making it look slick.

While I was excited for my son in getting a ‘real’ erector set, the product delivered disappointed. The most obvious flaw was the plastic motor shipped with the product did not work. Having the motor, a key component to this product, as plastic was a huge let down. The fact that the motor doesn’t even work is ridiculous.
