My grandpa gave me this set and I love it! Instructions are easy to follow, it comes with tricks to help you measure what piece you need to use. You can build what's suggested or just use your imagination. For some parts, you might need a grown up help.

My 9 year old son loves to build things. When we got this set home, he was a little bit overwhelmed but he is not usually phased by the complexity of his toys. We have not had any erector sets before and this is looking to be a great challenge. It will not only challenge his fine motor skills but it will also test how well he keeps his cool.
I realised very quickly that this set will require parental guidance and will serve to teach many lessons of perserverance, skill and achievement. This is not just a toy but a learning labratory of fun for both parent and child.

The best, simply the best! My grandson turned 9years old this week, and has a very inquisitive mind. He is creative and loves to express his imagination any way he can from water colors to books, from Leogos to remote control models. This erector set was not a hit, it was a mojor hit.

What a great product. My son turned 10 and loves Legos but he builds those so fast and then its over. With this set there are 25 different things he can build and it keeps the fun going longer.
He does need to come and ask us for help with some stuff where Legos he doesn't but we love that it's more of a challange.
