The set is everything I expected it to be. The pieces are perhaps a bit less robust than the classic sets, but the inclusion of plastic pieces allow for more creativity than the old sets. The instructions are quite well written and drawn. My son is 12 and this was perfect for him. We assembled one machine (catapult) together and then he was off and running. I seem to recall the set was recommended for ages 8 and over, and in my opinion, 8 is definitely too young to really enjoy this.

Purchased for 7yr old boy who loves to construct and wanted metal parts that can be held with bolts. He was becoming frustrated with Magnetics and Legos falling apart during play. Of course he went to the most complicated project, the crane. Once convinced to start with easier projects and work toward the more difficult, he is spending many hours with and is enjoying the erector set. Nice to have a carry/ storage case.

exactly what he was looking for--though he prefers models with motors if those could be added to future sets

My 10 year old is always making things from items around the house. My husband suggested we buy him an erector set. We couldn't be more pleased! Our son is making so many neat things that actually move with motors! This erector set is so different than the ones we grew up with. The technology is just amazing! Our son is hardly paying any attention to his video games and computer - he's having a ball with this! I think we might have a future engineer in the family.

Product seems to be very well made though as a one time owner of
the Gilbert sets of the '50's, I was a bit disappointed in soem of the
components. I would have been happier had it been made in the USA.
