Review of UBERSTIX UBERARC 1600 piece Set

The product is a good challenge, although I was disappointed that the blueprints were limited to one building (the skyscraper). My 11-year-old son got halfway through it and then decided to construct the rest on his own. He found the blueprints too long and too tedious to follow. I'm sure, however, that he will put his imagination to good use with the 1600 pieces and will construct many structures on his own.

I enjoyed making this large model. It takes a little while to get the hang of it, but then it flies. It's great for a cold or lousy outdoor day.

My son wanted this toy for Christmas. He absolutely loves it, and has been keeping him busy for days. But he and my husband complain that the blueprints aren't very accurate so it's a lot of trial and error, but fun nonetheless! It is a bit expensive though.
Very cool building toy.

My son is an avid Lego builder so I was looking for something different get him this holiday season. I stumbled across Uberarc and thought it looked really cool! He loves it! It is challenging to build but not frustrating. He likes following the blueprints.
I give it 4 stars instead of five because, there were some open pouches of pieces leading some to spill so we are unsure if we have all the pieces and there are no directions in the kit to tell you how to get started. Lastly, when we went to ge this building permit online, it did not work so that was disappointing. However, this is an awesome toy and children and adults with love it!
