Editorial Review

Put together a mere 1,700 pieces in the right order, stick on apage or three of decals, and you're the proud owner of a 3-foot modeldepicting the aircraft carrier U.S.S. Kittyhawk. The detailed, wordlessinstructions run to 56 pages. Eight one-piece F-14 jets are included toadorn the flight deck. Finished? Not quite. Without telling you how tomake them, the instructions also tantalizingly illustrate both an oiltanker and a cruiser that you can make from the same parts. --RichardFarr ... Read more

Huge, Accurate and High Quality
I bought this set for myself (I'm 30), as I've always loved block building sets, and also built many aircraft carrier models when I was younger. This set is pretty accurate with respect to the actual design of the Kittyhawk and carriers in general (although the decal instructions have the main "63" on the top deck turned 180 degrees the wrong way).

Structure is acceptably durable and the set is easy to build. You can pick the whole thing up and move it around without being too gentle with it. Pieces come in different bags by type so they're easy to find, and the instructions are extremely clear.

Pieces fit precisely and I didn't have any problems with fit or alignment. Color consistency is great. Kit was complete, and had some surplus bits, too. There are a couple of extra name decals in case you mess up the first ones. A few of the small pieces come on little plastic "trees" like plastic model kits, so you might want to help your child by using an Xacto knife to trim them.

It comes with 8 F-14 jet fighter planes that are also accurately designed. The elevator platforms on the ship even work and there is some internal space for storage!

And this kit is HUGE when it's finished; about 3 feet long. Really impressive ... a deal. Picture here doesn't do it justice. A LEGO set of the same size and volume would cost $125.00 easily, plus you'll have a bazillion light gray bricks when you're done. You won't be disappointed!

The USS Kittyhawk
(...)
Very good model of one of the Naval Fleet's largest Aircraft carriers. The USS Kittyhawk is memorable and filled with fun. The time it takes is at least 6 hours to build. It's not hard to make just hard trying to find the pieces for that step. You could also add it to a Abrams tank, Tactival Fighter, and a Destroyer to make your own army. Get a bucket of legos and build an enemy base to defeat. It provides days of fun for you and a few friends. Thank you for reading.

the best ship in the world
i got this model 4 x mas & i also got the sea wolf. i built it in about 3 weeks & i built the kittyhawk in less than 24 hours. i had 2 build the first 1/2 2 times because if fell. so if u dont like 2 spend alot of time on models buy this model.

If MegaBloks were a lady I'd marry them!!!
This is going to be a review of 4 different MegaBloks sets (The Kittyhawk, Seawolf, Destroyer and Battleship). A friend intorduced me to MB's one day when we were talking about me building an Aircraft carrier out of that 'other' block building comany.

I called the company, asked a few questions only to find to my horror that the Battleship was out of print, the Kittyhawk and Seaworlf were hard to find and the Destroyer was thankfuly still easy to get. What happend over the next month was maddnes.

I bought 1 Battleship (from eBay), 1 Seawolf, 3 Kittyhawks, and 5 Destroyers.

I put the Kittyhawk together in about 8 hours over three days. It was fun and got the ideas flowing in my head. After I bought the other sets I made my own USS SARATOGA (CV-3) using the MB instructions and altering them as I went. After that I built various Navy ships using the sets I had. While still keeping the Kittyhawk and Saratoga together.

The educational value is that any kid that puts these together, I would hope want to leanr more about the ship they are building. The Kitthawk looks more like the Enterprise to these eyes but it's all good. For those that are wondering the USS Kitty Hawk (CVA-63) is the the Navy's oldest active warship, built in 1956 and launched in 1960.

If you are still reading this, I must say while I was brought up a Lego kid, I prefer MB's due to the mass quantity of bloks in their sets. As I write this I have ordered one more Kittyhawk, Seawolf and probably going to get a few more Destroyers.

I just finished the USS CONNECTICUT (BB-18), but had to take apart the others to do this, however it was worth it.

As and end note, I'm 31 and still building.

Nicest Looking Ship
i got this because i earned it and it's a blast. the main reason is because i have a kittyhawk and i would need something to protect it. it is very nice and from a top veiw it looks exellent and it's lighter/easier to carry.

One Cool Ship
This destroyer is one of my favorite models that I have ever built. It is really cool when it is finished and it was fun to build. I highly reccomend it to anyone of any age to try it. It was worth it!

destroyer building, xmas family project
Our 7 year old son just loved it. took several 2-3 hour sessions to complete, even with parental help. detailed and involved. not for a kid without a lot of patience. instructions were adequate, but slightly clearer color differences in the instructions would have really helped (all grey pieces and instructions were taxing on concentration). very satisfying finished product, sturdy and realistic. he had been trying to build a battleship with lego on his own, virtually an impossible task without a kit of lots of grey/black.

Nice Ship
I got the Destroyer as a gift from my wife. I've loved Legos all my life but had not messed with them much over the last couple years. It took me about 5 days off and on to put it together. I really enjoy it and found it fun to put together. The instructions could be a little more helpful if they would show different angles in the mid to final steps but all in all a great model.

The Best Present Under The Tree
This is a great building set that gives parents a chance to teach a little history and military strategy along the way. It's not too complicated, but complicated enough to keep a kid interested for several hours. Best buy of the season! ... Read more

great replica
My seven year old son and i received this as a Chrismas gift,as we put it together we were delited to see it take the form of a Harley soft tail with great detail, the finished project was incredible.
Although it was missing a few pieces we were fortunate enough to have plenty of spare pieces from past projects,we have done two other pro builders series and each had a few peices missing that we replaced with our extras that we already had on hand.
Basically i geuss it could be said that this was an awesome project but would have been a disater without the spare bloks that we had,mega bloks should take more care on making sure all the peices are in the box,aside from that we gave it two thumbs up.

Awesome!!!
All of the probuilder series are amazing models. They are fun to build and fun just to look at. I have 13, and I highly recommend this product.

Best Harley !!!
This Harley Softtail is well worth the money. These Mega Bloks are so realistic they should be considered models,not toys. But either way they are fun to build, play with, and just admire!

Awesome Toy!!!
I got my Harley Davidson Softail... It's true, these aren't as good as lego, but well worth the price. I was astounded by the finished product, yet I was missing around 3 pieces, but I just replaced those with 3 of the many thousands of lego pieces I have. Good job, Mega Bloks! ... Read more
