The best purchase I've made so far!
As an early childhood educator, I must say this product has the most for the money. There are at least 4 different educational uses. My son began using it around 13 months and continued until about 20 months. He loved discovering that the wooden dowels fit into the holes of the blocks and the table -early lacing skills! As he got older, he enjoyed the activities of stacking the blocks and the shape sorter. These strengthened fine motor development and eye-hand coordination. Cognitive skills can be worked on by counting, and matching the colors and shapes. It was also great that he found other toys, like plastic rings that fit on the dowels too. More than one child or adult can play so this encourages social skills. Clean up time was simple when the center is used for storage. The only thing that disappointed me was that the cover for the center starage area did not fit. As for the 4 star rating on fun - I'm not big on electronic toys but if you have them, you will understand that this may not be the first toy your child runs to. It also does However, if you kneel on the floor next to him to encourage and provide positive feeback, he'll learn much more than what an electronic toy can teach. Thank you Small World Toys! ...

The Zometool System is a lot more challenging than the average building set. Using a simple system of spherical connector nodes and struts to model the interaction between the numbers 2, 3, and 5 in space, Zometool manages to illustrate complex concepts such as fractal symmetry, perspective, and truss systems in a fun and completely nonintimidating way. With the 242-piece Adventurer Kit, young builders join the precision-molded ABS plastic parts to create models of everything from simple bridges to intricate fractal starbursts. Models can be dipped into a bubble solution (recipe included) to create amazing bubble shapes. The Adventurer Kit includes a 24-page manual that is as inspirational as it is instructional. Zome System won a Guide Children's Media Award. --Lisa Whipple ... Read more

EXTREMELY RARE
My son Mat (AGE 10) says: "It's a really cool toy. It has flapping wings, a light up crystal, and red eyes. I like the way that the two heads are different, one has a horn and the other doesn't. Good luck trying to find one, we got the last one in the store."

Beware the undead
This is sort of like an "expansion pack" for the Dragons series. It features a unique, undead, two-headed hydra dragon and ten undead ghost warriors. As always, the warriors get weapons and shields for battle. A nice addition to any Dragons collection. The ghost warriors are nice, as is the dragon. I added mine to the Dragons Tower set (#9896). Suddenly, the Draigars are in trouble, facing a nigh unbeatable foe. The undead, and a fierce undead dragon.

ULTIMATE DRAGON
The ghost dragon is the best toy I have ever seen I bet its so powerful it could DESTROY the UNIVERSE! Im gonna get it!!!!!!!!!

Dragon Wars Ghost Dragons
Dragon wars has a ghost. According to Tris, whos 8 this is an invincible dragon (he's a ghost) who can help the earth bound dragons on their quests and in their battles and is the ULTIMATE DRAGON!!! ... Read more

On the surface, there seems to be one inescapable problem with a LEGO NBA set. Doesn’t basketball require, at some point, a sphere? And doesn’t the entire universe of LEGO sort of lack that shape? No matter. With this set’s court and four players, they mercifully threw in an actual ball. Following the highly detailed graphic manual, you can construct a very urban-looking street court complete with two backboards. Despite the NBA name, this set features no likenesses of actual NBA players (though such can be purchased separately). But the players included are more interesting anyway since they are so unlike the traditional happy LEGO peg man. They snarl and have facial hair and goggles--you can almost hear them talking trash. And when you flick their spring-mounted bodies in the direction of the basket, the players actually shoot the ball themselves. Making your shots is challenging but not impossible, and becomes more difficult the farther you are from the basket, just like in the real NBA.--Charlie Williams ... Read more

Easy to assemble, fun to play with
These little NBA players FLEX their arms and legs, making this a unique set that my 6 and 9 year old sons love. The players are based on actual NBA players; even I get a kick out of seeing them "LEGOized"!
In short, the kids can actually play a game with this set. We plan to expand the collection. Four stars for educational/durable because it depends on how you look at it!
We are looking forward to the just-announced release of LEGO hockey ;) ... Read more

looked fun, ended up being a disaster!!!
I ordered it because it looked really fun, and looked like a great display item! It was a disaster!! for one thing it took me 22 hours NON STOP to finish it, and after it was all finished(i followed the the directions to the letter) it looked like a 300 year old barn!!!!!! Everything was sagging, the pieces wouldn't fit,(all of the pieces mostly looked alike, so if you screwed up once the whole puzzle is ruined)!! It was stressing, and NOT fun!! DON'T BUY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

missing pieces
I got this for christmas, because im an avid lotr fan. I love rohan and gondor, so i thought the puzzle would be cool. Its now march and im not done with it because i have at least twelve missing pieces. If it had all the pieces when i got it maybe i could finish it............but this is just to warn you, high risk of missing pieces.

Great puzzle
This was my first 3D puzzle and it was great. As a fan of LoTR I was especially motivated. It was equally challanging and motivating. It was a great experience. It took me some evenings to put it together.

And now I put all my LoRT figurines next to it.

Great puzzle and inspiration.

A great toy for clever fingers!
I got my brother this for his birthday sometime back, just as it was hot off the press. He's more inclined towards things of that sort...he's done tons of Puzz3D's. Anyway, it's a great toy for your enjoyment, and it will provide hours of fun to put together, and makes a great display piece afterward. Or, of course, you can disassemble it and save it for a rainy day!

I wish I never finish it
3d puzzles by Wrebbit are always a lot of fun, I wish they make more, and make them more affordable. ... Read more

Great creative toy
My daughter got this for Christmas (at 21 months) and has played with it every day since. The blocks are bright colored and different sizes so are fun to look at and build with. They are also easy to handle so a toddler can build on their own. They clean up into their own bag, with a zipper that a toddler can open and close. My daughter uses them to build towers which she knocks over and to make rectangle shapes which she calls trucks and then pushes around. She also loves helping us build fancier things like planes and elephants. The biggest thing you can build with 100 blocks is a tower 36 inches tall, or a small "chair" just big enough for a toddler's bum. This has been enough for the first two months but she uses them so much we are thinking of getting another set so we can build big castles. Only negatives to this set: there are two little people that come with it, and a little "car" with two seats, but the two people can't fit on adjacent pegs so can't go into the car together or be beside each other in a castle.

Lots of fun and a good price
These are great blocks that are the same size as Duplos and fit together with them. If your kids want to build huge castles and towers, you can get a lot more Mega Bloks for less money than Duplos. Plus, Mega Bloks towers have a little sway to them so instead of snapping apart at the weakest point, they just bend a little--making little builders happier since their work is easier to rescue before it crumbles!

A hit on the first day!
We received this yesterday and my 11 month old daughter loved emptying these out. and I joined the blocks together and she took them apart. She also puts everything in her mouth and these are big enough to be safe. I can see her learning colors in the future by sorting these bright colored blocks and also using her imagination to build stuff when she is old enough. Surely a big hit on the first day. We'll have to see how long they hold her interest. ... Read more

Great as first blocks set for your toddler
My daughter is 18 months old and she loves to play with blocks. She developed interest in bigger blocks that came with the activity table. She liked to create a tower with it. To elaborate more of her hand-eye co-ordination skills, I bought this 90 piece bucket for her. It is a perfect first blocks set for a toddler. The blocks are not too big like Mega blocks and not much small like Duplo blocks. This size is perfect for their tiny hands to work with. Plus I find the bucket has nice quantity of blocks, not too many to get tired of the mess and not too little so that the young ones get to explore enough.

Freedom to choose
These blocks were the LARGE DUPLO size blocks, which was not well-explained in the item description. Of course, I noted the age range but stupidly assumed that these were the same size as the regular lego blocks.

Anyway, my 4 year old got them for Christmas and she liked playing with them on Christmas day. However, my parents gave her a real Lego set the next day and she plays with it much more!

All in all: Great for the money. Lots of imaginative play. Very sturdy and easy to put together and take apart. Be aware these are large blocks great for smaller hands!

Endless play
Im a mother of 2 girls,1 and 3. My oldest girl recieved lego duplo blocks as a gift when she was 18 months and her, her sister and her 4 year old friend play with them EVERY day!
They love them so much that i bought 3 more buckets and a lego table! Of all the toys in the house (and there are lots of them) the lego's get used the most

Great 90 Piece Set
This is a large bucket has 90 pieces in it. There are lots of the standard shapes, including 57 squares, 13 rectangles, and 2 thin rectangles. There are also some fun and unusual shaped blocks including 4 squares with eyes on them, 2 squares with slanted edges, 6 rectangles with rounded edges, 1 half round, 2 rectangles with a quarter round cut-out, 1 rectangle with two quarter round cut-outs, 1 windmill blade, and a rounded top piece that the windmill blade attaches to. ...

Editorial Review

A wonderful learning toy for toddlers, this LEGO set contains 75 oversized building blocks of various sizes and colors. The blocks fit on top of each other simply and snugly, and pull apart with ease. The set comes contained in a sturdy plastic storage tub. The lid isn't terribly secure; preschoolers will probably be able to open it easily. --Andy Boynton ... Read more
