Great toy, easy to put together.
I love Lego sets because you can actually "play" with them when they are done. I bought this set along with the big Air comp and my son and I raced for a while with it.

Snowboard Boarder Cross Chase is fantastic!
I bought the Snowboard Boarder Cross Chase for my 10-year old on his birthday last week and he just loves it! He plays with it every day -- he had great fun building it and has had an amazing time playing with it. He has quite a lego collection and this has to be one of his all-time favorites. An excellent lego and highly recommended!! ... Read more

Editorial Review

The Vorgans, those dastardly invaders who continue to wreak havoc upon their unfortunate neighbors are at it again. This time theyve raided a Norvagen shipyard and captured an impressive Man-O-War ship. Or at least most of one. The ship wasnt actually done yet but in a somewhat unusual bit of subcontracting, theyve enlisted an evil Ice Dragon to round out their arsenal and attack both the Norvagens and the poor people of Draigar. This kit features 190 pieces with which you can build the nefarious dragon GulKhan who, when completed, features jaws that open and close using a trigger on his back and a chest that lights up. The half-completed ship is also featured with a spring-loaded cannon, a magnetic rotating mast, and a few little warrior guys. The story line gets a little thick but we still like the intricate set up that Mega Bloks offers here and young kids with vivid imaginations will appreciate not only the big scary dragon but the infinite adaptability of this set which affords plenty of creative building opportunities. How would this crew fair against a set of LEGO Bionicle fighters? Thats up to your imagination. --Charlie Williams ... Read more

Great starter Lego for wanna be olderyoung boys
This lego set hit the spot with my 2 1/2 year old who was always playing with my 5 year olds Knights Kingdom set but was frustrated because he couldn't really participate in the building.This set has child like blocks but is a full fledged big boy toy with the whole castle/dragon/knights theme.You really can't go wrong.We are looking forward to the other pieces to be released in 2005 also!

Are you brave enough to face the dragon?
This is part of a fantastic new series by Lego.Together with Knights' Castle (4777)and Knight and Squire (4775) you'll will have four knights for each side and elements enough to build two very good smaller castles or one big one.The quality of the elements and especially the dragon is superb - as usual for Lego.

These are the only toys still on the floor to play with of my 4 year old son's Christmas presents.His 2 year old brother is also part of the game, but most of the time as the evil Destroyer.His 6 year old sister would have liked to see a princess in the set.Afterall knights do kill dragons and do rescue princesses.

Cannot wait to get hold of the next set in the series released in 03-2005.

"Dad, of course the dragon can't close its mouth when it blows fire - it would be too hot and it would get burned"

Great Toy - 6 hours construction time
My daughther is 4 years old and loves to play with the castle.
I have not much to add to what previous reviewers said -I mostly concurr. However I wanted to share my experience with putting the castle together: It took 3 adults 2 hours to put it together. The instructions are done well - it is just a lot of work (a lot of small parts: connectors and decorations). Plan ahead if you're buying it. It is a great toy!.

beautiful!
I grew up with the Playmobil Victorian dollhouse, and only recently did I start collecting other Playmobil sets. I bought this Fairy Tale Castle about a month ago and had the greatest time putting it together. The assembly directions include another building variation that seems to be a little more spacious, if you're planning to fit all the furniture sets in. Unlike the victorian dollhouse, this one is totally sturdy. I've moved it several times with no problem. And the accesory sets are incredible.

I recommend getting this item from Amazon.com while they have free shipping in the States. I have had problems finding toys by this company in every toy store I've been to, and having it shipped directly from Europe is extremely pricey!!

Well worth the money
Playmobils are the best toys, they are sturdy, creative, and keep my girls busy for hours. The Fairy Tale Castle is beautiful, pinks and purple, graceful arches, and stunning cutwork windows. It looks like a castle from the Arabian Knights. The people have delicate decorations on their clothes. The furniture is very realistic and fancy, fit for a castle. We have all the room sets, and a few extras from the other castle, a fairy tale castle needs a Dragon and a Unicorn!

Princess' Dream
The playmobil quality has always been high and the castle is no exception. It takes a good 2 hours to put together (and you must be careful to not invert the directions and build the "building variant" which uses about 95% of the pieces but just isnt as much fun as the normal variant). It only comes with a few people so if you want to do any big "scenes" you will need to buy a few add-ons. Still, my daughter thinks its just about the coolest toy around and has her pirate ship sail up and interact with the fairy castle inhabitants in a variety of ways. Yes we do have too many Playmobil sets at home for any sane parent...but then again if you are seriously considering this item, you probably do too! ... Read more

Fun!!! Fun!!! Fun!!!
This toy is a lot of fun but it brakes easily. I wold suggest that if you are younger you should get someone older to help. But, other than that it is a lot of fun!

Great Gift for 9-11 year old who is tired with Knex and Lego
This is a wonderful construction toy for a child who is tired of Knex and Lego. Designing the track so that the marble stays on is a good lesson in momentum and angles. Probably too difficult for any child under 9. ... Read more

Good set but...
This is a nice set from Mega Bloks. It will take hours to put together since this is a large model. However, be aware that the sides and top of the trailer are not plastic. It is made of a thin piece of cardboard.

Most realistic Probuilder
Ok. I have this Probuilder. It is an amazing Probuilder. It is the most durable and the most fun Probuilder. Unlike some Probuilders, you can play with this Probuilder a lot without breaking. And it's as close as you can get to the action of racing.

P.S. If you want "head to head" racing action, you should buy the other Formula 1 racer (the red one) ... Read more

Mother of three
Admittedly, I would have never bought this toy for my kids, but my 5 year old son received it as a Christmas present and I am astonished that he and his 3 year old brother, AND 8 year old sister actually play with this thing.They look at the pictures and try and make the same figure, and they all three sit and do it together.It also teaches them creativity.It is hilarious what they can come up with.I want to buy another one so each of my sons will have one.It comes in a small case to keep all the pieces together, and to my suprise they haven't lost any yet.I love this thing.My son has a birthday party to attend next week, and I think I will get this as his gift.I hope they come out with even more sets!

Awesome toy for 3-7 year old boys
After having bought other building sets, such as, Lincoln logs, Tinker toys and Legos, that didn't get a lot of play time, I thought I would try this Knex set for Christmas for my four year old.Although this wasn't the first toy he wanted to open, once he did open it and began to play with it, this is the one he cannot put down.Both he and his seven year old brother love playing with it.The seven year old has no problems building the models that are illustrated in the instruction booklet.There are no words, just pictures, perfect for this age.The four year old likes to use his imagination and build his own creations.I actually regret not buying two sets of these for Christmas. My seven year old is already asking for a set for his January birthday.Both of my boys also love video games and this set is one of the few toys they play with when video game time is over.This set has a been a hit this Christmas and I look forward to buying more Knex building sets for my boys. ...

Teacher Review

Kids will spend hours building life-size castles and fortresses withthis sturdy cardboard block set. Included are 32 blocks: six large red "brick"blocks, six medium-size yellow blocks, six small blue blocks, four drawbridges,four arches, and six turrets. This set is terrific for hours of imaginativeplay, and it can be used with other Imagiplay blocks to build large, life-sizestructures. Parents can use the castle structure to spark imaginative pretendplay (who doesn't want to be a prince or princess); they can also encouragemathematical skills by helping kids discover that one large red block is thesame size as two medium yellow blocks or four small blue blocks. Imagiplayblocks also enable children to explore and discover how they can control theirenvironment and manipulate the objects within it. Made from 50 percent recycledcardboard and printed with nontoxic inks, the blocks have a smooth,water-resistant coating so they can be wiped clean. --Lauren Bernard, motherand elementary school teacher ...

My kids love these blocks!
My 3 year-old and my 6 year-old love these blocks. They build castles and then knock them down. The blocks hold up fairly well, you just can't jump up and down on them. We've had ours for almost a year and my kids still play with them all the time. ... Read more

Great toy for babies and older!
This bag is great, it has everyting that you need to get started. It has several pop-onz animals and many different stacking "blocks" with lots of different shapes and colors. Theres even a car and a teeter todder in there. Babies can also play with the pop-onz because they are all one piece so you don't have to worry about any choking hazards. The linking pieces are easy for little fingers to work with. So they can play with little to no frustation; which is great for me!
With this set the sky is the limit with what your little builder can build. The "people" are too fun and the bold colors are great for teaching your little one colors and animals alike. ... Read more
