Buy LEGO Architecture Fallingwater 21005


This LEGO set of the Falling Water home was for my Brother, an Architectural Engineer and long-time FLW fan. He has visited Falling Water on more than one occasion and when I saw the LEGO set I knew he would love it. As things worked out he called 8PM Saturday night and, as he would be travelling over Christmas, we agreed that he should open it immediately. He was thrilled and even though he was going to catch a 5AM flight the next morning he said he wasn't going to bed until Falling Water was built!Get more detail about LEGO Architecture Fallingwater 21005.

Order LEGO Indiana Jones Shanghai Chase


I'm having this issue with the lego sets. Although I will say they are of great enjoyment to my son and I in building, they always feel pointless in the end, especially when you look at the price tags the better sets command. I guess if you're some over compensating person who has enough room for a multitude of built lego sets to be displayed then I could see the investments, although I would feel a little sorry for you. In reality kids like to play with things, and in the case of Boys, play with things rather roughly. Yes my son spouts happiness's upon gazing at a new lego set but inevitably the set gets broken down to its most basic form and becomes another box of blocks added to the tub that full of more colors than a San Francisco parade. All I got to say is when your elbow deep in tub full of legos looking for a single square black you'll be wondering the same things, now I'm off to build an 1,150 piece super semi-truck thing my son got from Grandpa for Christmas, goodbye day off, THANKS DAD!

Where To Buy LEGO Small Green Building Plate (10 x 10)


Apart from the relatively expensive price tag (which I guess you can pretty much get away with when there are no real alternatives) this board is more flexible and bendy than I would expect.

When using it on carpet or a thick rug the board has so much give when fixing lego pieces to one area, that the surrounding areas flex so much that other pieces can come off and require refixing.
Its not a great big deal since you can use it on a hard surface with no problems, and its not exactly a safety hazard, but its just annoying especially for smaller kids who want to play on the carpet/rug on the floor.

I am also concerned that ultimately the board may crack due to the flexing, but until that happens I guess I'll give it the benefit of the doubt.
Consider glueing it to a matching sized MDF or wood board for rigidity if it will only be used on rug/carpet.Get more detail about LEGO Small Green Building Plate (10 x 10).

Shop For LEGO brand Toy Story Woody and Buzz Rescue 7590


I bought this set and put it together in about fifteen minutes with my daughter. We were very excited when we got the set, because it comes with both a Woody and a Buzz mini figure, as well as the RC Car. After putting it together, the RC car was surprisingly fast, and also incredibly fragile. The slightest mishandling will cause the car to fall apart. Buzz's visor suffers from the same problem. The RC car is also kind of small.
Overall, this is a neat set, though it seems like it should have been a little cheaper. You are basically paying twenty dollars for two mini figures, since the car is going to fall apart so often, you'll probably just leave it alone. This set is recommended to fans of Toy Story, especially since it is the only way to get both Woody and Buzz in one set. Get more detail about LEGO brand Toy Story Woody and Buzz Rescue 7590.

LEGO Mindstorms NXT 2.0 (8547)


Very educational but has a bit of a learning curve to really enjoy. My son loves robotics and is very patient so after much work he really got into it. But I could see some kids losing interest. It helps if they are big Lego fans and love to build -- especially Bionicle or Technic-type legos as this toy builds similarly to these. Be sure you have a computer easily accessible for the kid to use because it's really absolutely necessary at all times.Get more detail about LEGO Mindstorms NXT 2.0 (8547).

LEGO Creator Community Builders Set Best Quality


This is a large set that makes so many things and the price is cheap compared to what a "pre-designed" set costs. My 11 year old son asked for only one thing from Santa this year and that was the Lego Death Star Santa brought that and his sister gave him this... which one has he played with more?

LEGO Star Wars Rebel Scout Speeder Order Now


Couldn't get this lego set in stores anywhere. My nine year old really wanted it. He was happy with it and it only took about 10 minutes to build. But unfortunately it was way over priced for what it is, I'm guessing because of it's unavailability.Get more detail about LEGO Star Wars Rebel Scout Speeder.

LEGO City Corner (7641) Decide Now


I bought this for my daughter who is building a Lego town. She really found it easy to build, except for the bus which was a little tricky. It is fun to sit the people in the pizza parlor at tables. Also, you can get the pizza lady to put a pizza in a little oven with a door that opens. On the second floor of the pizza parlor there are windows that open. There is a skate shop that sells skateboards and hats. It comes with a guy that has a helmet and skateboard, so you can ride him around the city. The bus stop has a bench area that people can sit on especially a little business man guy. The detail in this set is impressive. Lego has come a long way since I was a kid.

Cheapest LEGO 15 x 15-inch Building Plate


I used this instantly when I got it. Great for bilding, but it would be better if it was thicker so I can build on carpet - I always have to put a board underneath to keep the pieces on it and the pieces pop off if I try to carry it.

Buying LEGO Pirates Loot Island


Not the best Pirates set, but still fun. I like the base plate and the minifigs. LEGO should have used coconut-tree-truck pieces for the coconut trees, instead of the brown cylindrical pieces. Good enough, though.Get more detail about LEGO Pirates Loot Island.

Buy LEGO City Fire Truck


The fire truck is easy to assemble. My 6 year old received it as a Christmas present this year. He has had a lot of fun playing with it. The instructions are easy to follow. The lego creation also holds together well. It does not fall apart easily when bumped as some other lego creations do.Get more detail about LEGO City Fire Truck.

Purchase LEGO City Police Headquarters


My son received one of the smaller lego city police sets for his birthday over the summer. He's been asking to get this set for Christmas since then so the buildup was tremendous. To be honest, this set did not disappoint. It took my 5 year old about 2 days to build this by himself. I only had to provide minimal help applying stickers and ensuring the bricks were together solidly. He and his 3 year old brother both love playing with this set. The little details are really what set this set apart. Toilets in the prison cells, coffee maker and coffee cup in the headquarters, working garage doors, etc. all combine to make this a very playable set once its built. Highly recommended!Get more detail about LEGO City Police Headquarters.

Order LEGO Space Police Squidman's Escape (5969)


I picked this set up because it was cheap and it had some cool figures. This set comes with one Space Police officer with a very detailed printed torso and legs. The Officer also has a cool double sided head with one side being a happy/confident face and the other being an absolutely terrified face. He also has a black helmet and visor. In addition to the officer this set comes with one awesome Squidman figure which has a hard plastic head and a very detailed printed torso. He also has a red cape and a green one hundred dollar bill. The Raptor (the officer's vehicle) was a simple build but in the end it looked very sleek and fast. Here are the basics of the set:

The good things

Officer
Squidman
Raptor
Hundred dollar bill

The bad things

Stickers
No weapons
No handcuffs

Over all, I highly recommend this set.

P.S. you can see my pictures of this set by clicking on See customer image.

LEGO Star Wars Anakin's Jedi Starfighter Review


My Grandchildren wanted a Starwars Lego set. I did some product research and decided on this item. It has many small pieces and was difficult for the 8 year old to assemble. In fact, he had to have his uncle assemble it. Although it made a nice toy when finished, I would not suggest this as a play item. It was a lot of money for a bunch of plastic. Although I have always been pleased with buying Legos for the kids in the past, I would not go for a this or a similar product in the future.Get more detail about LEGO Star Wars Anakin's Jedi Starfighter.

LEGO Star Wars Echo Base (7749) Immediately


I LOVE this Lego toy. Although it is outstandingly fun, has the FIRST EVER Lego Tauntan, and is my most enjoyable Lego set, It is VERY, VERY breakable. Good stuff: Tauntan is almost as fun as the rest of the set, can blast shot Lego men into the air with the press of a Lego piece, and can sometimes shoot bullets up to 2 feet.(When I tried) Bad stuff: Tauntan is hard to put together, big-time breakable, and there is 3 pieces on the bad guy machine gun that are just SO hard to put on and SO hard to keep on. Buuuut, overall, I would recommend it a ToPs Lego toy!!!!!Get more detail about LEGO Star Wars Echo Base (7749).

LEGO 4+ Basic Bulk Set Order Now


I grew up playing with Legos and once my son turned 3 1/2 and started to out grow the Duplos, I gave him my Legos. The problems is my Legos lacked alot of the bigger blocks 2X4, 2X6 and 2X8s. I purchased, well actually Santa purchased, this one to grow his basic block set. This is the best one sold on Amazon as it throws in the useful sized blocks. Other large sets have a lot of 1X1 useless blocks. The smallest block you will get in this set is a 2X2 block. Plenty of 2x3 and 2X4 blocks in this set. This is a great set to start your kids off with basic Legos. Note that this set is only a block set. If you want wheels and people, you need look a different set. I will most likely purchase another set of these for his birthday. Get more detail about LEGO 4+ Basic Bulk Set.

LEGO City Police Command Center 7743 Decide Now


As always, Lego's are a fun family project. However, the picture on the side of the box and the size of the box are deceptive for what the actual build size is. My comparison would be like a bag of chips from Costco (usually about half full after you open it). A little disappointing and the trailer is really too small to do much with.Get more detail about LEGO City Police Command Center 7743.

Save LEGO Creator House


My son got this for Christmas and out of all his presents it is the one he went for right away. He is six years old and has wanted this house for 3 years. He is able to follow the step by step directions quite good on his own. I have had to help a couple times since one piece might be out of place and throw everything off. The detail is quite nice. He works on it about an hour a day and has been able to complete it in about a week. He loves showing us the progression and is very proud of his work as we are too. This is a great lego piece and very nice looking. Get more detail about LEGO Creator House.

Buy LEGO® Road Construction Set


This is an excellent lego set. We got this set for my 3 year old son a year ago and he is still playing with it on a daily basis. The set is geared towards younger children and does not have as many small pieces as some of the other sets. My son and his friends have gotten a lot of play time out of these trucks and they are durable. They don't fall apart on him when he is trying to play. Also,the instructions have pictures of several other vehicles or variations that can be built with this set. My son cannot yet build these legos on his own but he is not far from it. He has watched my husband build and change the sets several times and will comment if you put something in the wrong place. He has built the steam roller on his own with some verbal instruction. The only problem we have had with this set is that the black piece that used to hold up the bulldozer shovel doesn't hold it up well anymore. The price on Amazon is terrible. This item is sold at Toys R Us, Walmart, and Target for $21.Get more detail about LEGO® Road Construction Set.

I got this Lego set for my seven year old, who requested Legos for Christmas. This is his first set. When I asked him what was his favorite gift for Christmas, he said " my Legos." He began playing with it and has been building with it ever since. My older son, who is 12 joins him all the time, and the build together. It is a great set as it comes with many pieces. There are small building plates, but I would recommend getting larger building plates as we have carpet. Overall I am very happy with Legos. It allows children to be creative, and if there is more than one child, it allows for cooperate play. It also takes the emphasis off TV and video game. This a great value, the price was great. I would highly recommend.Get more detail about LEGO Ultimate Building Set - 405 Pieces.
