Love it!
My 5 year old has had this set for about a year now. It gets a ton of use and he builds all sorts of different things with it. Great open ended building toy that's a little different than most!

Won't stay together
I get frustrated playing with it, how would any kid do it. Nothing stays together. I bet the instructions pictures were glued.

The chocolate roof does not work
I will say this - the chocolate roof does NOT fit. The distance between the orange sticks when you make the "candy cottage" is too large for the chocolate pieces. Or the chocolate pieces are too small for the area between the orange sticks. So if you hook it from the top - which in the instructions it clearly states to do it FROM THE BOTTOM, it still does not reach. End of the day - all the pieces do not work so this is a FAIL. Which is sad bc we love this company. It's way too expensive to be wasting money.
Bummed out candy construction

Chocolate pieces don't work
I bought two of these as gifts, and both sets had the same problem as other reviewers have mentioned: the pieces don't stick together. The connections on the chocolate pieces, in particular, appear to be too short. The holes on some of the candies may also be too big for the connections to fit snuggly. I tried to build the car, and it was completely impossible for me, let alone my 3 1/2 year old. I am so terribly disappointed, as this toy had the potential to be really great! I am considering making a YouTube video showing how poorly this product works so that other kids and parents aren't let down like we were.
