    Poorly laid out

    The designer missed more opportunities for creative play with this product than they took. Struts have so much potential with no way to apply.

    Great Product!

    My son and his friends all love this yet, they play with it for long periods of time. My one and only complaint is that there needs to be an expansion set so the kids can have more pieces to build with. Please consider adding additional items to this product line. My kids are not impressed with the castle or playground kits - there is not much to build with those sets.

    Engineering Process

    This is a great set for students to explore the engineering process in a hands-on way. Students learn spatial concepts, problem solving, and collaboration.

    Great set but could do with two cars :(

    Great set! Being enjoyed by all but disappointed that there is only one car per two men. Would make sense to have two cars for two men. A lot of fun but then fights over the one car :s Four stars for a great set :)

    For a gift..

    I bought this as a gift. Although I have yet to give it to him, I have been impressed by how quickly it arrived and the quality of other items I purchased. This looks like a great quality product as well.

    Educationally Engaging

    I received this product as part of an incentivized review program. I use it with my niece (8yo) and nephew (4yo) to encourage learning during play time. It is another great kit from engineering and design. My niece in particular loves all of their products. It has really gotten her engaged in STEM exploration. The product is definitely engaging and can withstand use. I would recommend it to any parent or family member looking for an educational but fun toy.

    Great Building Set!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product through an incentive program, and am so glad I did! My 6 year old daughter loves this set. She has no trouble following the instructions to put the pieces together, and immediately started building and rebuilding the various parts of the city. Now that she has had it for several weeks, she is building off her own ideas. This set provides a great foundation fore engineering concepts, and a lot of great pieces for kids to be creative with. I would highly recommend it!

    City building

    This toy is great for thought provoking and let's their imagination come to play. I would definitely agree with the age of 5 at least, tried to let my 3yr old give it a try and it wasn't as successful as I hoped. The cards are great to give an additional option for building in several different ways.

    we loved this product

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] this was for a 5 year old. He loved that he can make different designs. The cards are nice for the young kids that cannot read but can follow picture directions. We looked for directions on what to do with the stickers and did not find any, so he just put them wherever he wanted to
