MEGA Fallout Red Rocket

This was a fun set for the most part. This is my first time with Mega Bloks. I have done numerous set with Lego and Cobi before. First I will start with the good parts. You get a large and detailed set that you build in three sections. You build the pump station, workshop, and garage. The sets are very detailed and a must for any fallout fan. I also love the orange block separating tool. It was a life saver. Another must have is the extras that the instruction booklet has. it has a nice art style and has great Fallout art pictures. Now for the cons. First the instructions are a little confusing at first. Once I got used to the instructions it was fairly straight forward. My second compliant is the legs for the pump station. They are prone to separating from the base. My last complaint is the Dogmeat figurine. It looks good, but the tail affects the position of hind legs. So having Dogmeat do certain poses will be a challenge. Overall it's a great set. It makes me want to go help another settlement.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've enjoyed building blocks since I was a kid and this series tie in set for "Fallout" doesn't disappoint. While challenging, it wasn't so challenging as to take the fun out of the build. Of course some parts were more challenging than others, but there was only one part that I had to fudge, and that was simply because my fingers were to big to get where I needed to go, but I made it work and it's not noticable. I truly appreciate the very helpful step by step instructions, I would have been lost without them. The blocks are well organized into bags, separated by section and numbered. The instructions walk you through bag by bag in numeric order, this also gives you nice stopping points, when you finish a section you can stop until you have time to get back to it and know exactly where you left off. I'm giving it four starts simply because there are a few things that could have been improved. The set consists of three main sections and one of them is only attached to the other section by one brick, making it hard to keep it together at times. Also, the sign was hard to keep together. A simple touch and it can fall apart or off. Overall it was fun, and engaging and it was great for stress and anxiety reduction. This set is well worth the time and effort. Definitely not for younger kids it says 18 and over but I think a highschool age kid could handle it. .

I have always wanted mega to make a fallout themed set, so I was extremely exited for this release. But little did I know, that this set would blow my, already high, expectations out of the water. The power armor looks amazing; the painted detail is clean and the wash adds a level of realism not met by other brick brands. The vault dweller and dog meat are both done beautifully. The Red Rocket was a fun build and looks great on display. But the best part by far, is the detailed print work for the magazines. Mega has always had good prints, but these are literally picture perfect (not to mention that they are textured as well). Furthermore, they have added two variations of all three prints! I hope the this (and the power armor collection) is just the beginning for mega’s fallout line— excellent product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We were excited to receive this building set. There are a fair number of pieces and looked promising. However, shortly after starting assembly, we realized this was not going to be an easy build. The pieces were difficult to keep together. Seemed different from other building sets we have done in the past. It is almost as if the brick tabs are not tall enough to produce a tight fit when snapped together. Moving on to the next part of the build, the pieces we had just assembled would continue to fall apart. It was especially frustrating when trying to connect the tri-pod base under the roof of the gas station. The moving ball joints on the tri-pod were very difficult to work with. The dog figure does not have good articulation. His front leg is attached to his head, so if you want his front leg down to stand up, his head will be looking down. The same with his tail. It would be nice if the head and tail has separate articulation from the legs. Not as pictured on the box or in the instructions. Overall, the set has some nice details and could be a great set if the bricks would stay together better. It made it difficult to play with set without it continuing to fall apart.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this as a Christmas gift and am ecstatic with how it turned out and how detailed it is, Mega Bloks has really improved their tolerances and construction quality since I was a kid. 5 stars, if you're a Fallout fan, just get it, it's worth it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I found the Red Rocket Truck Stop to be fun, engaging, challenging and a good experience putting it together. I like the retro feel of the box cover art as it led me to start thinking about stories which could be told about this post apocalyptic future with hits of space travel. When I opened the box I found it a little daunting with 15 packets of parts with some containing additional packets of parts within but was also like wow there is a lot to this play set. I was tempted to jump right in putting this together but then thought better with so many pieces to play with so I started looking at the book provided. I found the book itself to be a bit of a journey helping me to understand the directions, steps, flow of how things would go together with a comprehensive list of parts. I did find the small pictures a bit challenging especially with parts that looked very similar or it was the same part with a different color. It also took me a bit to understand some of the pictographic instructions. After I made some mistakes in putting things together I started to understand what I was supposed to do. I appreciate the coloring on the pieces which really gives the set the aged feel like the truck stop had really seen some wear and tear. It was challenging for me sometimes to get the pieces to snap into place but after some play I did get a better handle on it, Especially if a piece was being difficult I would swap with another piece or change the orientation and most often would snap right in. The organization of sets helps a lot. I put a little challenge to myself to complete a set of things in a sitting. I struggled at times when I would check the book and found I still had 13 pages to go through to complete a set of packets. I enjoyed the sense of accomplishment when I did complete a set though and could marvel at how all of those pieces ended up being a cute part of the set that would be built upon with the next set of packets. I did take my time drawing out the challenge and enjoyment by completing it over the course of a couple weeks. I definitely would recommend the Red Rocket Truck Stop especially for those individuals who enjoy challenging play which have an associated story with the play. It also helps one focus and use one skills related to visualization, organization and problem solving. Hope others have as much fun and enjoyment as I did!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried out this product over the holidays and found that the older age recommendation was appropriate for both ability to use and the material. I was not aware of the MEGA Fallout universe. I am sure that members of this age group would find it enjoyable.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a fan of both the Fallout franchise and construction toys, I was excited to get my hands on this set and experience a Mega set. I haven’t built one since the early days of the Halo licensed collaboration, and this set has drastically improved on how I remember that experience. Upon opening the package, my first impression was that the set was logically divided into several waves of bags. This provided an easy stopping point which allowed me to break the set up into several building sessions and better fit it into my schedule. I liked that there were some pieces that were made of multiple colors of injected plastic, allowing for a more “natural” look to the pieces, which fit well into the set. However comparing the pieces in the instructions to those in the bag, it was sometimes hard to identify which piece was which due to the lack of the secondary injected color on some pieces. Better controls of the injection molding process could help perfect the aesthetics of each piece. Continuing with the build I started to encounter some of the unique molded pieces such as the character figures and their accessories. I appreciated the realism and detail on these characters, as well as their possibility. I think it provides an advantage for Mega in their marketplace. However I was disappointed by how the characters fit into the sets. Due to their shape they fit into the set by taking a stance with a “split”, and they didn’t fully seat onto the studs. Additionally the dog character did not fit into the set at all, something I think would have improved the experience. It also was missing the saddle or harness it was supposed to come with. Regarding the construction of the set, I liked the brick separator included with it. I could tell that it was developed with builders in mind as it included a lot of helpful features for experienced builders such as the bits in the side that help push out thin circular pieces. I also liked the way the instructions differentiated between newly placed pieces with yellow and blue shadows of where they are placed. However at some points during construction I had multiple flat pieces of varied lengths, and there wasn’t any handy reference to tell what length pieces are used. A scale accurate photo of the length to be used in a certain step would save the user from guessing or counting the number of studs manually. It is hard to tell what a number more than 5 is for the average person, so one can’t easily tell the difference between a 1x8 and 1x10 piece at first glance, especially if it is a flat piece with no studs on top. There were a couple instances later in the build that did have length references, leading to more frustration and confusion as to why it wasn’t included consistently when there were long pieces. I also enjoyed the different building techniques employed to construct the set as it made the set look a lot more natural than a completely rectangular brick build. There were some new piece designs that I hadn’t encountered before that I thought were great ideas and enabled more flexibility in the build. However some of the pieces had excess flash from the molding process, which lowered the quality feel of the set With the set completed, I was pleasantly surprised with the result. Overall I thought the set had excellent detailing throughout. Fallout has an aesthetic that is random, organic, and disheveled, and Mega was able to capture that very well with the overall construction of the set as well as the details included throughout, staying authentic to the licensed IP. The size and level of detail of the set is very fair for the price. The set was clearly designed for not just display, but also play, with a removable roof and several figures and accessories included. Some of the pieces, particularly the flat ones that constituted the walls in some areas, had small gaps between them that were less than ideal. My particular favorite details were the character’s laser gun and attached laser ray, as well as the red rocket sign and the tilted rocket on top of the building. If you’ve played Fallout 4 it is immediately obvious what this set is supposed to be. Overall I think the set is fairly priced, and look forward to more sets from this IP from Mega Construx

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was a really creative and fun set. It was pretty easy to assemble although some pieces required a little more pressure to snap together. I loved the overall design and my daughter was able to complete it in a relatively short time frame.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was a blast to build. It has really vivd color and a lot of detail and.some hidden features. Excellent quality all around. We were very impressed with the included figures. If you're a Fallout fan it's a must have. Definitely hoping for future sets.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so excited to receive this. I am looking forward to displaying this with my other collectables. My grandkids are just as happ to ge to play with Nana's new addition to my collection. I will be recommending this to all my friend and family.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We absolutely LOVED this... I have to say this was made incredibly well. The attention to detail was amazing with this set. Although not easy to put together; it is a lot of fun to see it built and watch it come alive in a sense. Mega Brand never dissapoints!!! For people who were into the FallOut Franchise, this thing is awesome.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love this toy! It provided an excellent opportunity for my husband and son to bond. Fallout is one of my husband's favorite games. We loved the coloring of the blocks and how it allowed for a more realistic scene to develop. When we opened the box that was another plus. The box it meant to open/close. This design beats out other sets my son has put together. This has allowed us to start/stop as needed. The book at first glance seemed overwhelming, but it was in fact a welcomed presentation of what the steps are. The color coding was super helpful. Overall everyone is loving Fallout. Our son has asked to display the final product in his room!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This will be a project!! My daughter who is older is excited to be working on this. It makes you do a lot of planning and thinking. What good entertainment especially when you snowed in. I really recommend this for the older ones and even the adults. Im excited to see the final project.

I received this for Christmas from my awesome wife and love it. It was a fun build and I think the designers did a great job.

The set we bought is missing allot of lego pieces, even though the bags were sealed is missing pieces and can't exchange since they are out of stock

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Fallout Station is very cool, loved all the little elements that were put into it. The pieces are small so a bit difficult to put together for some of us. But all in all it’s a cool display once completed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Set Is Amazing. It Comes With Everything And Even A German Shepard Dog. We Had Loads Of Fun And Reimagining As We Played. Highly Recommend For Anyone Seeking To Enhance Their Creativity. We Will Add This Set To Our Growing Collection! Blessings…

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've asked my grandson his opinions on this set and I've written down some key points, so here they are: It's a great set. It's challenging with some difficulty but not too bad. There are some really tiny parts that are kind of hard to hold onto, to put it together but my 20 year old autistic grandson is able to manage it. He's still working on it but he has a lot completed and he works on it each day at the diningroom table. It keeps him occupied for an hour or two at a time. He does enjoy it. It the first set that he's really worked on for this long. So he definitely likes it. Even his 9 year old brother (also autistic) enjoys it. Sometimes they'll work on it together and it's amazing because they don't spend time doing anything together. I love watching them spending time together. All in all, it's a pretty cool Lego set and my grandson wants more like it after he finishes building this one.
