Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Great Legos for Reasonable Price) 『I got this for my sons aged 5 and 7. Great value, hate all the little teeny, tiny pieces that will FOR SURE get lost, swept up, vacuumed up,e tc., but otherwise a great starter set for kids. Good booklet too with building ideas, however I wish they had included more building ideas, especially to stimulate the imagination of my younger son. Overall, excellent produce though. Only one suggestion to lego with this kind of container -- maybe a sub section just for the teeniest of pieces? Otherwise, overall A+』
(Legos are the Best) 『Great Value, lots of pretending to do with this set. Great for kids who like to build things, sturdy pieces and lots of them. Good idea for kids just getting into Legos, lots of basic pieces. I am very pleased with this set.』
(Grandson's Delight) 『It's a great gift for my 4 yr. old grandson. It will allow him to be creative, increase his dexterity, and have a building set that grows with him!』
(Classic lego) 『This is a tub of legos, need I say more, Lego has quality and always will』
(Great assortment, but...) 『My son loves this set, at 3 he just covered the square with one level, I don't think he got building up until after I showed him multiple times, but now at just over 4 he is building intricate things. The only reason I give this a 4 stars overall, is because I wanted to use the bucket to store ALL of his Legos in (the box only comes about 1/3 full at the most), but the larger green board for building on wouldn't fit, and the board it comes with is tiny, inhibiting big creative projects. Otherwise an awesome toy that brings out the kid in me as well when I play with my son.』 『Get busy building! This jam-packed tub features an extensive assortment of LEGO bricks and other fun elements. It includes a building plate, mini figure, windows, doors and wheels. New container allows for easy clean-up and efficient storage. The transparent lid lets builders display their models.

What We Think
Fun factor: Durability: Ease of assembly: Educational factor:
The Good: Lego starter kit lets younger children build a house, car, dog, helicopter, and more.
The Challenging: Younger children may need help with following the instruction.
In a Nutshell: The ideal Lego starter kit for kids too old for Duplos.
The Ideal Lego Starter Kit The Lego Ultimate Building Set includes everything a child needs to take the first steps to becoming an expert Lego builder. It includes one mini figurine, a building plate, and a wide mix of standard bricks in various colors as well as house and wheel elements.
Following the included instructions and using pieces in the starter kit, kids can build a house, helicopter, dog, and car. The only flaw is that the instructions may be challenging for younger children, and require adult assistance.
As is the case with virtually every Lego set, your child will be limited only by his, or her, imagination and perseverance. Although the kit is designed for younger children graduating from Lego Duplos, you can be confident that your child will never actually grow out of the Ultimate Building Set. All of the pieces can be incorporated into future Lego collections.
What's in the Box 405 standard Lego pieces with house and wheel element, mini figurine, durable plastic storage case, and instructions.
With 405 pieces, this Legos starter kit allows your child to build a variety of different things.

As I write this, its early November and they are already asking about it. They love Legos in general and are always happy to get new pieces. Amazon.com is the best place to buy it.

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (This design is embarrassing.) 『This is without a doubt the worst design I have experienced from Lego. It's so poor I'm embarrassed for them. I was a faithful Lego lover in the 80's when I was a child, and am now enjoying them again with my son. We have nearly every Lego Star Wars and Indiana Jones set and most of them are decently thought out constructions, this one however, is not (the Temple of Doom is a poor design too, stay away from that set also).
Many of the large pieces and even sections are held together by just one or two Lego dots, if you gently lift and rotate it to an upside down position, or attempt to carefully transport it, there is little chance it will hold together. You may have been lucky to have gotten pieces that fit slightly more tightly than our set, when held upside down ours definitely slips apart. My son was not able to put this set together, and I enjoyed putting it together about as much as I have enjoyed constructing tedious models.
This set is not designed to the standard that I expect Lego to maintain. There is a reason why Lego is more expensive than Mega Blocks or any other Lego impostor, and it's because they have maintained a high standard over the years. This set is not at that standard. The only good thing about this set is that it does come with a lot of figures. The catapult is pretty good also.
Unless your child absolutely must have these figures I suggest spending your money on another set.』
(Star Wars Lego) 『This a great Toy for those of the original Star Wars Fans and their children. It brings back great memories and new ones with our kids』
(Lego Star Wars) 『Purchased as a gift for the grandson...he loves this stuff. He is 8 years old and puts the kits together the first time...just like the instructions state...then he trys out different designs after that and really enjoys the Lego kits. Better than a computer game because it makes him think...design....and see his results on something he can hold in his hand.』

My girls play with the other lego sets but they loved the little female touches on this one- "lights" that can be used as a "chandelier" or an outside lamp post, why they made a restaurant out of theirs, creating a buffet area, kitchen, dining area using their imagination and the legos creatively! Wonderful toy!』
(LEGO is for girls too!!!!!!!) 『LEGO is a valuable toy for the entertainment of children and adults too. Putting the parts together and making a recognizable item is gratifying, especially to an elementary-age child. Being able to read the directions and/or follow the pictures and completing a project is good practice for life when we all have to study an instruction book/paper and get something assembled. LEGO has been aimed at boys for years, but it is time the sets were designed and marketed for girls.』
(LEGO Fun) 『This was a gift for my daughter's fourth birthday. The box of LEGOs comes with loads of basic building blocks plus a horse, person, wheels, and several other components to build cars, houses, flowers, etc. There is also an instruction booklet to help your child get building. Even my daughter can look at the pictures and figure out what pieces she needs although she may not always get them put together correctly. There is one flat, building platform included but I think LEGO should have included a couple more of the building platforms. I really like that the lid snaps closed as there are a lot of small pieces that can easily spill everywhere if the box is knocked over. This is a great gift to get your child's imagination going and to foster creativity. At first, she didn't really know where to start as there are so many pieces but we sat down and started building and now she can build tons of things on her own. She will pull the box out on her own (without any suggestion on my part) and get to work. She delights in showing me what she has made. Overall, I think this is a basic, great gift that will help your child develop her spatial concepts and a further understanding of how the concepts of symmetry and gravity work (e.g., a table needs 4 legs to stay standing, a house needs 4 walls to build a roof across the top, etc.). If anything, it will augment your child's fine motor skill coordination. Overall, this is a winner toy.』
(extremely satisfied) 『My kids have had a lot of fun building houses and different cars. It comes with instructions which are helpful so I can help them. They play with them a lot.』

(Good Starter Set, but could use another large plate.) 『This is a great first set. Duplo blocks are Lego's larger toddler blocks, so the smallest piece is an over-sized 2x2 block.
I would suggest buying one of the big green base plates along with this set. LEGO Large Green Building Plate (15" X 15") This set has only the one smallish green building plate to build on which limits what you can build. We had to be creative to build houses, stairs or anything requiring a large base.
Included in this set is a smallish green base, a car frame and a lego man as well as a nice variety of building blocks. The storage bin is very durable and easy for adults to open but a challenge for most toddlers. One odd thing about this set is that many of the colors are kind of muted rather than the bright, vivid colors most of us associate with a basic lego starter set--this surprised me, but didn't bother my toddler at all.
I think the base plate is supposed to work with both Duplo and standard Legos, but I'm not sure. I think Duplo blocks are supposed to connect into the standard legos, too--although I don't know many older kids that would want to do that.』
(Great Starter Set) 『My twin three year olds have really taken to this set in recent months and it has really brought out their creativity. They have built me all manner of houses, trains, tracks, cars, aeroplanes and schools and even Kenya. I love their pride as they explain to me what they have built. I also love that they are able to play together quietly for more than 5 minutes with this toy. The box makes storage and clean up time easier. I wish that there were more bricks and more wheels and a bigger base plate but the real beauty of this toy is that you can add to it to suit your needs.』
(A great toy) 『LEGO's have been around for a long time. It's an imagination booster! I bought this set for my grandchild although I had purchased many sets for my 3 children. This was the toy that continued to be used long after one would think children would tire of it.』

They greatly complement our wooden train sets. We have hours of fun building towns etc. and get our creative juices flowing.』
(Expensive but not much fun) 『I bought this because of the good reviews. However, this is one of the few purchases that my experience is way different than the review.
1. For $45, my 3 year old played with it for 15 minutes then moved on to old toys. The blocks in the heavy huge and to me very unnecessary wooden box is just too few and too boring. There is not much you can create with the few pieces of blocks. 2. Way over priced. $45 for 15 minutes of fun? I love most baby toys. This is the one I really have no interest at first (second and third) glance. 3. A small incidence - One block my son knocked down fell on my toe. I was in severe pain for 10 seconds. Imagine it fell on your baby's toe/finger.
If you don't care paying $45 and you buy 10 sets of these, I can imagine this is totally fun. You can build a few projects with the piece. But definitely one box gives you not much to excite about.
BTW, I have to complement the quality of the wood. Very smooth, sturdy and beautiful』
(relieved that they're good and seem safe) 『I'm not a big fan of Melissa and Doug in general and think Plan Toys are generally better designed and have a nicer, clean look. Also, I know Melissa and Doug have had recalls (I think there was a stacking train with bad paint), and that a lot of their toys are manufactured in China (including said stacking train).
But I figured, hey, unit blocks are pretty simple and require little design input, they're unpainted, and Melissa and Doug have a box of 60 for $ [...] (the Plan Toys pack was smaller, more expensive and didn't come with a nice storage box) -- they can't mess this up, can they? YAY!! They didn't! They're awesome!
Also, I don't know if this will hold true for M&D unit blocks in the future, but the box I got said it was manufactured in Thailand (like Plan Toys). Double YAY!

Hardwood Quality with Smooth, Rounded Edges In these days of electronic toys, it's important not to forget the fundamentals of childhood development. Wooden blocks offer children endless ways to exercise their imagination as they improve their hand-eye coordination and gross motor skills. They also help children establish important relationships between the "part" and the "whole," and the help to provide basic lessons on engineering and gravity.
These Standard Unit Blocks feature Melissa&Doug's signature focus on simple designs, safety and utility.

The blocks are packaged in a handsome, durable wooden storage crate that will help you keep the blocks stored in between building sessions, and help you keep them in your family for years to come.

Like all legos, how durable can it really be? While he put it together, I found I had to go back and fix/correct a couple things because it effected the overall sturdiness and he wasn't precise when originally putting it together. And as his lego stuff is all over his room (and you can't fold it up and put it away easily)it does get knocked a bit and inadvertently stepped on by his younger brother. So we have to backtrack and fix. It's educational in the sense that he uses his imagination when he's got all his lego stuff out.』

Rule the Galaxy with the Ultimate Republic Starship As seen in the film Star Wars: The Clone Wars -- in which the heroic Jedi Knights try to restore peace to the Galaxy as more and more members of the Republic fall under the influence of the Dark Side -- the Venator-Class Republic Attack Cruiser provides an action-packed narrative setting to inspire imaginative play.
Every detail of the Republic flagship is packed into this 20-inch-long model, which includes a front panel that opens to reveal Palpatine's quarters, a hidden cannon under the wings, a drop-bomb launcher, an escape pod, and more. The Venator-Class Republic Attack Cruiser comes complete with five mini figures: Chancellor Palpatine, two of his elite Senate bodyguards, one Clone Trooper pilot, and one Clone Trooper gunner.
Building the Venator-Class Republic Attack Cruiser With 1,170 pieces and two colorful instruction booklets, the Venator-Class Republic Attack Cruiser took our two adult testers approximately three-and-a-half hours to construct. The majority of the pieces come in shades of gray, so approaching construction requires a bit or organization and discipline. But once building is started, detailed step-by-step illustrations make assembly straightforward.
Overall, this set scores an excellent rating for its clever design elements. Just when you think you've discovered all the hidden weapons and command posts, you stumble across another. Our favorite features are the Palpatine mini figure -- complete with cloth cape and wrinkled brow -- the sliding gunner, the hidden Clone Trooper cockpit, the escape pod, the bomb dropper, and the Chancellor's enormous command center.
Finally, most of all, our testers enjoyed the way the narrative of this set allowed them to reenact the ship-to-ship combat seen in Star Wars: The Clone Wars. They also appreciated that the storyline is simple enough to make the set entertaining, whether or not your child has seen the film.

(Camping Fun!) 『My son has recently been introduced to the Lego world. He saw this camper and had to have it. It was not difficult to put together and it offers an opportunity for his imagination to get to work.』
(Good set to own) 『I got this set for the minifigs and accesories. Not a cool set (from a guy's perspective), but fun and good, nonetheless.』
(Excellent LEGO set, as always!) 『My daughter got this for her 7th birthday and really enjoyed putting it together. She continues to play using it with her other lego sets. Perfect size, it didn't take so long to put together that she got bored, and an excellent price.』 『Pack up the camper with everything youll need for your trip, including a surfboard, bike and grill. Adventure and the open road await.』
