(Lots of fun, but not as challenging as I expected) 『This was my first big Lego kit, put together with my 10 year old daughter. The bags and manuals were well-organized according to the part of the set you are assembling. There did happen to be three parts that were missing, but I filled out a painless form on the Lego site and they will apparently be here in a few weeks. Out of almost 900 pieces, missing 3 is not bad. (We used cafeteria trays to hold the loose pieces, and since all three are the same and only instances of that item, I am certain they were left out of the kit rather than lost.)
My only complaint with this set is that it took us about three hours, and that's after slowing down when we realized the fun would be over so soon. I really thought that a $90 set would last a little longer, but maybe that's because replay value for us is limited. My daughter loves assembling Legos but not really playing with the finished product. However, they are still cool to look at and display. In fact, I don't know that she'll let her 8 year old brother play with them, since they do seem to be a bit fragile. I can see vital parts easily coming off and being lost. Regardless, we will certainly be collecting more.』 『The digger is busy on site when the massive delivery truck arrives with the roof and wall sections.

Usually ships in 24 hours Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Very Cool Robot) 『Very cool new Robot from Lego. Excellent retro design. Seems very 1950's sci-fi with the feel of a James Bond-esque villian. Excellent for kids to build and play with (if child is around 4,5 or 6, help them with the build). And it's very poseable. Also there's so many extra's in this set with figures and vehicles. Just excellent.
PRO's-Robot design, right hand rotating claw (which can hold the mini-figures in its grasp), left hand with a great idea from lego: a light up brick that attaches to the left arm to light up a 'flame thrower' type weapon (excellent idea). Villian sits in the bubble headed top of the robot, which can be opened and the villian can eject and escape via a small escape pod/craft. Torso of Robot can also be detached from legs and used as an escape vehicle. You also get a Lego Agents jump jet plane with 2 flick fire missiles, a 4 wheeler vehicle, 2 lego agents (Chase and Trace), 3 civilians (one with a camera) and the villianous Dr. Inferno (I think that's his name) with a rubber head-dress design and brush metal right arm/claw. The 4-wheeler has a rope (string is strong) attached to a wench on the back end with a hook.
CON's-Really none except the 4-wheeler could be slightly better designed (perhaps a more detailed vehicle and could use a 'crank' or lever to help pull the rope/string-but you can do this with your thumb anyways). Also mid-torso area doesn't completely rotate 360 degrees. It goes all the way right and all the way left but to completely rotate 360 it touches/taps part of some bricks and makes them separate if done too hard. Lego should've just added a small center piece to lift torso slightly so it rotates smooth.
Other than my above 'CON' suggestions, this is an excellent toy/model from Lego. I HIGHLY recommend it to new and old lego collectors and especially for young kids to play with. A Robot, 2 vehicles (4 if you count in the escape pods from the Robot) and 6 mini-figures. JUST A GREAT SET! 』 『LEGO Agents Robo Attack (8970)』

(lego) 『For my grandson, He loves it. Put it together immediately, and plays with it often.』
(Lego Indiana Jones Temple Escape) 『A little frustrating for an 8 year old to assemble, but "pretty cool" once it was done.』
(Lost interest fast) 『For us raised on the first Indiana Jones, it's tempting to think this is the ultimate Lego for our kids. I built this with my 6 year old who loves Indiana Jones. But since we built it, he's hardly played with it. By looking at the box, you might expect spears to go flying and the boulder to automatically roll. If there's some cool mechanism here, I wasn't able to get it to work. Despite the rave reviews, I was not totally impressed. Think twice before shelling out too much money for this one.』
(Creativity Stimulus) 『Lego is great for the mini engineer in the family. Though he's built the temple only once, my just turned 7 seven-year-old has created innumerable variations of buildings and vehicles that are great exercise for his creativity.』 『Indiana Jones has come to a temple deep in the jungle in search of an ancient idol. But can he avoid the collapsing walls, shooting arrow traps, slithering snakes, spiked walls and a massive boulder rolling right for him? It's all out action, Indy style! Includes Indiana Jones with hat, whip and shoulder bag, Belloq, Satipo and pilot minifigures, plus 6"L plane with snake inside, just like the scene from the movie. Features and details include skull rocks, bat, spider, spiderweb, skeletons, gold coins and more. 554 pieces. Temple measures a total of 21"L.』

(Perfect for little fingers) 『My four-year-old received this for his birthday and can put it together by himself. But it's not so easy that he feels like he's playing with "baby" blocks, as he now likes to call the Duplo blocks. It's perfect for moving up to the bigger sets with more pieces and greater detail.

Usually ships in 24 hours Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Tinkertoy) 『Just awful. I threw it out! It was purchased for my four year old grand daughter. I sat down to build with her as I remembered Tinkertoy and loved it so much from my childhood.The holes in the circular shapes were all irregular in size and it was frustrating finding the rods that would fit in. I should have sent it back for a refund. This is nothing like the original tinkertoy in quality or construction.
I rated it as one star because it would not accept a perfect zero.

(Quality Problems) 『I remember this toy being fun to play with when I was a kid. Now we received one of these sets as a gift for my three year old son. The first couple of times we played with it it was pretty good. After that, a lot of the pieces don't stay together any more. Now I don't like to play with it. If we manage to build something it's just not sturdy and my son gets very upset when it falls apart. 』
(HOURS&HOURS OF FUN!!!) 『My 3 1/2 year old grandson and I were looking for something to do and found our old box of Tinkertoys on the shelf in the closet. We had soooo much fun! After we got done making things, we broke everything and he started all over again by himself -- making all sorts of gadgets and gizmos. Now, every time he visits he wants to get the Tinkertoys out. The only problem is keeping his younger brother occupied with something else because Tinkertoys are definitely for "big kids", 3 1/2 and up.
I purchased this Classic Jumbo Set for an older grandson a couple of years ago and I will be buying another set again later this year. It is a great set with enough pieces for one child to have a great time.
Tinkertoys are great! They let kids use their imagination and they can become so many different things depending on the child's interests. I played with Tinkertoys, my kids played with Tinkertoys, and now my grandkids enjoy them. Everyone should own a set of Tinkertoys.』
(The old toys are the best) 『I fully remember the good times I had as a kid playing with tinkertoys. So many toys now don't allow the child to use their imagination. In that respect, the old toys are still the best toys.』
(day care provider) 『My mom had cleaned out all of her stuff when she had to move and she gave me the toys that had been accumulating there for years for my day care kids. There was a couple of sets of tinkertoys. When my kids came the next day they played and played with them since it was something they hadn't seen before. So that is when I started searching online to get some more to add to what I had. They really enjoy building with them.』 『Over the years, millions of children have created fanciful windmills, giant Ferris wheels, amazing animals and whimsical vehicles.

Easily build and play with many different large-scale structures using the enclosed instructions. Or use your imagination to create lots of new structures. Over 100 pieces. Combine this set with other Tinkertoy sets to create even larger structures!』 『Tinker Toys have entertained kids for decades--ever since their 1913 invention by Charles Pajeau, who was inspired by children playing with pencils and empty spools of thread.

Usually ships in 24 hours Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (My son loves the Lego TCR!) 『My son loves this toy. The instructions are in TWO books and it took several days to put it together. My husband had to help my son finish it. My son made some mistakes putting it together and my husband had to correct those. The instructions are some times difficult to follow. Some of the pieces fell on the floor as it was being assembled and some of them got stepped on and bent, but they didn't break. You will need lots of patience with tiny lego pieces to get this put together. It's expensive, too. My son saved up the $100 to buy this over several months. I think it's very over priced, but I have to admit, my son loves it and plays with it a lot.』
(8 year old boy reviews Power Miners Titanium Command Rig) 『I was very excited to start building this set. It took me around 4 - 5 hours to build it. It looks very cool when it is all done. The net launcer does not launch the net as far as it is supposed to. The rock monster does not throw the rocks as far as I saw on a different review. The crane tilt does not work good. The drill sometimes stalls. Only get it if you really, really want it as it is pretty expensive. If it were $50 it would be a better value, I think.』 『With a rumble of wheels and a powerful planetary drill, here comes the Titanium Command Rig. The Power Miners mobile headquarters transforms from massive rolling vehicle to vertical mining platform with dual-geared spinning drill and lots of gear and accessories. Just watch out for the giant red rock-throwing monster and his lever-action throwing arm.』

They have tons of Lego pieces and this gives them a place to really let their imaginations go. Now they have 6 of these platforms! Often, they connect them together for a LARGE city.』
(Good for building whatever you want.) 『The Lego baseplates are a great addition so that any lego collector can build whatever they want.』
(Very useful) 『I would say that while I think 7 bucks is a bit much my son has had constant play using this and has definitally put 7 bucks worth of use into it I think. I do agree that they should be included and I also would like to find one of the lego tables although someones suggestion of fixing them to a board or something might just be an idea. My son has used them to build hotels on or even makes his own "game grid" or mazes or even maps. He is 7 and I have to say he loves this thing and I plan on maybe getting him another. I nearly forgot to add that while some people have seen durability problems we haven't. It has even been stepped on by his older sister and while it left a faded green mark it did not bend it or anything. It has been very durable for us.』
(Essential, but not without flaws) 『These baseplates are important if your little one likes to build structures with Legos. I'd recommend attaching them to a board (I wood-glued 6 of them to a board, added some molding, and put sliders underneath so I could store the board under beds or sofas) so they won't flex.
Otherwise, you'll definitely need to encourage your child to play with these on a table or other hard surface, and warn them that moving their constructions to another spot might result in the creations coming apart.』
(lego base plate) 『It really is not what I was looking for, but the children have found other uses for it.』 『The perfect starting point for LEGO creations!

Our Duplo version is much thicker and sturdier, so it's a surprise that this one is so thin and cheap. I certainly don't feel like I should have to get out my glue gun and MDF to "fix" it, as another reviewer did. (Great problem solving, but it shouldn't be necessary.) Alas, we will keep it because a base plate really is needed for any serious Lego creation, and there aren't alternatives that I know of. C'mon, Lego, I expect much higher quality from you!』
(Lego building plate) 『I would say that this product is pretty good. It is very large, so you can build many things on top of it. I actually used it for a Lego Star Wars building contest thinking it would be a small little thing, but when I got it, I was impressed. I would recommend this this to anybody who likes Legos.』
(good building plate) 『good to have if you have a lot of legos and want to keep it all in one place. Best price at Amazon.com』
(Not great for Duplo) 『This is probably a great plate for legos, but I bought it for my 18 month old to use with his duplo blocks and it doesn't work very well (even though it is advertised for both). Most of the duplo blocks will click on this plate, but it is hard for a very young child to do. I ended up buying a plate especially for duplo blocks which is much better. Will put this away until he is old enough for legos.』
