Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (They're blocks - keep that in mind) 『We got these after seeing the Incrediblocks in the FP Catalog.
There are little to no pizazz to the blocks. Some have features where you can "spin" them (like the letter Q - Queen) or the W (watermelon seeds that rattle) - but most are just a "look at me" type of a block.
With that in mind - yes I like the product. They're blocks. They're meant for stacking, knocking over and banging - which my son loves (he's had these since he was 6 months). They're better than the plain wooden blocks because they're textured, they have objects inside, letters - lots of opportunities to learn letters, colors, objects, descriptions, etc.
For now he's stacking, banging and knocking over. It'll be around for a while until he's ready to learn more words, colors, objects, animals. This review isn't profound or eye openings because again - they're just blocks. Keep that in mind when making your purchasing decision. It will not make your child an overnight rocket scientist =)』
(1 year old fun!) 『My daughter received these for her 1st birthday and were a big hit as soon as we took them out of the bag. Right now she just likes the noise they make as well as the size of the blocks. I have a feeling they will be a favorite as she can start to recognize the shapes in the blocks and use them to spell words as she gets older.
Great gift for a toddler!』
(Excellent product) 『These Alphabet blocks are so beautiful they could be classed as works of art or collectors items. I have purchased two seys as gifts and will probably buy more,』
(Awesume! BEST BLOCKS EVER!) 『THIS TOY WAS OUR GRANDSON'S FAVORITE, SO I JUST HAD TO FIND IT AGAIN FOR OUR NEWEST GRANDCHILD. THANK GOODNESS FOR ONLINE SHOPPING.』
(Great for Twins) 『I purchased the Alphabet blocks for my twin daughters. They are just over 8 months old and they love them. This product is a great learning tool for them for years to come but for now it a great teething toy!!! I would recommend this to anyone, plus I love Fisher Price.』 『Peek-a-Blocks build anew on a beloved and classic toddler toy. Each alphabet Peek-a-Block dons one letter on a see-through plastic shell. Inside is a colorful object that has a name starting with that letter. The 26 blocks come in a deluxe clear vinyl storage bag with a zipper closure. Imported.』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Toa Takanuva of Light&Shadow) 『This is one of my favorite large sets. It is lots of fun to play with and contains lots of recolored pieces. The mask is a new piece. The Midak Skyblaster works well and can hold up to 4 spheres. The legs are sturdy and well armored except for the big hole in his lower leg. The weapon will fall out if it is upside down, but I got an extra piece in my set that fixes the problem. Overall there is not many bad things about it. I recommend this set to anyone.』 『Partially drained of light by a shadow leech, Takanuva struggles to hold off the corruption eating away at him. Armed with a Midak skyblaster and a giant three-pronged power lance, this mighty power of light is a match for any foe. 267 pieces. Measures 15" tall when assembled.』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Tekton review) 『My 6 year old son bought this with his own money and he loves to build with it. He's been a Lego fan and now he has something new to build with. He's already requested other Tekton pieces. The only downfall is that windows are hard for him to get on and some need to be cut to be able to fit in the building designs but as long as he can build, he doesn't care if some windows are missing.』
(hours of fun) 『I had one of these as a kid in the late 50's and I must have played with it for years. I still have it today.It must have influenced me a lot because I went into the building trades and I went on to school and studied building and design and still work in that field today.』
(I had this when I was a kid!) 『I was just telling a friend I wish I had saved my Girder and Panel building set from when I was a kid because I LOVED it. I am so happy this company has brought it back and I think my kids will have just as much fun as I did with mine.』 『Start your city with this eye-catching office tower. Brilliant blue side panels and blue columns and beams make a striking office building. Easy-to-follow plans are included for three different structures. Build a hospital, a hotel, or a department store.』

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Star Wars Y-Wing fighter, Lego style!) 『Out of all the Lego Star Wars ships, this is my favorite one. So easy to put together, but magnificent in its detail. Of course its Lego, and that means it will last forever. Anyone who is a collector, or even just wants to play with them will be thrilled with this model.』
(Factory box is sealed with scotch tape!) 『I was a little alarmed to receive a box sealed with strips of scotch type tape. I was concerned that box had been tampered with and worried about missing pieces. Seller advised that this is how Lego packages their items. Apparently often there are missing pieces and Lego will replace them for free via [...] I am sure my grandson will love this Lego set as he loves Star Wars.』
(We love the Y-Wing) 『I just love Legos. They go together perfect and they always have all the pieces and they can be played with after putting together! Great for my 8-yr-old son.』
(1 year later and still a great toy.) 『I bought this for my son last year at Christmas. He was 9 then and built the toy right away. He assembled it by himself in no time (as other mentioned). However that did not diminish the value. He had a great sense of pride in the fact he built it. After a month or so we made him disassemble it and put it away. But this Summer he assembled it again and played with it for 2 months. Wonderful toy.』
(Lego Star Wars Y-Wing Fighter Review (I couldn't think of a better title! :() 『I think that this set captures the essence of one of the Rebel Alliance's best joint strike fighters, besides the X-Wing. It's very durable. It looks like the real thing, too, with all the inner workings exposed for easy maintanence. I turned the bombs into lights on the area between the engines and the main fuselage. After everything's been said and done, this is the best set I've ever gotten.』 『This all-new model of the classic Star Wars vehicle is packed with incredible movie-accurate details, from its twin nose-mounted laser cannons and movable cockpit turret to its droid co-pilot and extended engine nacelles. It can even drop "bombs" on Imperial targets. Includes Rebel pilot and astromech droid mini-figures. 454 pieces.』

Citiblocs are great. They are durable and openended play time that attract the kids again and again. I would hightly recomend them. They are also much more affordable than the other blocks out there that look the same but cost more money. I saved some more money by buying my citiblocs at Amazon. Thanks Amazon.』
(These are very basic, which is good.) 『These little blocks are very basic and kids can really use their imaginations when playing with them. They only problem is if yours are around the ages of my grandchildren (2,3,3,4) then the pictures in the instruction book are very difficult, if not impossible, for a small child to build. Of course that doesn't keep them from wanting to build them which puts you right down on the floor with them. And some were too hard for me.
Otherwise, these are great little building blocks. Just hide the hard pictures!』 『This 100 piece set is a wonderful way to get started building simple, small structures that's just a step up from the 52 piece set. Build low and twice as wide, or stack them twice as high and narrow. Whatever your preference, the Citiblocs 100 piece set will keep the beginning builder flexing his or her imagination while developing fine motor skills. You can expand your building horizons by adding additional sets including the 52, 100, 200, and 300 piece sets! All Citiblocs Wooden Building Sets are compatible and interchangable with each other. CitiBlocs are a unique wooden building toy made of New Zealand pine . These small rectangular blocks measure 1" x 4 1/2" x 1/4" Kids (and their parents) can enter a creative world of building, fantasy and fun. The possibilities are infinite. With 100 pieces you can build boats and cars and towers and bridges - both tall and wide. Add colors to our 100 blocks for exotic birds and futuristic designs and buildings. Build outside the box with CitiBlocs, enhancing awareness, vision and skill - engaging hands on experience, concentration and understanding. Introduce builders to the world of are and design, science and expression, mathematics and history - the joy of creating and learning all the time. CitiBlocs: the finest building blocks in the world! The essential building and learning toy.』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Take off with Lego Copter Set!) 『Terrific set and excellent value. Build fantastic action vehicles that use the unique Power Function, a wind up winch brick to make models that move! The cover model is a fabulous cargo helicopter that actually winches up a cargo platform. All three models in this 3-in-1 Creator set are very realistic, as well as satisfying, fun builds. Alternate models include a single engine hi-wing monoplane with wind-up propeller props that spin by themselves, or a cool speed boat with power retractable anchor and two outboard motors that swing into up or down positions. Excellent building fun and play value once built. See a great video review, Bills' Creations - Lego Cargo Copter on UTube.』
(A Lego Skycrane!) 『The set is not too far off from a Sikorsky Skycrane. The winch works nicely. The set also has directions for two other models. Amazon's $19.99 price is a good value.』 『No cargo's too tough for this mighty Cargo Copter! Use the power functions to automatically raise the cargo platform and carry it anywhere you want. Includes instructions for rebuilding the copter into a speed boat with power functions anchor or a plane with a power functions spinning propeller. Cargo Copter measures 12" long. 272 pieces.』

(really cool!) 『Really cool! To keep it simple this is how I'll discribe this toy: cool thornax launcher and very durable. I would recommend this toy to ANYONE!!!』
(Another great-looking Bionicle!) 『My 7 year old Bionicle fan received Malum for his birthday, and thought he was really cool. What Bionicle isn't? Pretty standard Bionicle construction with mostly pieces we've seen before (other than the weapons, which I think are new for 2009).
Pros: Great red and yellow color scheme with many bi-color pieces Really sturdy construction... way less tippy than many of our older guys Two cool fire claws, and a great shooting weapon that works easily&well
Cons: Shooter only comes with one round of ammo. I can foresee constant pleas for help finding it and tears when I can't.』 『Exiled from his fire tribe for crimes in the arena, Malum wanders the wastes, challenging other Glatorian for his own gain. Armed with flame claws and a spiked Thornax launcher, he is the last being a Glatorian wants to meet.』

Usually ships in 24 hours Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (The Strakk review) 『This review is by Noah, age 5. Strakk is very cool because he can shoot the poke-axe very far and very fast. It's very easy to put in. The only problem I have with Strakk is that his head sometimes falls off. I also really like the ice axe. The ice axe even has spikes at the top. Because of his color, Strakk shines in the light. He's one of my favorite bionicles so far.』
(This is a must-get Glatorian!) 『I got Strakk a few weeks ago at a Walmart, pieced him together and started having a ton of fun with him! I would highly recommend him. If you play the Glatorian shooting game like my friends and I do, which is when the thornax hits your shield, weapon, or thornax launcher, it doesn't count. You'll find that having Strakk playing these rules isn't very nice because he doesn't have a shield. The only problem I have with Strakk is that the piece that holds his head on loves to come off. Strakk's gigantic ice axe is so cool, but it looks a little smaller on the box and is not to scale. The life counter is conveniently placed on his back. The problem I have with most of the Glatorian (especially Skrall) is that the thornax is very hard to get to - not with Strakk. IMO, Strakk is a must-get Glatorian. (a review from my son who's 11)』 『Ruthless and ambitious, Strakk will do whatever he must to be named champion of all Glatorian. His ice axe and spiked Thornax launcher make him a dangerous opponent to turn your back on.』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (not what I expected or hoped to get) 『Unfortunately for this product, I already have a set of MagnetiX (which are hard to find (or too expensive) because of a recall). My daughter wanted more magnets to add to her set. She was limited by the small quantity of MagnetiX we have. When I saw these Magz, I thought they would be great to add to her collection. I should not have assumed they would be the same quality of toy. The Magnets are weaker, the balls are smaller, the bars are thiner but slightly longer and made of cheaper material, and the toy just doesn't seem to be the same quality. I bought these as a Christmas present. Not sure if I will keep them. I can't test them out on my daughter as I don't want to give the surprise away. She may like them, who knows.』
(missing central pieces) 『We had received a smaller set of Magz as a gift and it keeps my 8 year old busy building different structures, so I purchased this mega set because she asked for more pieces. There are 3 types of pieces: straight rods; magnetic balls and fixed "x"s which are used as supports for attachment. This set DOES NOT contain any of those central pieces at all, which severely limits what can be built with it.』
(Great quality. The kids love these!) 『If you are looking for a magnet toy....Mega Magz is the only way to go. We've tried different brands. They are cheap&fall apart&can be dangerous if you have little ones around&the magnet falls out. We ended up throwing them away!! The Mega Magz are comparable in price&seem to last forever. Never have had a magnet fall out or anything break. Had them for several years&just bought more to add to the kids' collection cause they were begging for more. Highly recommend.』
(Mega1) 『Saw it in a friend's house and got one for my son. The kid loves it. Some of the balls are not well made. Still work though.』
(Magz for father and sons) 『I bought this toy to have fun with my son, age 5.
The magnets are very powerful for their size. Grabbing for a few of them at one time is next to impossible as all the pieces try to join in the fun. We bought a box with compartments for sorting the pieces, and while this helps when starting the building process, it takes a long time to separate them out afterwards.
The instructions include a few pictures of structures that can be built, but no step by step instructions. I can't find step by step instructions on the web either, just single images. My son general makes long chains right now. I've figured out how to make most of the structures, but I don't believe I am the target audience.
Some of the pieces survived being "stolen" by a cat, which is good, but it's likely that the balls will eventually be lost based on our experiences -- they sometimes go flying when you try to detach them from the stick magnets.
This toy might be better suited to an older child, perhaps 7+.』 『Mega Magz is the only toy to have for any creative kid! This Magnetic Construction Mega Magz Toy set comes with 130 pieces - 94 bars and 36 balls! Simply connect the magnetic bars and balls to form triangles and let your imagination run wild with this fun learning tool! Learn about magnetic fields and how opposites attract with this fun kid's toy! This construction toy also comes with model ideas that you can start out with, making this science toy another great magnet building toy! Age 6&up Size: 10" x 6 Made in China』
