Instructions / examples in the accompanying documentation are pathetic at best. The set appears to be well made but trying to get a child started with the set is extremely challenging. They get frustrated trying to get going with it and move to another toy. I had the same experience trying to get it set up to do something that would impress the child. Lots of different gears and connectors but it takes quite a while to sit and figure out how to use them. A small leaflet indicating how to use each of the different components and integrate them into the basic system would greatly simplify and improve this system. I suspect it will eventually be a valued toy but it has a pretty steep learning curve with the current documentation.

My 7 year old nephew couldn’t wait to open this, he loved it and loved that it had a remote control to put his gear set into motion. Great buy!

Really cool because it has the automatic component which is a great add on to the original gears set. As far as I can tell same quality as the original gears, my kid loves these, and it’s really cool to get these different style pieces. We also have a set which allows you to make a tank with wheels and comes with a plastic chain component, highly recommend combining all the sets for endless hours of play.We have a toddler so the stickers end up getting cranky old and mashed and not really utilized but not the products fault.

I received a grant for my 2nd-grade classroom to purchase STEM activities. This was one of the purchases. My students love it! They especially love the remote control piece!I ended up buying one for my grandson who is 7. After playing with the $1000 of activities purchased, this was his favorite; so it became a birthday present!Amazon delivered it to their home and his mom says that he never stops playing with it!

Compré este juguete de piezas porque necesitaba engranajes para fabricar unas máquinas para una escape room.Las llamo Guibe-o-Matic en honor a mi abuelo que inventaba juguetes eléctricos con palillos, cables, y cualquier cosa que encontraba.Las piezas son de colores pero yo las he pintado para darle un aspecto 'menos infantil'.Vienen en la caja (tamaño cubo) un montón, la mayoría del mismo tamaño, bastante resistentes, también unas placas para colocarlas, muelles, luces, pegatinas, un motor con un mando que mueve las piezas en un sentido y otro... casi nada de esto último lo he usado para mis máquinas, pero vino mi sobrina de tres años a casa y se volvió loca con el juguete, y los mayores también jugando con ella. Es divertido y tiene muchas posibilidades de montaje.El envío llego a tiempo y de precio asequible.

Idéal pour construire ensemble à plusieurs enfants et/ou avec un parent. Facile de compréhension, il permet aussi à l'enfant de développer ses facultés de déductions. Les enfants l'adorent... Les engrenages lumineux permette aussi de jouer et tester dans le noir, ce qui ajoute au jeu.Seul bémol : il est un peu bruyant et le moteur peine un peu quand il y a trop d'engrenage.

My 4 year old son was making his own gears out of his Trios, so we decided to buy him this product. I chose this based on the reviews, and I'm glad that we purchased it.Pros: We've had them for over a month and he's played with them for hours. Also, he's come up with some amazing configurations. They are a great opportunity to be creative.Only con: We've found the battery operated remote to be very weak. It might somehow be user error, however, we find that it isn't strong enough to power more than a couple of gears - certainly not enough for anything elaborate. That being said, he doesn't seem to have any idea of what he might be missing, and not using this component has not deminished his enjoyment of the gears.I would definitely purchase this for him again.

I researched this from every angle and every distributor. My grandson was turning 4 and his sister 2 1/2. I ordered both the basic 150 and the Lights, Action one which says 5 yr. old. Both kids love it; so do their parents! They are building,learning.. I can see the 4 yr. old's eyes light up and another idea is tried and another discovery made, etc. It's amazing what the kids can make and both are so fascinated with it, they never argue over parts. I am really impressed with the colorful, sturdy boxes to store their gears in. Good job! I will be ordering more as I realized the different sets interact with each other! Excellent! Encourages creativity; makes them smile and take delight in their own selves; the parts are perfectly sized for toddlers.

This birthday present has delivered a fair amount of fun so far and my granddaughter (just turned 7) enjoyed building her first creation, but I question a couple of things. As a newly self-proclaimed tomboy :) she insisted on presents a boy would like, and I hoped this would fit the bill. She's not had the basic gear set but I hoped she'd be successful with this one and would be especially motivated because of the motorized action and lights. The set comes in a nice barrel shaped tub which makes clean up fairly easy and storage super. The tub is plenty big enough to hold all the pieces without a problem, however you do have to take apart the base to fit those pieces in. We may have just gotten a set with extra tough fasteners, but putting those flat squares together to form the base was REALLY hard. They didn't want to slide together or be pushed together and I ended up with a few bruises for my efforts (very forceful pushing), but eventually got them to fit together.The kids (big brother helped just a little) then set to figuring out how to get the gear pieces to interlock so that they turned one another in multiple directions. After a few false starts they had success and developed a fairly elaborate setup that would go both forward and backward with the motorized control and the lights flashed appropriately (and were greatly enjoyed). They were very pleased with their creation, but then disassembled it and put the pieces back in the tub. I wonder if it will be sought out for play again. So far, it hasn't.I think that for children who love building and are always looking for another way to satisfy that urge, plus are reasonably handy with interlocking pieces, this set is a good choice. It offers the opportunity for imaginative play and repeated use for the right child. On the other hand, it may be a one-trick wonder for children who don't have that natural need to build and rebuild.

As far as 'building toys' go, this is a great one! My 3 yr old can lay them out on all the base pieces while the 5 yr old can build towers. Our 'remote' broke not so long after we got it which was annoying. Even when it worked, you couldn't hook it up to too large of a structure b/c the little motor wasn't strong enough to turn them. The kids REALLY enjoyed the blinking lights, but the glow in the dark stickers are silly. They're just nice decorations, they don't actually 'glow' very much at all. Overall, I recco this toy the kids really do enjoy building with it!
