Great for 2 years old to 30 years old. These remind me of some toys from the 80s. Durable, and functional.

Men Enkelsohn ( viereinhalb Jahre) ist total begeistert, er erfindet wirklich gigantische Bauwerke, seiner Kreativität sind keine Grenzen gesetzt. Und das absolut Beste an dem Bausatz ist, dass er jeden Konstruktionsschritt sofort austesten kann und bei einer Fehlfunktion auf die Fehlersuche geht und so lang tüftelt, bis alles einwandfrei funktioniert.

Give these as gifts and watch your little one's imagination grow. Great fun but also creates an environment to learn logic and analysis skills. More than just turning gears, can build standalone toys such as cars, trains, etc. Whatever they can imagine.

bought it for my classroom to examine gears of different sizes. not many varying sizes, and it took some figuring to figure out how to connect bigger gears to smaller gears -- not entirely intuitive for students. Kids still had lots of fun, product is durable, but lots of small pieces to loose.

I as an adult love the idea of this toy, great colour variety, so many opportunities to be innovative and imaginative. My son however is a follow the instruction, needs an example so i'm sure they have videos on what you can build. It was a no go for my son BUT if you have a builder/creator mindset kiddo these are perfect.

Was a Christmas present to my 5 year old son. Since opening is presents this is the only thing that he has played with and he got a ton of presents I'm seriously telling you. He loves this thing and you know what even as an adult you get into it it's fun. Creating different things different levels you can have the chain you don't have to have a chain he loves it and he spent lots of hours on it already! Super easy to use. If you have super small kids some of these pieces are chokable. Thankfully my son is bigger than that and I only have one.

This was a wonderful gift! It was opened with excitement and wonder. My grandchild spent hours creating various objects!! I watched as her progress grew into more complicated creations. This was well worth the price, and it’s sturdy enough to last for generations.

This is a cool toy for any young budding engineer, builder, or creative!Pros:It can grow with the child. It allows freedom to build whatever you want with the provided pieces, so as you use it more and get older, you can create more and more advanced builds.It's very versatile. It challenges kids to be creative, imagining endless contraptions. And it challenges them to problem solve as they figure out how to make their creations come alive.Can be combined with other sets.Cons:There are some limitations to the number of configurations any single piece can be placed in. Frustrating as a parent to realize at first but certainly may be spun as a challenge to design out of!It can be tricky sometimes to get seemingly snug gears to interact with each other, as in an example where adjacent gears are attached to columns that bend slightly away from each other. Another challenge you can compensate for, so I can't really knock it too much.

I am really impressed with this set. Not all toys have to be educational, but if they are it's best if they are also fun, or they won't get used. As a former mechanical engineer and teacher, I can say this is a fabulous toy that is great fun, and has educational value that will capture the imagination of any young engineer.I remember making huge, complicated, gear-driven windmill machines out of LEGO gears as a kid, and as soon as I saw this set I had to give it a try. The gears here are bigger and chunkier than the LEGO ones, so they are aimed at a younger audience. Our three-year-old (nearly four) niece needs a bit of help right now, but children from four to about fifty-two will love this.The bright colours and packaging make this look like a toddler's toy, but it's really better suited to older children. I'm sure the company's marketing people know more than I do, but I can't help thinking that some of the toy's target audience might be put off.There are loads of gears in the box, a couple of chains which also double as caterpillar tracks, wheels, and blocks to hold it all together. You can buy extra bits too, although if you manage to empty this box, whatever you have built will be enormous! I want to try the set with the dozer blade and wrecking ball though...The original price when I received this set for review was nearly £90, which I thought was a bit high. It's now dropped to £62.99 on Amazon, which is more reasonable, with an RRP of £66. That still seems a lot, but in terms of 'hours per pound', it really isn't. There is a LOT of play potential in this box.The quality of the parts is high, they fit together well and are robust enough to survive an ex-RAF fitter. That says everything!There is a guide manual in the box, which give information on the correct way to match and mesh the gears, and how to assemble the wheels & tyres. It's not a build manual - whatever you make is entirely dependent on your imagination. The Learning Resources website does have downloadable ideas for most of the sets if you need inspiration.Excellent starter set, totally recommended.
