Building Set Reviews

thi set is awesom.it comes with 2 battle droids and 2 geanosians. a ship and a cannon. Bad: this ship sometimes losses one of its fragile bottom sections.Good: this ship is fun and is a great addition to any star wars lego collection!

This toy is the most powerful vehicle next to the Hailfire droid and that giant ball thing in the movie, well thats all the Geonosian had to battle, next to the droids. It is more versitile than the Jedi Starfighter, although only one cannon on it, it makes it up with its speed. They are powerful when attacking in packs, like when Aniken in was in the Republic Gunship, 2 of the Geonosian fighters shot the ship down as soon as Aniken got out. This lego set is kind of unstable, but I would highly recomend it to anyone.

This set is perfect to go along with the Count Dooku speeder bike from jedi duel, and to go with the republic gunship. The cannon and engine pieces are cool. they are the same ones as the gun pieces from the AT-TE.

My daughther is 4 years old and loves to play with the castle.
I have not much to add to what previous reviewers said -I mostly concurr. However I wanted to share my experience with putting the castle together: It took 3 adults 2 hours to put it together. The instructions are done well - it is just a lot of work (a lot of small parts: connectors and decorations). Plan ahead if you're buying it. It is a great toy!.

I grew up with the Playmobil Victorian dollhouse, and only recently did I start collecting other Playmobil sets. I bought this Fairy Tale Castle about a month ago and had the greatest time putting it together. The assembly directions include another building variation that seems to be a little more spacious, if you're planning to fit all the furniture sets in. Unlike the victorian dollhouse, this one is totally sturdy. I've moved it several times with no problem. And the accesory sets are incredible.

I recommend getting this item from Amazon.com while they have free shipping in the States. I have had problems finding toys by this company in every toy store I've been to, and having it shipped directly from Europe is extremely pricey!!

Playmobils are the best toys, they are sturdy, creative, and keep my girls busy for hours. The Fairy Tale Castle is beautiful, pinks and purple, graceful arches, and stunning cutwork windows. It looks like a castle from the Arabian Knights. The people have delicate decorations on their clothes. The furniture is very realistic and fancy, fit for a castle. We have all the room sets, and a few extras from the other castle, a fairy tale castle needs a Dragon and a Unicorn!

I bought this for my cat, who loves boxes and I wanted to something attractive that I could reconfigure on whim. He thinks they're fun, but I, a 40 something person, adore them. I love trying to figure out new configurations. I'm now saving up for more, but am afraid my house will end up being decorated in "coolblox"!

CoolBlox is awesome! Every parent should buy a kit for their children for Christmas. I have 2 daughters who love it. It teaches them how to build and use their imagination. They play together for hours. With the soft texture I dont even have to worry about them getting hurt if they throw them at each other!

My three kids love this kit & play happily for hours with this
toy.
I will buy a larger kit so their friends can build as well.
I don't have to worry about them putting small pieces like
Lego in their mouths.
They are soft & no one gets hurt when they throw them around.
I like the fact that they use their imagination,as well as
having pictures to follow if they want to.
My chidren are 5,8,10yrs.old.
They are durable & soft.
I would definitely recommend Coolblox.

This is my favorite Rahkasi! I like him because he can make things shatter. The only thing, is that I don't like how their legs keep coming off. I am 7 yers old, and was able to put it together by myself, using the instructions.

Another GREAT Bionicle villian. This one's got it all.

Bendable at the knees! A new advancement in LEGO Bionicle toy technology. This set is a great deal of fun for a LONG LONG LONG time! I recived mine on June 9th and it still has suprizes!

Worth your time, and money? ABSOULOUTLEY! Rating Overall: *****

..., this is Panrahk , the "Explosive Fragmentor" , he is one off the six sons of Makuta , the main villian in the Bionicle storyline , the Rahkshi's mission : Find the seventh toa (Takanuva : Toa of Light) and destroy him! Panrahk is one of the more unpredictable Rahkshi , one minute he could be lost in the hunt for Takanuva and the other six Toa Nuva , and the next minute he may attacking anything in sight! His staff has the power to shatter anything in its path! He is so powerful , that when he wlaks, little explosions occur! His Kraata type , Kraata Xi , is the tan adn brown Kraata , I got a level 3 Kraata Xi (Check to booklets on the backs of Rahkshi sets , the lowest kraata on the spectrum is level one , the highest is level six , but the TRUE highest is the Shadow Kraata , level Seven , but that wont be in kits :( ) Overall , he is SUPER POSEABLE , VERY COOL , FUN TO PLAY WITH , and shows that THE RAHKSHI ARE THE BEST SETS IN THE LEGO BIONICLE LINE SO FAR . Now , if you'll excuse me, IM saving up for Takanuva (the 7th toa) , the new Makuta set (YAY!) and all the new Matoran!

Star Wars mini vehicles allow users to create vast scenes from the movies without spending thousands of dollars. Each new model has at least one special piece so that you won't be able to duplicate it exactly by using other pieces in your collection.

The AT-AT is a really cool looking model. You can create a whole herd of the for the price of just one of the larger version.

The companion Snow Speeder is ok but is way off scale.

The directions are standard Lego format and are easy to follow. The final construction is solid. Parts of this model can be combined with other mini vehicles to create a Y-Wing (don't worry, those pieces come from the Snow Speeder).

All in all, very nicely done.

A friend threw this, as well as a mini Millenium Falcon Lego set at me as an early Christmas gift. After I gave 'em a quick glance, I turned to him and asked, "What d'ya think I am, a freakin' ten-year-old?"

He replied, "Perhaps not in the physical sense, but it's glaringly obvious you're not even up to that age maturity-wise."

"You know, you've got a point there", I grudgingly admitted.

So I went home, opened the sets up, and spent a good twenty minutes assembling both of them. Out of the pair my friend gave me, I'm definitely diggin' the mini AT-AT more. Not only does it bear a reasonably close resemblance to the real deal, it also sports some really goofy legs. Each limb is articulated in three places (at the "hip", and double-jointed upper & lower "knees"), and will stay in place when posed in a certain manner thanks to little ratchet thingies that mesh together when the leg pieces are clicked in place. Thanks to these joints, I can pose this little contraption of gray plastic bricks into the kinds of walking/running stances that would make the director of the Ministry of Silly Walks (anyone get this` reference? Um... hello...?) green with envy! I've even managed to get it to stand on its hind legs and "beg" like the family dog at the dinner table, or do the sleepwalk / zombie stance! Its neck also sports a ratchet-jointed connection point near the "shoulders". Sadly, the head can only move down and up, not side to side.

I'm also struck by how... *glurk*... CUTE... the thing looks. This mini walker looks more like some kinda mechanical puppy dog to me than a dreaded juggernaut of destruction and conquest. Speaking of puppies: if you own the large Lego AT-AT, you could buy a couple of these smaller ones, assemble them, place 'em around the large one, and voila-- an AT-AT mommy and her young! Can't wait for Steve Irwin to do a special on THAT wildlife, heh...

Ooops, gotta cut this short-- the orderly's telling me it's time for me to take my "happy pills". But before I go, I highly recommend this particular mini Lego kit for any Star Wars fanboy who's too lazy to build and detail a proper model, and/or is strapped for space in the basement dwelling he's fashioned under his parents' house. So until next time...

...'Late

Have you seen any of these? They must be the cutest of any Star Wars Lego ever made. And for something so small the details are great. The best part is that you do not need a lot of space to display many of them. The worst part is wishing to buy them all.

They are very simple to put together so for a child it would not be difficult. And they are fun to play with. (Warning: Very Small Parts)

For an adult, especially for a collector, this is a must buy. My cousin has a big display of these mini Lego and they look even cooler than my other cousins Limited Edition Star Wars Lego Collection; and that's saying a lot.

Lego toys are very, very durable (as long as you do not lose any parts), very educational and if you add fun you have a great toy.

If you are interested in playing with them or collecting them you will not regret purchasing this great item.

Mega Bloks makes several sizes of blocks -- "Baby" (for very small children), "Maxi" (for toddlers), "Mega" (fits Lego Duplo), and "Micro" (fits regular Lego). This product is a big bucketful of Micro Mega Bloks -- essentially, you get a big pile of Lego-equivalent, at a very reasonable price.

I've read over and over that Lego is supposedly superior to Mega Blok products because of the "fit," but I've tried connecting these Mega Bloks to each other, then to regular Lego, and comparing it to Lego-with-Lego. Unless you're a die-hard Lego afficionado, there just isn't that big a difference, folks. I'm sure the average 4-year-old building whatever his/her imagination dictates will not see a difference.

The bottom line? A good product at a good price.

Firstly, unlike what the other reviewer stated, these blocks are NOT bigger than Legos. They are the same size, just 1/2 the price. They are awesome. I purchased a few of these to add some of the more common shapes to my Lego collection. The little guy that comes with it is not as nice as the Lego men, but every other peice is nearly identical. Even the colors match almost exactly. Buy these to expand your collection, but it does not come with wheels or many other extra parts, so be sure to get some other kits.

Blocks are a kid must-have. Even the most paranoid parent (like my Mom, who refused to get me an Easy Bake Oven or Lite-Brite for ever-loving fear of burning myself) will get their kids blocks. This particular brand is like Legos, but better. They're HUGE, which makes them easy for younger kids to fit together. Their larger size also makes it impossible for babies to swallow. All 3 of my kids (ages 5, 4 and 13 months) play with these blocks together. My 4 year old knocked my socks off when he produced an "airplane" he'd made with them simply by looking at the side of the label. Educational? You bet. What else can you get for next to no money that sparks your child's imagination more than some sort of building blocks? These just happen to be my favorite. Oh- and they are VERY durable.

My son loves this toy I think he would build a whole house out of them if he could. I hope they come out with more sets in the future.

I have two children ages 7 and 10. They love building it. It promotes teamwork; its soft, durable and they can throw it at each other without getting hurt. One child suffers from asthma,m but this is non allergenic so it's a wonderful toy and I highly highly recommend it to anyone.

These are great. My 10-year-old son got a set and has played with them a lot. They are very durable and very strong. Easy to make a lot of designs and encourages creativity. He also got some for his friend's birthday. Good stuff!

My sons age 3 and 4 received this as a gift and I was surprised by how much they love this. Their imaginations ran wild with these magnets. They have kept themselves busy for hours playing with the magnets-they have found many uses beyond building with them. The only problem was that we needed to buy a bigger set because this small set does not have enough pieces for both of them to build the things that they want. Definitely worth the money!!!

This set has all sorts of hidden weapons on it. One of the droids has 4 samurai swords, you can use the torches as spiky staff, Jabba can be used as a giant man-eating slug, and if this is your first big lego base, arm Luke and Leia each with 2 samurai swords. Other than that, this is an all around good base.

This is a fun little playset. It's a little more reminiscent of the Harry Potter sets than it is typical Star Wars fare (i.e. playset vs. model), but it's still not disappointing. Well... to be honest... I have two small complaints. In order to TOTALLY COMPLETE this set, you also need to buy "Jabba's Prize" and "Jabba's Message". Sneaky, George, sneaky. (Or is that the Lego company being sneaky? Heh heh)

And then, below the actual working trapdoor, the playset opens up to reveal... a big empty space devoid of a Rancor. So, Luke falls through the trap door, but what's gonna try to eat him?

If they come out with another set called "Jabba's Rancor" (or "Jabba's Big Nast Pet"), first I'll scream... then I'll probably buy it.

Sigh.

Other than the hilarious take on the Slave Leia minifigure (you've never seen Leia like THIS), this set also includes Luke (in mysterious black, Emperor-like robe), a "Gonk" Droid, a Bo'marr monk spider/droid, the supervisor droid, and of course, Jabba himself in all his plastic, non-CGI glory.

Oh, just buy it and build your own Rancor!

First, George Lucas finally allows Kenner to give us Slave Leia in a 3 3/4 inch fig and now he's allowed Lego to do it. Although it is not actually possible for a Lego figure to be sexy, the effect is...well...appreciated? This almost makes up for Episodes 1 and 2 being so awful...
