Summary: Best toy this Christmas
Comment: This is a well built and well designed set. Our 11 year old found it captivating and able to do as advertised. In a day and age when quality and durability is most generally overlooked, it is nice to find a company that emphasizes both and delivers it well.

Summary: Educational and Fun
Comment: I work for an industrial electronics repair company and my 8 year old has visited me at work many times. He is fascinated by the types of equipment that we have at our facility for repair and has asked me tons of questions to which I don't have the answers (I am not a technician). I ordered this set for him as a Christmas gift since I knew it was something that would interest him, but it was not something that he had asked for. After the dust settled under the tree, imagine my surprise when it was the first gift he opened to play with. He very quickly built the "flying saucer" and the "space war" models. The instructions are fantastic- in color and easy to follow with explanations for each model. And the number of models and variations that can be built with this set will keep him busy for quite some time. He hasn't even had it a week and has played with it 4 or 5 times already. I am also impressed with the quality of this set. The parts seem to be durable and should stand up to the demands of a very curious 8 year old.
As for the educational/learning value of this set, I can honestly say that he has truly learned something from playing with it and I think he is very proud of what he has learned. Today he went with me to my office and he started up a conversation with one of the technicians (who was in the process of repairing a large circuit board) about circuit boards, resistors, jumper cords - all items at the technician's station, that he had just learned about with this set. Fantastic!!

Summary: Great fun for my nephew
Comment: My nephew is a curious and inventive 9 year old kid who has spent a lot of his time (according to his mother) building the gimmicks in the set.
I will surely buy him a bigger more challenging one as he grows older.
Very entertaining !

Summary: My son loves this...
Comment: My 5 year old got this for Christmas from his grandparents. He loves to sit and build all sorts of stuff so grandparents thought he might like to build something that has an end result... they were right. Because of his age, he did need a bit of help getting started, but has done a few of the projects on his own already. Great gift for children who can sit, follow written directions and work well with their hands...

Summary: Educational and FUN!
Comment: Our 8 year old son wanted a build a robot kit for Christmas, so we got him this to learn the basics of electronics and circuit boards. It has been so much fun for him. It did take some one-on-one time to get him started the first day. But now he is building things on his own, by following the step by step manual. He has loved this, and it is really teaching him the basics that he needs to know. Very well made, good quality for the price! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
