The Erector Set comes with a handy carrying case. Not only does it help your child organize the many small pieces of their set, it allows them to take the set with them on the go. The instructions are helpful and clear, showing in detail how to build the models, and stating clearly what pieces are needed before your child gets started. Please note, however, that there are no text directions, only illustrations. The plastic pieces can feel flimsy at times, but children testing the toy didn't seem to mind and played for hours.
A Classic Toy Lives On
Kids can build up to 15 different models using the illustrated instructions, or they branch out with their own creations. From planes to cranes to helicopters, there is so much that can be built with the 643 nuts, bolts, wheels, screws, and metal pieces that come with this set. A six-volt battery-powered motor makes the models come alive.
The sheer number of parts may seem overwhelming, but the compartmentalized case will help kids stay organized. Teenagers should have no problem building on their own, but younger kids might need some supervision and help, especially since the directions include no explanatory text -- just illustrations.
What's in the Box
Erector set with 643 parts, six-volt battery-operated motor (batteries not included), illustrated directions, and storage case.

| 64 of 64 people found the following review helpful  Still an awesome toy, By 45 of 48 people found the following review helpful  This Item Is Totally AWSOME!!, A Kid's Review This toy is so cool. The day I got it I opened it up to find tons of pieces and instructions. I spent a lot of time just building the models that were in my head. This is sooo cool. If you buy this, you are NOT wasting you'r money. 27 of 27 people found the following review helpful Brings back memories, By JD (Phoenix, AZ) - See all my reviews = Durability: = Fun: = Educational: Amazon Verified Purchase My son loves to build things. He has a huge Lego collection but I thought it was time to take it up a notch to a more intricate construction set. After researching a number of construction sets, I decided on the good 'ol Erector set. I had one as a boy and my dad had one when he was little. I'm glad I went with the Special Edition because it comes with detailed instructions to build about 15 or 17 different structures. Many other Erector set kits only have one design, such as a race car or train. I'm not saying they wouldn't add educational value but once it's built, it's built. The whole point is to find a toy which can be used over and over again. The Special Edition does just that. My 9-year old son loves it. In fact, my 7-year old daughter plays with it too and I'm happy about that. I think the eye-hand coordination, thought process to intrepret instructions, and the spatial thinking needed to understand how the parts go together benefits all who play with it. I'd like to see...

| 14 of 14 people found the following review helpful A big bridge for big boys (3 yo+) with lots of LEGO Duplo trains, By Babah (Southwest USA) - See all my reviews = Durability: = Fun: = Educational: This review is from: LEGO DUPLO Lego Ville Bridge (Toy) OK, others provided reviews of the fun. I want to provide additional useful information in my review.First, I selected the LEGO Duplo trains for our son because they are very high quality and not as expensive as other wooden push trains. And of course, they work with everything else that is LEGO, making the value so much greater. He can mix and match pieces from all his other LEGO Duplo stuff. The bridge looks impressive and it is big for a toddler toy. Be sure you have enough track and floor space to make this work well for you. If you only buy this bridge and a Duplo train set, you may not have enough track. Consider buying several boxes of LEGO Duplo 2734 straight track and at least one... Read more 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful Excellent addition to duplo train sets, By Karen (New York) - See all my reviews = Durability: = Fun: = Educational: This review is from: LEGO DUPLO Lego Ville Bridge (Toy) The bridge is an excellent addition to our duplo train set. Both our children - nearly two and three - squeal with delight when the train comes over the bridge. I think the product is not available in the US at the moment - it is available overseas - but I hope that Lego in the US will bring it in again. It is alot of fun. Hint - cut out the picture of the train from the box so you can remember how to put it together (there are no instructions in the box). 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful Hurray for Lego Duplo Trains!, By Travelin' (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews = Durability: = Fun: = Educational: Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: LEGO DUPLO Lego Ville Bridge (Toy) There is nothing more exciting than putting the Lego Duplo Thomas series together with my 2.5 year old. The bridge is a bit complicated to figure out at the beginning but it helps to keep the box for a few days to look at the picture. Now we can put it together in no time. It not only lets him practice hand-eye coordination but teaches him how three dimensional objects fit together. Great toy, especially when you have other parts of the Thomas series to add on to it. |
