Fabulous set, need a few of them!
Durability: Fun: Educational: This is such a fabulous starter set for Legos. It has all the right "boy" parts in it including airplane propellers, race car steering wheels, etc. This set is very well loved in this house and has built everything from race tracks to helicopters. Great, great fun and provides HOURS of entertainment. If you are getting these for a true Lego afficionado, be sure to pick up a couple of them. It has quite a few pieces but to tru...

OK Place to Start, but You'll Want More
Durability: Fun: Educational: I bought this for my children and to relive my days of playing with Legos in the 1970s. The kids really enjoy playing with them. I like this generic collection of mult-purpose bricks better than the sets that are designed to build one unique item. For the price (normally around twenty five dollars), you get a reasonable amount of stuff. On the down side, there are a lot of the smaller bricks (1 x 2 and 1 x 1). After playing with ...

Toy dollars well spent
Durability: Fun: Educational: No they are not cheap. No the box isn't full to even half capacity. But these toys are still around for a reason: they rock. More specifically, they are indestructible, offer immense replay value, encourage creative quiet and thoughtful play, promote fine motor skill development, and they are just plain fun.
Think about the countless cheap $3.99 and $4.99 soft plastic throw away toys you've bought over the years: invari...

favorite childhood past-time
Durability: Fun: Educational: When I was younger, I remember maticulously building my houses and vehicles. Now with this, I can retrace my steps. My only real dissapointment is that there aren't more pieces in the set. It does come with one set of wheels, two windows and a door, and the "theme" revolves around a vehicle mechanic lego man, so you get a little wrench and oil can etc that the lego man can hold.
As for craftmanship, I noted that s...

Big box is deceiving...
Durability: Fun: Educational: This big "ultimate" lego box looks so big but once you open it and the bags they are in, it ends up being about 1/4 full which is disappointing. It is a good starter set but I think you need at least 2-3 of these boxes to make anything interesting over a few inches.
Update: My daughter likes these legos but has gone back to her trusty duplos since they offer more variety, height and ease of use. I will try and get a...

Lack of building base plate makes set almost useless out of box.
Durability: Fun: Educational: So, with all these hundreds of pieces you get one green base plate of about six sqare inches, which is almost useless, and a few even smaller base plate type pieces, which are indeed useless.
There's plenty of room for a decent size base plate or two, or three or four, but nooooooooooo. If I want a base plate that can actually be used, like one that's ten or fifteen inches on a side, I need to go out and pay extreme am...

Beware the price...
Durability: Fun: Educational: LEGOs are a fantastic toy for a young mind. But it seems I could use some sharpening of my own adult mind. I purchased the Ultimate LEGO Building Set from Amazon and i received it promptly. The problem was i thought i was getting a larger set. It turns out that the exact same set sold for LESS THAN HALF of what i paid for it here on Amazon. By the time i went back to my local store to buy the same item, it was sold out due to the ...

mom
Durability: Fun: Educational: Where are the lego????The nice bin came but 400 pieces only fill up the bin 1/4 full. My children asked where are the rest of the pieces? I am questioning lego strategy with marketing. I see lego as a creative tool I shopped for ever and finially went on line to find a box of plain lego from which my children can decide what to create. Buying online from Canada ment roughly $55 in shipping and duty for a 1/4 full box. Not happy.

Ultimate Lego Building Set
Durability: Fun: Educational: Was disappointed. I bought this for my 2 year old grandson, and I now understand why the price was low. It was not what I expected. Big container, not many pieces.
