Lego Mindstorms NXT This was bought on eBay, the UK site. The item was new and unused. All of the bags were unopened. It cost £110 which was a considerable saving on the high street price.

The item was bough for my little boy who is just six. He had been looking at it for a long ...

Advantages: Its size
Disadvantages: None

...He uses it to transport Lego up and down our landing! He also uses it to transport small Lego vechicles and constructions. Once built it is an impressive size, bigger than most Lego vehicles. There are two containers and each one lifts as well as fixing to the base when necessary, e.g. when the truck is on the move. It is really good that they lift up, as it means your child can help it to tip its load. My son has hours of fun loading and unloading ...
...extra container attached, it is an impressive 50cm long- needless to say my sons friends were fighting over it when they came over. The cab is large- it even has two windscreens. The included Lego man can fit inside the cab, enabling him to drive it. Great fun! ... Read review

Advantages: Drum turns round
Disadvantages: None

...might know from my other Lego reviews( I sometimes think I must buy it for him because i love helping him build it!!)- I think this is one of the best. It looks very realistic- those people at Lego are very clever! The cement mixer is a lovely eye catching blue colour- the stickers add to its look. The drum turns round and round, allowing your child to mix up th included cement. It comes with a Lego man, dressed as a builder, with a hat that can ...
...hose- the Lego man can hold this, enabling him to direct the cement where it is needed. The cement pieces don't actually come through the hose, but Lego is all about building and imagination! The Lego man fits inside the cab, so he can drive to and from the building site. My son built him a house to live in with his other Lego- it really caught his imagination! It measure 18cm long. I bought it for £12.99. It really is a very smart vechicle- a ... Read review
