Lego Creator: Big Rig

Advantages: Good building toy
Disadvantages: little pieces hurt when you stand on them :-{ ouch

...The Lego creator box 6161 is a great starter, or continuation box. At the Lego shop http://shop.lego.com/Product/?p=6161 this toy costs £9.91. I suspect in the Amazon add they have got the wrong picture and number of the box with the price 19.99 the bigger box number 6166 costs 19.99p, The Lego comes in a sturdy deep rectangular blue box with a lid. I know from experience what an advantage it is to have a good sturdy box to keep Lego in. It keeps all the Lego together in one place. Keeps Lego away tidily. The card boxes break fairly easily. Much easier to have a big tub for your child to put all the Lego pieces in. Remember do encorage your child to pick them all up they are painful to stand on with bare feet. Lego is easy to clean just a wash in hot soapy water Now in this blue creator Lego box is an assortment of 221 Lego... Read review

This year, as always, my children have been well and truly spoilt by their Grandparents. In a departure from traditional or even chocolate Advent calendars they have both been given rather posh Advent calendars. Shortie has a Playmobil one, and big brother "Small Fry" (aged 7 and a half!) has a Lego Advent calendar. When I was little I always had an Advent calendar to count down the days to Christmas, but mine were cardboard and had little pictures of robins... Read review

Advantages: Great selection of bricks
Disadvantages: None

...This super Lego selection come in a great storage box, perfect if you ever want to see your child's bedroom carpet again! If my son tips all the Lego out, we often use the lid to scoop it all back into the box. There are lots of different coloured bricks, including doors, windows and roof tiles. My son has built allsorts with this- bugalows, sheds, fire stations, houses, shops, walls, parks, playhouses, trees and much much more. Every night we have 'Lego Time' when my baby daughter is in bed- its a greta chance to bond. This Lego box means whatever my son suggests we build, we,ve got the lego pieces to do it. It is a great box to start your child's lego passion going.... Read review
