Lego starwars B-wing fighter

Advantages: Lego, star wars, price, fun factor collector or to play with
Disadvantages: None

...set. But to my great happiness Lego had created star wars sets, I was happy to say the least and with my birthday money was overjoyed until I saw the range of prices, from 1.99 to 249 pounds and 99 p. Having 30 quid somewhat limited my options but hey! It was a gift and one which allowed me something that I would greatly enjoy, granted I would build it then take it apart and place it back in the box just knowing I had one. Also taking great care in opening and handling the box because that’s the way I am, weird you may say, but after some lengthy searches on the net I found there wasn’t much variance in price so I opted to get mine right away at my local toys r us. I paid 24.99 for the B-wing fighter, which I found, was the going rate and the only going rate at that. To my horror and the glee of my wife when I got...

Review of Lego Star Wars Classic A-Wing Fighter

Tis the Season to Play Lego

Advantages: It's Lego!!
Disadvantages: Not Cheap!!

...Continuing on my quest to review all things Christmassy, here I am with Advent review number 2. So with my deepest apologies to all those bah humbuggers out there, may I invite you back to Beckie's grotto. Why don't you pull up a chair, help yourself to a glass of warm mulled wine, and a mince pie (Marks and Spencers with a dusting of icing sugar to make them look homemade). 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...

Review of Lego City Advent Calendar

Lego - 'let's you go'.

Advantages: See text.
Disadvantages: See text.

...I would just like to write a review on the benefits and/ or the downfalls of Lego, something that even at the age of 26 I do still enjoy playing with with my brother's four children - any comments, you will get a slap! Lego are those small little bricks that no doubt will have played a part in the life of any child, at some point during their early lives. It is something that has been around for many years, as my two older brothers (being 36 and 38) both also used to play with it themselves along with their own friends - in fact, most of mine was hand downs from them! There are many different bricks used in Lego, from rectangular bricks through to doors; windows; wheels, and even the bases on which to build your masterpieces on too have shown at the Tate Modern! In my opinion, Lego is an excellent way of encouraging a child...

Review of Lego Spongebob 3834: Good Neighbours At Bikini Bottom

Lego Lego Lego

Advantages: Great learing and never goes out of fashion
Disadvantages: can be expensive

...Lego Lego Lego, I love it. When I was a child it was the only thing I would ever play with. I owned a big box of it and I would dissaper into my bedroom for hours making houses to play pretend, I would see how high I could build a tower up the wall, make cars and casltes. This never failed to amuse me. my son has never been the building type so I never bought him any he would much prefer to be destructive. So when I met my current partner it was great his son loved lego it made it so much easier for me and him to relate to each other too we would spend hours building things and using our imagination. Lego has come along since I was a little girl they now make real looking cars, star wars figures, Indian Jones and much more. This is one of the main presants that my step son has every year due to each year they bring out another...

Review of Lego

Create with Lego.

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...

Review of Lego Creator: Brick Box

Lego City Police Station - 7744 - Great addition to lego fans!

Advantages: Assembly in stages, easy to follow for older children/adults
Disadvantages: Base a bit floppy for moving the police station around

...My son got this Lego City Police Station for his 8th birthday. We paid £48.89 from Argos for it. It took me and my husband quite a while to help my son build it. But the end result was great. It comes in one box. Within the box are smaller bags. All the bags are numbered and all have a booklet inside for the particular part of the police station/vehicle. None of the items were missing, there were a few bits over though, which come in handy for the lego box! It is really easy to follow (for an adult), but I don't think my 8 year old would have had the knowledge or patience to build it himself. Some children his age probably could, but I'd say any child would probably need a bit of help from an adult. I think it's quite nice to have adult and child building something together anyway, so this isn't a disadvantage in my eyes! My...

Review of Lego Police: Police Station

We love Lego!

Advantages: Everything!
Disadvantages: Nothing!

...My four year old absolutely loves this product. We built the house together and he had hours of fun role playing different situations with it. The great thing is that you can then break it up and build other creations with it. We have built a bungalow, a shed, a garage and even a fire station. There is no end to the possibilities of things to build. Even though my son is quite young to buil it on his own, we love building it together. We now have 'Lego Time' every night when my baby daughter is in bed- it is a great chance to play together and bond. He loves our time building Lego. In fact he is up in his room building something now, while i write this!...

Review of Lego Creator: House

Lego NXT Mania

Advantages: Its very educational and fun for kids and adults too
Disadvantages: Its a bit complex for those not into Lego, bluethooth problems

...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. I have to say that for me this was the only way it would really be afforded. I am a regular eBayer and so I was more than happy with this type of purchase. The item was bough for my little boy who is just six. He had been looking at it for a long time, he is really into lego and robotics. The item is actually for an older age group 10+. But he is able to work away on the instructions with supervision. Building the robots is fine for him but he has some problems with the programming language. This is an age cognitive thing and he will pick it up. We have built two stock designs and they have worked well. We are working...

Review of Lego Mindstorms NXT

lovely lego

Advantages: good
Disadvantages: none

...Stuck for a pressie to buy a child? Why not buy some Lego/Duplo? Lego has been around since I was a baby starting in a carpenters shop in Denmark. In 1949 plastic bricks were produced the forerunner of Lego and in 1954, (the year I was born) the name Lego was registered LEGO name derived from Danish Leg GOdt play well. Lego has developed a lot from the simple sets when I was a child to magnificent sets enabling a child to build all his/her dreams. Kits to build house, cars, farms, zoos, playgrounds, trains, roads, and many more. LEGO produces Duplo a building brick set for small fingers suitable for children 2 upwards. These are bricks we use at work, finding them good to encourage manual dexterity fairly easy to put together. In good bright colours, and a variety of shapes and designs. The next stage of smaller...
