Lego Creator - Mini Animals But Mega Fun!

Advantages: Can make three different animals, not expensive
Disadvantages: mostly brown coloured blocks

...I bought this Lego set for my boyfriend for valentines day. I thought it was really cute because you can make three different mini animals with the lego - a monkey, a duck and a dinosaur (or lizard-type thing!) You can only make one of the animals at a time, there are not enough lego pieces in the set to make more than one. This Lego set is from the 'Lego Creator' range, which are meant to be creative and imaginative designs for children (though *I* personally think they suit any age!) The Lego comes in a plastic silver box with a yellow lid which is rectangular in shape. There is a picture on the front of the box with the different animals you can make. The lid easily pops on and off the box and it means that you can keep the instructions and the left over spare Lego parts safe and secure. There is an easy to follow instruction...

Review of Lego Creator: Mini Animals

Mini flying with Lego

Advantages: good Lego addition
Disadvantages: none

...When my grandson visited us he brought some Lego with him. He had the Lego Creator LEGO Mini Flyers LEGO 4918 set with him. This is a Lego kit in a pocket sized plastic container. There are not very many Lego pieces in this set but enough to make a airplane model and then when he?s built this zoomed it around in the air a few times he can take it to bits and build a different model. This kit contains bricks that will make 3 different models. Not all the bricks are used for each individual model. Inside the container is a sheet of paper with the instructions for building these models. My grandson aged 6 found it fairly easy to follow the instructions. Each model took him nearly ½ hour to complete. I thought this set rather good the model not too big containing lots of bricks, something a child could complete in ½ hour. I...

Review of Lego Creator: Mini Flyers

Great creations

Advantages: educational & fun
Disadvantages: very small parts, could be easily lost.

...My son was given this mini construction set for Easter. At first I was a little dubious, the age on the pack is 6-12, my son is only four and the pieces are much smaller than the duplo lego he is used to. However, he is digger mad so we decided to build it and see how difficult it is. The grey box is sturdy plastic, covered in a green sticker with a clear picture of the digger on the front. The back has smaller pictures of the other two vehicles which can be constructed. The lid is green plastic and not very easy for kids to open, but nice and secure so your child can take it out with them. The age is clearly noted on the front and there is a warning on the back that it is not intended for under 3's, due to the small parts. Inside, the contents pack is suprisingly small (the box could have been a bit smaller) and wrapped in...

Review of Lego Creator: Mini Construction

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: Creative Building

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!...

LEGO BRICK BOX 6161 FOR CREATIVE LITTLE MINDS

Advantages: GET THOSE CREATIVE JUICES FLOWING
Disadvantages: PIECES CAN BE EASILY LOST

...and also provides a website address for Lego if you require more information. www.lego.com The box itself contains a variety of different sized pieces 221 in all. They are all in different colours and shapes. To include little Lego men and animal pieces so a simple introduction to the world of Lego enabling the creation of fun Lego scenes. There is also a handy accompanying book which contains fifteen ideas for building things with this particular kit. It also provides instructions for how to make three of these ideas. My son really seemed to enjoy this tub as he decided to play with it as soon as we got it home. He looked at the instruction book and within a matter of a few minutes had made some of the items featured. He then progressed to making the entire scene on the front of the box. This developed into him creating his own construction...

Review of Lego Creator: Brick Box

Oh dear....more destruction than construction - a lego "miss"...

Advantages: if you like dozers you will like this
Disadvantages: poor design

...This is a new release from Lego in the City range, and is priced at about the £20 mark, though I was able to buy it for £14.99 from Tesco Homeplus, which seemed like a good price for a set with 352 pieces and 100 stage construction. I have to say straight away that having made and played with this set, our family verdict on this bulldozer is "disappointing". We really wanted to like this bulldozer but it had a number of problems. What's good? To start with the positive, in the box you get a good range of pieces, including a mini-figure and also some technics pieces to make the tread for the tyres. The instruction book is quite daunting at first, but they have broken it down into 3 stages of construction and all the pieces are in three bags, which is a good idea as you don't have to sort through lots of little bits...

Review of Lego City 8401: Minifigure Collection

Lego Belville Advent Calendar

Advantages: So much fun! Looks so cute. Unique and different
Disadvantages: Just for girls! Maybe not as Christmas themed as could be

...this calendar was that it was like getting a mini Christmas present everyday leading up to Christmas day (which is very exciting for me because I absolutely love Christmas!) I was quite disappointed with a few of the gifts inside the calendar. I found there was a lack on gifts you got where you had to build them yourself. A lot of the gifts were ready made. The figures that are in Belville don't resemble the normal Lego figures. Instead they were made of smooth plastic which you couldn't take apart and they were non-articulated. Some of the gifts were not very Christmassy, I guess this is good since you can have them out all year round, but I was expecting a very Christmas themed calendar where all of the gifts were something to do with Christmas (but don't get me wrong, I really loved the presents!) I think that the toys that you...
