Cheapest LEGO Space Police Galactic Enforcer (5974)
This Space Police Enforcer is overall a great lego. However, like most of the larger lego toys, once you complete assembly, they do not "hold together" very tightly and often fall apart when you try to move them.
Overall, it is a great toy. My son saved his Christmas money to buy this and has really enjoyed playing with it in smaller ships. The large ship will not hold together long enough for him to allow it to fly. Price wise, I would hope for the money spent on the toy, lego would make them stay snapped together better. Maybe if the price of it was about $30 less it would ease the pain of it falling apart.

Discount LEGO 4+ Basic Bulk Set
Our grandsons, ages 4 and 6, love Legos, but up til now only had the kits that make something. Once they make it they don't want to take it apart -- so it becomes like a model airplane or something, on the shelf. This set was large, lots of blocks, lots of sizes and all the colors. We supplemented with a base to build on and some axles and wheels, and some people from the Lego store. The creativity has been nonstop. Of course, they still have a fit when something collapses and falls apart, but coping is an important skill too.Get more detail about LEGO 4+ Basic Bulk Set.

Low Price LEGO Space Police Squidman's Escape (5969)

Bought this about a week ago, it's a pretty nice Space Police set remaniscent of the older ones from the '80s and '90s (which some of the new Space Police sets are).
The small hovercycle is an easy build with few, easy to place stickers. It has a couple features that are below-basic, but has a lot of potential for imaginative play.
The police officer is nice looking with silver painted glasses (if he looks familiar, it's because he uses the same head from a minifig in the Agents theme) and even has a two-sided head showing either a confident or frightened face. The wanted criminal, Squidman is also nice looking (for a bug-eyed alien). He even has a nice red cape. The only other accessory is a one-hundred dollar bill.
For about $6 (the one shown here may be overpriced, I'd suggest trying your local stores first) this is a nice starter for getting into the new Space Police theme or as a small gift for a LEGO lover you know.Get more detail about LEGO Space Police Squidman's Escape (5969).
Lowest Price LEGO Star Wars Anakin's Jedi Starfighter
Star Wars Anakin's Jedi Starfighter was one of two that my grandson wanted for his 7th birthday. I was able to find this one so I purchased it and sent it off to them in Illinois. Today,February 26,2010 is his big day and when I called my daughter and her husband and the kids early this A.M. he was too busy playing with it to come to the phone. It was a hit, but then, what boy and many girls don't love Legos's. Even his younger brother has a list, alas one of his is the $500. Bicentennial set so that's a bit out there for me.
Today, as my grandsons birthday surprise they're off from the suburbs to downtown Chicago to The Planetarium and where else? but of course, THE LEGO STORE, where they also went last summer. What a wonderful birthday this will be for him and his younger brother. Next grandsons birthday is 4.10.10 and so there will be more Legos headed his way.. Oh, and I forgot, I'm flying out 3.8.10 for a week and will of course have lego surprises in my suitcases.. Wish I still had all my now grown son's Lego's for the boys!!Get more detail about LEGO Star Wars Anakin's Jedi Starfighter.
LEGO Bionicle Skopio XV-1 (8996) Order Now
My 11 year old son loves to build things so this was great for him. But once the assembly was complete, he had much less interest in it. He loved the act of building the Bionicle but, now has his assembled masterpiece displayed on a shelf. Wish it wasn't so expensive. It's a lot of money to spend on a toy that was fun for a few days.Get more detail about LEGO Bionicle Skopio XV-1 (8996).

Lauri Toys Toddler Tote Best Quality
This toy includes 7 pieces that do NOT meet the recommended guidelines for toys made for under 3 years of age.
The 7 tall stacker pegs are only 1 inch in diameter at the widest part. The size does not meet the Consumer Products Safety Commission's Small Parts Regulation that requires all toys made for children under 3 years be at least 1.75 inches in diameter.
The toy also does not meet the CPSC labeling regulation that requires a toy of this size to state on the package "not recommended for children under three ... contains small parts".

LEGO Toy Story Woody's Round Up (7594) This instant

I bought this set as an investment, but my 10 and 7 year olds would not let me keep it in the un-opened box. They have played with this set non-stop even though they don't really ever watch toy story. What makes it fun is the jail, the safe (with the money in it) and the hand cuffs. There's a lot of arguing over who gets to use bullseye too. I definately feel like it was money well spent.Get more detail about LEGO Toy Story Woody's Round Up (7594).
LEGO Atlantis Neptune Carrier (8075) Review
Admit I had my doubts when my 7 year old wanted this set recently. He thought it looked cool from the box but I wondered what it had to offer beyond the new Atlantis underwater theme. Turns out that the set is a hit on several levels...he loves it (no surprise there) but it's also nicely designed and offers more than a new theme.
As with most sets, there are a few small ships and vehicles to build first, which is nice. The main Neptune ship is the real draw. It has some terrific features...there are cool new pieces and the finished ship is also designed to allow bay doors to open and push back in a creative way that transforms the shape of the vehicle. Very cool and not something you see with every set.
I guess the best testament I can share is that my son usually takes apart a set within a week after building it and just uses the pieces for his own creations. This one has already lasted two weeks, with no sign that it's coming apart any time soon! Couple of other notes: my son has been putting together Lego sets himself for several years and didn't have any trouble with this one. There are about 450 pieces, which makes the price a little steep compared to some comparable sets, though not overly so.Get more detail about LEGO Atlantis Neptune Carrier (8075).
LEGO Creator Red Car (5867) Top Quality
I'm generally not a big fan of LEGO Creator vehicle line, but this set is really awesome. The hood, the trunk, and doors all open. The wheels are simply cool! You can build two more models, but the main one is by far the best. I recommend this set.Get more detail about LEGO Creator Red Car (5867).

Discount LEGO Duplo Legoville Garbage Truck (5637)
My 3-year-old son received this for his birthday 2 weeks ago and has played with it everyday since. The truck is very realistic. It comes with a garbage can that clips onto the back of the truck to simulate actually dumping in the garbage. There is also a garbage man and some loose larger legos that are included.
My 7-year-old was curious at first and now not at interested so I think the 3-4 year old preschool range is perfect.
Overall, fantastic for younger kids especially for less than $15.00.Get more detail about LEGO Duplo Legoville Garbage Truck (5637).
Save LEGO Castle Drawbridge Defense (7079)
First off, if nothing else, this set is worth it for the minifigs alone. You get an awesome golden knight and a queen, both unique to this set, as well as a standard crown knight and the rare jester minifig. On the evil side of things, you get an awesome grim reaper-esque skeleton with skeleton horse, a black skeleton, and another white skeleton. Seven minifigs is a lot for a set in this price range!
Accessories are cool too! Lots of weapons, including a flail, scythe, golden sword, crossbows, and even axes and glaives used in the tower's decor can come down if needed for a fight scene. The golden knight's armor and helmet are awesome, the shields are neat, and the queen's crown is adorable.
Secondly, the tower itself is impressive. The drawbridge mechanism works well, and the flick-fire ballista is neat too. My only complaint is that there isn't a whole lot of display (or play) room in the tower itself. To remedy this, I bought a seven dollar green baseboard with this set. The entire set fit on it perfectly. I would highly recommend purchasing the baseboard, which is a little extra cost but results in a much more satisfying play or display experience.
I bought this set on a whim, thinking of the Lego castle set I always wanted as a kid. I had fun building it; it's nothing too complex, but interesting anyway. The drawbridge mechanism is a stroke of genius. Also, when I took it home from college, my much younger siblings had a blast playing with it!
In conclusion, you can't beat the minifigs in this set for play or display purposes, and the tower is nice as well. I would recommend this set to any Lego Castle fan! It's a lot of fun, and adding a baseboard makes it even more so!Get more detail about LEGO Castle Drawbridge Defense (7079).

Great product as my child loves to play with them, but the biggest issue is that they have so many single pieces and not enough large pieces.

Other than that, it's a great toy.Get more detail about Mega Bloks 200 Piece Duffle Bag.

LEGO Toy Story Western Train Chase (7597) Top Quality
This is a five star train for kids in the 5 to 8 year old range. Older kids may be more interested in the forthcoming Harry Potter Hogwart's Express train (4841) or the City line trains (7938 and 7939). The City trains, incidentally, are the only ones that come as complete sets with track, motors and remote control devices.
This is an Old West 4-4-0 steam engine, box car, passenger car, and caboose. I would describe the design as more cartoon-like than realistic, with the engine having exaggerated proportions and the cars a tad short. The set includes no track or motor. It is designed as a push train. The engine uses four new drivers (and comes with two extra un-flanged drivers) as well as a cattle-catcher (a new part). The train cars themselves are small but attractively designed. As with the other new trains for 2010, this appears to be largely brick-built (i.e., few specialized plastic moldings). The set includes Woody, Buzz, Jessie, Bullseye, Rex, and Evil Doctor Pork Chops mini-figures. The passenger car and the caboose are designed with lift-off tops to make it easier to place characters inside, and the box car has a trap door in the roof. The train is not a difficult build, but younger children will likely need some assistance.
Regarding adding a motor, it is possible to use Lego's Power Function (PF) accessories to add one, but Lego has not provided directions for doing so. I have not done this yet, but one way is to build a tender that carries a battery, motor and remote receiver. It might be a little awkward given the proportions of the train, but it is doable. These parts are available directly from Lego. I will revise this review when I see someone do a good job of motorization.
Though train buffs will likely be put-off by the design, this set is going to be very, very popular among children. Grandparents, I think this makes a perfect birthday or holiday gift. I do recommend buying track; you need at least two sets of Lego 7896, though consider getting three sets of 7896 and one set of switches (7895). If you want to add additional old west structures, you can add 7594, Woody's Roundup (which I believe is a scene in Toy Story 2, not 3).Get more detail about LEGO Toy Story Western Train Chase (7597).

Fisher-Price TRIO Building Set with Storage Review
I purchased this Trio building set for my almost 5 year old son for Christmas, and 4 months later he is still playing with them nearly everyday! My 3 year old also loves them. From reviews I was a little concerned that the pieces might be too hard for him to put together alone, but it just took him a few days to get the hang of it. They are fun and sturdy. What separates these blocks from others is that they stay together really well. My son can carry a large contraption around without worrying about pieces falling off. There is extra room in the bucket, so we've added some smaller sets to our collection. Trio blocks are without a doubt the most played with toy in our playroom. I am SO pleased with this purchase, and I would buy them again in a heartbeat!Get more detail about Fisher-Price TRIO Building Set with Storage.

Order Lego Star Wars X-Wing Fighter with Luke Skywalker , Wedge Antiles , R2-D2 , Princess Leia , Han Solo and Chewbacca Mini Figures
Lets face it: Lego toys are just wonderful. This toy is no exception, however my son couldn't play with it (at least not as an x-wing) because the method of attachment of the wings led to their falling off all the time. Once the thing is built, if you try to reattach a wing or something, you wind up knocking several other pieces off. Very frustrating. And then the wings fall off anyway. Made me think it's really more like a model which you don't play woth, you just assemble and admire. That said. my son is enjoying it in its new state (created by him) and likes the characters. As long as he's happy, so am I. Just wish I hadn't spent 2 hours assembling it.Get more detail about Lego Star Wars X-Wing Fighter with Luke Skywalker , Wedge Antiles , R2-D2 , Princess Leia , Han Solo and Chewbacca Mini Figures.

Buy Classic Alphabet ABC Blocks With Canvas Bag by Uncle Goose
I was so excited to receive these blocks (on behalf of our little one). They are so beautiful, and remind me of a similar set I had as a child. I only later discovered that they also sell the alphabet set with a little waggon that they sit in, I would have loved that! I guess I'll just have to order it separately - and probably another set of blocks as well.
The embossed sides are beautiful, and the painted sides are great as well. I don't think that I have anything bad to say about them. Buyers should beware though, that these are indeed wood blocks, and as such need a little bit different maintenance as your typical plastic toys (no throwing them in the dishwasher for a quick 'sterilization'), but if looked after, I'm sure they will last a long time!Get more detail about Classic Alphabet ABC Blocks With Canvas Bag by Uncle Goose.

Cheapest LEGO Space Smash 'n' Grab (5982)
You can really tell the engineers at LEGO really love their jobs! This set is so full of intricate details that I find it quite amazing that it is a toy. The fact that the atm machine has cash in it, that Squidtron is such a total bad guy that he invents a getaway "car" that has a hook so he can just run by all the atm's, hook them, and take off, is just ingenious. After this one was assembled, we all about laughed ourselves silly! It's super cute, loved a ton in this house, is very durable too. This guy's already stood up to hours of playtime with minimal falling apart. The atm machine likes to fall off the hook but all the better for the Space Policeman to grab it back. Took about 20 minutes for a nine-year-old to assemble so it's not overly involved. SUPER cute, highly, highly recommend!Get more detail about LEGO Space Smash 'n' Grab (5982).
