Cheap Best-Lock 750pc Garage and Vehicles


I loved the idea, but was very dissapointed with the actual product. The pieces are way too small! I was surprised to see inside of a big box numerous little bags with very tiny lego like pieces...It also says that it works with other brands, that it's not true. I would also add that the package was damaged and a few pieces missing.Get more detail about Best-Lock 750pc Garage and Vehicles.

Buying K’NEX Double Dare Dueling Coaster


K'nex makes some of the most educational and imaginative toys available. They do require patience and some adult assistance is helpful, but that is true for any good learning experience. Introduce a kid to K'Nex in a positive and supportive way, and you open the door to so many possibilities. Once building a few models, you've created a 'knex kid' and next thing you know, this kid might be able to construct intricate towers as tall as any adult! Build roller coasters and learn physics in the most fun way imaginable. Get them off the tube and the video games for awhile and do something contructive - literally - with K'Nex!Get more detail about K’NEX Double Dare Dueling Coaster.

Buy LEGO Takanuva (7135)


These smaller sets aren't about building them. It took my 12-year old Lego nut nephew only a couple of minutes to put together. They're more about the on-going play with a known character and the collecting of them. And, for the eight bucks this one cost me, it gets more than it's value worth of play.

Takanuva, as my nephew informed me, is the only known Toa of light - but has powers of light, shadow and flight. In early 2010, Lego released him and five other characters. So,if you're trying to find a gift a bionicle collector might not have yet, any in this set (7116 Tahu, 7117 Gresh, 7135 Takanuva, 7136 Skrall, 7137 Piraka and 7138 Rahkshi) are probably good options.

Each one comes with a gold piece that when all the characters of the set are collected, the pieces can be used to create a "golden shield" for Tahu - the toa of fire, turning him into a "Golden Toa" that bionicle-wise folks know from the movie.

Takanuva is one of the more popular of the set, but I'd recommend getting Tahu (Set 7116) first or to go along with this one if buying a gift. He's the one the gold shield pieces will ultimately be used upon. His comes with the gold mask that completes his golden warrior outfit(this one comes with a gold piece that can be used on the shoulder or other part of the chest). And finally, he's probably the most popular of them all.

As Amazon toy buyers know, it's worth shopping around to make sure you're getting a decent price versus other store options as they can vary so dramatically.Get more detail about LEGO Takanuva (7135).

Where To Buy Haba Coliseum


I bought this set for my kids when we were studying the Roman Empire as just like an extra thing to fill some time. I didn't realize that they would enjoy it so much. It gives my kids some quiet, concentration time when trying to build the coliseum. They also use it to build other structures which is good for fostering some creativity. All of the blocks are good quality, uniform in size with no rough edges. This is a great set if you or your children like to play with blocks.Get more detail about Haba Coliseum.

Shop For CITIBLOCS Original Wooden Building Block Set - 300 Piece


I have two sons ages 8 & 6. We discovered CitiBlocs during a visit to a hands on science museum where they had a room with a thousand + blocks for the kids and their parents to build with. It was a huge hit with my boys and clearly people of all ages were addicted to these seemingly mundane blocks. Had it not been for this experience I would have not thought to purchase them. My boys love to build and make things with their hands particularly with Legos. When we surprised them with their own set of CitiBlocs they were thrilled. I recommend buying a minimum of 300 blocks to start with especially if you have more than one child, this way they don't argue over whose building to destroy so they can build some more. I suspect we will be ordering more blocks in the future. The set comes with an instruction book offering some neat ideas of things to build. It really is amazing at all the different types of structures you can make from a simple, rectangular shaped piece of wood.Get more detail about CITIBLOCS Original Wooden Building Block Set - 300 Piece.
