LEGO Reviews

I love this toy! but the weapons are very thin. so be careful not
to break it. but anyway, toa onewa is awsome!

I remember when I first bought the Bionicles two years ago and how "amazing" they were then. Now I've bought this one and the old classics seems like junk. These Toa-Metru can bend their knees, twist their heads and you have the option of one, two or neither of their arms moving!
The Bionicle saga has brought us back in time when the wise, old villagers (Turaga) are now toa. I only own (as of now) Onewa and Nokama. Onewa has an awsome color (it's almost like "wood" brown) and great action accessories. His Proto Pitons help him climb and carve the cliffs of Po-Metru. I have a split opinion about his mask, though. I like it because it's Graet Power is the power of mind control. This leaves a lot of imagination for playing. I dislike the mask because of it's appearance. It looks almost squished and I don't really care for it. All-in-all, I love this Toa Metru and look foward to buying more in the future.

I got this set mainly for the geared motor, which is very
good. But I decided to build a couple models anyway. I
built the monkey, and although I didn't try it on the string
it seemed too heavy and off balance to work. So I built a
spider and the motor just made it flop back and forth. It
kept coming apart. What good is that? My only reccomendation
for this set is the motor, so you can use it on other technic sets.

This is a great toy, like all Legos. The motor seems nicely versatile, usable in as many ways as a kid can think up.

I'm writing this review because I note in the Amazon Editorial Review that the reviewer says "...and a fish (that really swims in water!) were just some of the things you can make."

Because of this, we used our fish model in water and after a couple tries the motor became waterlogged and quit working. After a day of drying out, it started working again, thankfully.

I just got an email from Lego Tech Support verifying that the motor should not be used in water.

I had my suspicions because the User Manual has icons showing "no water" whenever they depict the fish but the Editorial Review here said you could. Only now do I realize (upon a second reading) that Amazon's blurb is not an official toy company description but just an Amazon in-house review perhaps.

At any rate, don't put the motor in water.

Have fun! : )

Our kids (2, 4 & 6) think this Lego toy is fun. After we put the monkey together we were disappointed to discover the motor did not work. I went to Lego's web site, submitted my problem and got a new motor in the mail a couple of days later. The kids then strung up the string and we watched the monkey climb back and forth from one end to the other. It's kind of amazing how realistic the monkey looks, with his head swaying from side to side as he moves. If you put the monkey together properly, and tie the string to two solid objects, then the monkey will definitely climb along the string without any problems.

Of course, it falls apart quite easily, especially when dropped, but that's part of the fun of Legos. You get to put them back together.

In general Legos are great toys. They inspire creativity, give kids an opportunity to observe and understand spatial relations, and teach kids how to follow instructions. If your child works on an age appropriate Lego toy he'll feel a big sense of accomplishment when finished. If you have a Lego set designed for older kids then it gives you an opportunity to work on something fun with your kid. You can't go wrong with Legos.

Missing parts can be ordered from the "Contact" section of [...]

I would highly reccomend this, along with all other designer kits to anyone with a good imagination. 'Nuff said.
On a side note, I would suggest that you buy the newer "Titan XP" robot set, if you're willing to shell out a bit more money, unless of course you have a thing for blue robots...

For more information on giant blue robots, watch Megas XLR.

I love having this set for those long winter nights in front of the telescope monitor. Nothing helps to stimulate the brain more than building a couple of robots and letting them fight it out. HA HA HA. I love these things. The assortment contained in this set is amazing and I have found no end to the robots I am able to complete.

We got this from a friend for my son's 4-year old birthday. We didn't think that he would be able to build it since he's only 4, but he opened it anyway. Couple of months later, he built one of the model, which rated as 2-block, all by himself. My husband and I were amazed. We took a look at this lego set. We found the instruction was quite clear even for a young kid. I never imaged that my 4-year old boy would love this toy so much that he play with it every day. Now I plan to buy more advanced sets for him. The only thing that bothers me is the missing pieces. The lego pieces are so small that it's hard to not lose any of them. My son has already lost some pieces and I don't know where to buy them except to buy a full set.

These legos don't really fit the original Legos, and there weren't very many Legos in the bucket (only about half the bucket was filled). But they are entertaining...

my grandson loves them

I took my nephew to FT. Laudrdale & when he wasn't in the pool, he was playing with the legos. He is almost 3, & after learning the pieces are not allowed in his mouth he sat & played for the longest time. He was mesmerized. I am buying more so we can have some at his house & ours.

star is the best clikits girl's .i think it'so cool t has a punch set and the only prpolem is that if it's you first set you don't have anthing to but it on so get a set that has got stuff in it

We love these Legos! We have a four and five year old. The five year old has regular size Legos and all though he likes them, he gets frustrated when trying to put some of them together. We bought these for our four year old becuase he just couldn't figure out how to play with the other ones. My boys build all sorts of things out of these Lego Duplos. Love them!
