Collect and Build Robo Battlers Series - Slasher Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My son got this for his 8th birthday and was excited about it. The age grade says 7+ and this seems generous as the sparse directions and finicky assembly would drive 10 year old batty. First, the instructions. Each step is illustrated in a 3/4 drawing with a bare minimum of clues as to how to build it. The view is always the same, never a nice detailed shot rotated to best illustrate the step -which is critical with the nature of the K'nex pieces and their unique attachments.
My son got frustrated at Step 1 and after I asked him to try again, I sat down and worked on the kit with him. I don't mind building the kits together, in fact I like it a lot, the issue I have is that I'm guessing the chances of him building anything else with the kit, like he would with a Lego kit, is small. Speaking of small, these pieces are smaller than the other K'nex set he has (I think it was a Happy meal toy).
The saving grace for the set is that it has a few parts that can accommodate Lego pieces, this combined with the Lego block I super glued to the battery housing should extend the life of the toy, keeping it out of the bottom of the toy box for now. Right now the robot is walking past with 8 Lego Star Wars Mini Figs attached to it :)

Orange County Choppers Raptor Bike Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This tpy was fun to pout together, but not exactly durable. We are not able to play with i without it falling apart! My son is 5 and he put it together with his grandpa which was fun for both of them, but now it just sits on the stand. Overall, I would stick to the lego sets.

K'NEX Screamin' Serpent Roller Coaster Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This set is very cool it only took me around 3 hours to build it and I am only 11.This set has poseable figures that pop in and out of the three cool rail hugging cars.This set has a motor and a sound box that has a sensor at the top so when the cars go by it starts screamin for the exact amount of time it takes the car to do the ride and then you hear the chain go up the hill.I liked this set a lot because the big one has a hole you can lay down in and watch your roller coaster go zooming by.I build with knex a lot and I have over 6,000 pieces and the best thing is if you can imagine it you can build it.I have built 2 roller coasters not including this set ,3 feet high ferris wheels 6 feet high cranes and this set is the best set I have.After you have this set you can go on the internet and and get bonus builds you can build with this set.My overall opinion is this set is a must get.

K'nex Speed Demon Roller Coaster Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My 10-year-old son assembled the Speed Demon Roller Coaster in 1 full day. The instructions were clear enough to illustrate the process fairly well. Only one point early in the build was confusing because of perspective. Had the instructions shown the small piece at an angle, it may have been clear that the part was projecting away from the frame rather than parallel to it (hint, hint).
He has adjusted the basic coaster to try to get even more speed out of it, and has made good deductions on the process. He asks the questions that lead to physics discussions in kinetics.
The next step in the process is to build the alternate coaster available for download from the manufacturer's website. We'll see what conclusions he draws from that experience!
Outstanding toy with good educational value! Once the coaster is energized, it is easy to spend lots of time just watching the car clamber up the track and zoom back down just to go back up again.
