Magnetix 150 Count - Primary Colors Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought my 4 year old son the 70 pc set and he absolutely loves it. The only thing is that there is not enough pieces in it for the price. I was shocked when I opened the box. The box was pretty small anyway and when I opened it, it was mostly styrofoam. The pieces are tiny and would probably be easily lost except for the fact that a) they are magnetic and stick together and b)my son thinks they are the coolest toys in the world and he fanatically keeps up with them. (That was a first for him also, he NEVER likes to put toys away, much less voluntarily.) He loves legos but he thinks these are even better. If your child loves to build things with blocks or legos he will probably like this toy, just don't be surprised when you open the box and see what 70 or 150 count really looks like.

LEGO Mindstorms Robotic Invention 2.0 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Lego Mindstorms is a phenomenal toy. Your kids -- and probably you! -- will learn programming, logic, math, etc., while have hours and hours of fun. I cannot say enough about how impressed I am with this product!
FOR YOUNG USERS This product will immediately engage young users in building and programming the layouts that come with the kit. This alone makes it worth twice the cost. The programming environment is easy, yet the possibilities it offers will draw your kids into thinking and problem-solving. Learning and having fun at the same time: What a great idea!
FOR ADULTS Lego robots are used in graduate courses at MIT and Indiana University, among other schools. The programming environment is robust enough that it can support exercises in artificial intelligence. Check the NET: there are people out there posting advanced code for the Lego OS, writing new operating systems for the Mindstorms platform, and posting instructions for their own robotic creations. It is fun and educational for adults, too!
PURCHASING RECOMMENDATION The Robotics Invention System is the best entry point to Mindstorms, in my opinion. The programming options are much greater because of the ability to program on a PC with this kit. The lower-priced Mindstorms kits, such as the Robotics Discovery set do not allow programming from the PC. The programs are limited to what is included in the on-board processing module. That means the Robotics Discovery robots cannot do nearly as much as you can program the Robotics Invention System robots to do.
