Great value

Lego bricks are awesome creative toys, but the sets you get at a toy store are very expensive. This bare-bones package has a lot of bricks for a really good price. My kid loves to make robots and houses with the bricks and doesn't care that they didn't come with a fancy storage tub.

Well this is what they say it is, alot of lego. But dont expect a fancy box. It all came in a cardbord box. But still its a nice expation for my childern as my motto is you can never get to much lego/duplo.

And I think its a educational or atleast a creativ toy, my toddler makes houses for her animals, when she was younger she would make towers ect. So I think its just your imagitaton that sets limits. Only porblem with duplo if you step on it, it hurts, but the toy dont break *smiles*

Living in Norway this cost me 1/6 of what the same amount would cost me at the store so I am super duper happy, dont know what it cost in the usa but this is cheap for me :D

Lego is always fantastic but...

Be advised that these blocks come in tiny plastic bags just thrown inside the box they are delivered in...no plastic bin to keep them in or anything like that...

Works great

I tried the cheap Mega Blocks before these and they were worthless. These showed up pretty quickly and unlike the mega blocks, they actually stick together when my daughter builds something. When you buy them this way, they show up in bland packaging in little bags, but who cares. I bought the lego table too and it was a great move. All the legos go in the middle of the table and our 2.5 year old actually puts the legos away by herself on occasion.

	Dora the Explorer Mr. Face Plush Backpack Review: My daughter is a big Dora fan and uses this backpack to carry around her favorite toys and books, which is why I gave it 5 stars for educational value. My friend's daughter has it as well, and love hers too. We've had it 6 months now and it's holding up just fine. The map opens up for an added bonus. My daughter likes to wear it and sing the backpack song from the show.
	Star Wars Episode III: Darth Vader Voice Changer Helmet Wow, do I ever wish they had this out when I was a kid! I bought it, and my wife, kids and I have all been playing with it. It has a chest box with several buttons that plays about 5 of Darth's quotes from the movies, or you can switch it to voice changer. The voice changer is fun! It has 3 different levels of depth for changing the voice. ... A must for Star Wars Geeks!!!!
