My review
By A Customer
This is very fun, but to make one of the things that in this kit you can make you will need a lot of time. This kit is hard to make but, all the things that you can make in this kit are cool. I have made a couple so far and they all work. The instructions are easy to mess up on if you aren't very careful.

Fantastic for budding engineers
By Heather in WI
We bought this product for our son last year for Christmas. I think it is the best building toy we have ever purchased for him. The instructions for each project are detailed and go beyond saying, "Do this and then that." The manual explains the 'why' behind each step and also asks the child questions to get them to think further about each step. I wish it was easier to buy more Fischertechnik products in the US. I'd buy the whole line for my boys!

huge amount to build and learn
By deerhunter
Wow, this kit is loaded! The manual describes several items for my son to make. He has made 1 item so far and it did require help from his dad but then he did enjoy modifying it himself and definitely learned!
