Product Description

Lego's Creator line is a collection of flexible, intricate model sets that come with detailed diagrams to make several different models. This one includes motion power, a Lego motor and battery pack that allows you to animate your models. The first instruction booklet shows how to build a crab robot in 39 steps, a front-wheel drive sports coup in 44 steps, and an insect walker in seven steps. The second booklet shows how to build a motorized helicopter with spinning rotors in 46 steps. The instructions are detailed but complicated, and include several intermediate routines along the way. These are challenging models to build, but rewarding for those just wild about the way gears work. The instructions show alternate model images, but not diagrams, of a working crane and a single-seat prop plane. Both the helicopter and crab models feature two rubber-tipped missile darts. Parents should note that a blunt, rubber, spring-loaded missile shoots about five feet from the completed model. It's not enough to do anything but pretend damage, but in the wrong hands, it could be used to make a younger sibling cry. Inside the box you'll find eight bags of bricks, a 2x16 piece, two power cords, four plastic tires, Lego motor block, power pack, and two instruction booklets. Also included is an illustrated block inventory with part numbers, in case you ever need to re-order a replacement block. Six AA-size batteries required for the power pack are not included. --Porter B. Hall

I bought this for my son's 7th birthday. I, his mother, helped him put it together the first couple of times so he could see how things went but since then he does them on his own. I enjoyed it as much if not more than he did and I'm 38 :) The only "problems" were keeping the pieces together sometimes when you had to move it around to fit other pieces on and making sure you followed the directions ACURATELY or things wouldn't work the way they were supposed to. Minor "problems" though

This is an excellent product that lives up to all the expectations that you would have from Lego. This was bought for a 7yr old and we had hours of fun building the models and playing with them. the instructions are clear and there are plenty of alternative ideas.

This is great for some serious 'quality' play-time and is highly recommended.

Great option

Reviewer: Erika Erdman,

I purchased this set for my 10 year old son. He spent hours the first day assembling the helicoptor and was able to do it all without help from me. He was very proud of the result and everyone thought the missiles were too cool. He disassembled the coptor after a week or so and then built the next item and the next. This set kept him busy creating for hours with not a peep about playing video games. I love anything that exercises their minds. This is a great toy.
