Basic Fun K'NEX , Ultimate Building Set 35 Model , Educational Toys for Kids, 480 Piece Engineering and Construction STEM Learning Kit for Children Ages 7+, (Packaging may vary)

I purchased this set for my 7 year old son who is a big lover of lego. We wanted to get him something similar but a little more complicated that involved a little more thought to challenge him a bit and to make building models a little more interesting than the usual lego structures we often see him building. I was a fan of K'Nex as a kid because they are so versatile, where much of lego is bricks, k'nex is multifunctional and one piece could be used to be an edge of a structure, a base, a piece of something that is a moving part etc etc. I have always loved Lego as well, but personally feel that lego is great for intricate model building and K'nex is better for thinking of the "skeleton" of a structure. There are 35 models that this set is ideal for ranging from the outline of an icecream cone more complicated planes, cranes, dinosaurs etc. The one thing to note about K'nex if you've never used them is that in the instructions - where lego would be really detailed about how to put a model together, most K'nex models are a page or two at the most at this size and show a short of exploded view of a piece coming together. The box is a little big for what is inside of it, but I think if you have a lot of K'nex, it works well as a storage box for it as it is quite large (in my opinion, for this set alone I think it should be a quarter of the size it is, but it is a very robust box and works well for storage.The 480 pieces mean that although there are 35 models you can build, it also allows for some imagination and has a great variety of pieces to account for freestyle model building. I purchased this at around 13.00GBP and was very happy with it at that price. I would buy again and would recommend to someone looking for a gift for someone who is a lover of k'nex or even a lover of lego! Great quality - highly recommended

Great toy for kids younger or old kids

Lots of great models to build, providing endless fun.

Good for kids and adults that are used to building as 13 year old finds it quite complex

Great toy my son loves this toy build

Bought for my grandson. He loves it.

Brought this for my 6 yr old grandson who’s had hours of play making its models . Great for using the imagination . I was so impressed that I purchased another set with different models . Worth the price for hours of play .

My son had this when he was little.Purchased for my Grandson quality is just as good. You will not be disappointed.Makes a nice change from lego.
