Arrived quickly and appeared as expected. My 8 year son put the truck together. He never attempted to put the plane together. He enjoyed the project immensely. He got stuck once or twice, but the sense of accomplishment he had upon completion was a site to behold. Note that the truck was not that sturdy and some small lego pieces will fall off if the child plays with the truck as you would a tonka truck. I think the project is more about assembling and not really for actual usage thereafter. A sort of trophy truck, if you get my drift. I would gift this truck to another child as well.

My 4 year old loves the 3-in-1 lego sets he can take apart and rebuild into something different, but he does it so quick that I figured this would be a good product to give him a little more of a challenge, and I wasn’t disappointed. This definitely takes more patience and time, which was great. I was disappointed that the instructions for the dump truck were the only ones included, and to get the instructions for the airplane, you had to go online. My 4 year old doesn’t have a phone, which meant we had to use mine. It says you can print the instructions but this feature was not possible from the page that popped up when I scanned the QR code, so that’s made putting the plane together very difficult. Also, trying to take the dump truck apart was almost as difficult as putting it together. One of the pieces completely snapped in half. I was able to tape it and kind of save it, but that was a bit of a let down.

I really had no idea what to get my buddy's son for his birthday. He suggested to get him something that he can put together and build because he likes those kind of toys. He opened the present and yelled out "Whoa! Thats cool!" and my buddy said since the party he has been playing with it every day. Saw him yesterday and his son thanked me again for the toy and was telling me about all the things he has built outside of the 2 design. I would say its a great toy for a child to help broaden their creativity and imagination. Definitely a last minute hit for me.

Grand kids loved it.

I got this lego set for my little brother this past Christmas. It was a great gift, he loves it! IT has working hydraulics and is just all-around a good way to get your little boy engaged with building (if they aren't already). The first thing he said when he opened it was "It's not by lego". He loves it now, but just a little warning out there if your child is strictly a Lego fan!

My 5 year old absolutely loved this toy. We wanted to cut down on his screen time so we got this in hopes that it would keep him busy and distracted. It absolutely worked. We had a lot of fun putting it together and then he spent a good amount of time playing with the final product. Overall great buy!
