SO much fun...and I don't even have a kid
I admit it: I don't even have a child, I'm just a 20-year-old who really enjoys playing with Legos when I'm looking to procrastinate (which is to say, basically all the time...and I highly recommend it!). Having said that, on to the review...

This kit is ideal for those looking for a good assortment of pieces in a variety of colors and shapes, and there's a whole lot of them included as well (but, don't be surprised if you find yourself wanting to expand your collection indefinitely). The other great thing about this kit is that it's basically a "blank canvas" that has you rely on your imagination (rather than a themed set with a movie-tie).

In short, lots of fun!

Great assortment of legos!
This was exactly like I expected. You can't find a general mix of legos anywhere. They're all kits. These aren't the small legos either. This will be great for our 3 1/2 year old engineer minded son. We also bought the set of lego people and wheels. I'm sure we'll be adding more soon enough. Great buy...you can't beat it anywhere, even with shipping.

Lego 4+ Basic Bulk Set
Quite a lot of building blocks. Enough to keep a child's imagination going for hours. Strong parts, bright colors and many different shapes are great.

Buy THIS product! It's what you've been looking for!
This set of lego's surpassed what I was expecting! There is great building possibility and potential with this set. When you buy similar lego packages it states that you get ... say... 850 pieces. Most of those pieces are the little itty-bitty one (tiny 1/4" square) or two-piece (tiny 1/2" rectangle)lego's that are not that useful for building anything. This product has the bigger bricks so your child can actually BUILD something. I have searched and searched for a product like this and I could not even find it at the LEGO site! If you are looking for free play IE not buying a kit that only builds one thing, this is the one for you! This seller was great too. I had no problems and the order shipped quickly. Would buy from again.

Lego Basic Just Bricks
This large collection of lego bricks is to my mind the "classic collection". Children of all ages (and adults) can build ships, planes, houses -- whatever the mind imagines -- in a variety of colors. The bricks come in a nice sturdy plastic container for convenient storage.

While Lego has gone on to develop a wide range of other products, for those who want a good starter kit and bricks not specific to any particular image or character, this is a great product

Nice that it's just the blocks
I like that this is a package of just Lego bricks, and not all the fancy prefab cars, house, people, etc., that most people think of as Legos nowadays. Personally, I think the more fancy you make the Lego sets, the less they stimulate imagination -- just having geometric blocks and building with those seems like pure creative thought to me.

That being said, it's worth pointing out that these are *small* basic Legos (ie, the connecting dots are the smallest size). Does anyone know where we could find a comparable basic set of the larger-bore size?

Great price for a good variety of Booster Packs, just try to find these recent Pokeman collectors faves at your local hobby or comic book shops for these prices. Much exitement putting these in collectable books for recent Diamand and Pearl sleave collector books, also found at good price at Amazon. My boys were throwing the big toys to the side under the Christmas tree after opening a simple sure shot all year round fun activity that is what I,ve found to be great from pre tween intro to more mature stamp/coin collecting.

Great beginners kit
This is a great starter kit. I am a 7th grade teacher and needed a launch pad and controller and this kit is actually a better deal than buying them separately...like getting two free rockets. I gave the two rockets to two other staff members and they loved them! Our rocket day went great and everything worked the way it should have.

advice for internationals
OOOOOOOOOOps ,, it was my mistake not reading the discription very well, i am from kuwait and i have account in a world wide delivery company (ARAMAX),, unfortunatly the supplies ( ex. engines ) are not available here in kuwait, well i have bought them from USA but i guess they would not let them get in airplane, or there must be a problem preventing these engines from comming here, therefor i have the rocket model now, my childeren are playing with it like any plastic toy
MY ADVICE for internationals, make sure first that your country has all the supplies you need in order to enjoy the rocket more and more
i can not mark how many stars because i did not try it

Great model rocketry starter kit
If you are interested in model rocketry, this is definitely the right place to start. This kit includes everything you need to send you rocket to the heavens, such as a complete launch pad system with launch controller, and two different rockets. The only things you have to supply are plastic cement, white glue, and the engines, which you can purchase at most hobby shops or sometimes your local WalMart. The best part of this kit is the fact that the rockets are two different skill levels so you can determine exactly how involved you wish to get into the model rocketry hobby. The larger "Amazon" rocket is skill level E2X, which only requires glueing a few pieces together and slapping on the decals. The smaller Crossfire ISX is skill level 1, which requires a little bit work to put together and you have to paint it yourself. This set is perfect for both adults looking to get into the hobby and children/teens with the appropriate adult supervision.

ROME_S
WELL I FIRST BOUGHT THIS RC TRUCK, LOOKING AT THE PHOTOS AND THEN THE REMARKS OF THE CUSTOMERS WHO PURCHASED IT PRIOR TO ME BUYING IT, I WAS IMPRESSED WITH WHAT ALL I GOT AND IT CO INSIDED WITH WHAT SOME OF THE OTHER CUSTOMERS SAID IN THIER REVIEW. OF MY PERSONAL OBSERVATION THIS IS WHAT I HAVE CONCLUDED:THE SIZE IS IMPRESSIVE, THE LOOKS IS IMPRESSIVE THE REFORMANCES IS GOOD,AND SO IS THE DURABILITY, IT CAN BE A LITTLE BIT IMPROVED,DESPITE THE FACT IT USES TWO BATTERIE PACKS,WHAT I WOULD CHANGE ON IT OR IN THIS CASE ADD TO IT IS THIS:LIGHTS, IT HAS PLACES FOR THEM, AND LOOKING AT IT, IT CAN BE DONE.BUT IT MIGHT VOID THE WARRENTY.SO IT BE NICE IF THEY ALREADY CAME FUNCTIONAL.AND I`M TALKING ABOUT THE BACK LIGHTS ALSO. ITS KIND OF DISAPOINTING WHEN YOU SEE THE LIGHTS BUT THIER DUMMIES, I WOULD MAKE THEM WORK.THEN THE CHANGES WOULD BE THE SPEED, A LITTLE FASTER, COME ON IT HAS TWO MOTORS, AND EACH HAS THIER OWN BATTERIES,SO THERE.AND AS FAR AS THE STEERING GOES IT NEEDS A LITTLE BIT IMPROVING, NOT TOO MUCH TURNING, BECAUSE ITS A BIG RC VEHICKLE, AND QUICK TURNS WILL USUALLY MEAN ROLLOVERS, AND WITH A NICE LOOKING VEHICKLE LIKE THAT YOU DONT WANT TO THAT.ESPECIALLY IF YOUR TOP LIGHTS WERE TO ACTUALLY FUNCTION FOR REALS.I WOULD GIVE IT FOUR STARS, MAKE IMPROVMENTS ON IT AND THE RATINGS WILL GO UP.

Great bang for the buck
Super size makes this a fun product for the grand kids. Their eyes light up immediately. Since I have Radio Control Hobby Cars - Nitro & Battery - this is a very fun toy for them and me too. Considering I pay $ 300.00 and up for hobby cars and trucks, I consider this a great value. Always explain to the grandkids how to operate this and all radio control vechicles properly.

For 80 bucks you can't go wrong
This truck is really big and bad, every dad at the park will want one. It has twin motors(one for front axel and one for rear) that each run off of their own 19.2 volt 600mah ncd battery and each come with their own charger. It will give you a good 20 minutes of fun on a charge but the batteries take about 6-8 hours to charge. It really is fast for how big it is. The tires alone stand 7" high. The steering radius is poor so it will not corner very good at all. But when you slow down you can manuver through anywhere. It does great off road and will even hill climb. It is 4*4. I dont think it is waterproof though. However I drove it around in the rain and through puddles and had no problems. If you can get 90 days of use out this bad boy I think you got your moneys worth.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Review
Did you know that painted ladies (the butterflies, that is) taste with their feet and have 10,000 eyes? You and your kids will be fascinated by all you learn about these beautiful creatures with the Butterfly Garden from Insect Lore. The kit comes with a relatively easy-to-assemble observation chamber; supplies for feeding the butterflies (you provide only sugar and water); an informative booklet of clear instructions and butterfly facts; and a certificate for three to five free painted lady caterpillars. The metamorphosis from larva to butterfly takes about three weeks from when you receive the caterpillar larvae (which arrive in a small container with all the nutrients they need). Your children can watch the larvae increase dramatically in size, form chrysalides, and finally emerge into full-fledged painted ladies (it's suggested that they release the butterflies after a few days of observation). This would make a wonderful activity for families with kids of any age, but younger children will need help assembling the observation chamber and reading the instruction booklet. (Note: The manufacturer recommends that butterflies should not be set free in temperatures lower than 55 degrees Fahrenheit.) --Rachel Radway

butterflies becoming
The Live Butterfly Garden is even cooler than we thought it would be.
It's great to have a long-term project that doesn't provide instant gratification. It's interesting and fun.

Butterfly habitat - great teaching aid
My wife is a first grade teacher. She and her class were thrilled with this product as it was used during their section on insects and butterflies. They placed caterpillars inside and let them crystallize and transform into butterflies. The product worked great!

Excellent educational toy
We bought this for our 8 yr. old granddaughter and it ended up being a whole family educational experience. All the butterflies hatched and she informed me this morning that she has 1 male and the rest are females. She was SO excited. We also purchased "From Caterpillar to Butterfly (Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science, Stage 1" Would HIGHLY recommend purchasing both!
