 The hit of Christmas... Jan 25, 2007
By Scott F. Mcgrath
...even more so than his first two-wheel bike.
Here it is January 25th, and the "Robot" (Wacky Wigglers) is still getting pulled out almost every day. Both my 3 year ols and my 1 year old love it, and the older boy is single-handedly building some pretty impressive contraptions. My only potential complaint will be the cost of replacing all of the button-batteries in the various flashing elements once they start going dead. They make the whirling, chomping rolling (and flashing) contraptions that much more impressive, but for some reason, need to be turned off by an adult (funny, since they need no such grown-up help to turn on).
I'd recommend this as a toy for 4-8 years with two big thumbs-up. It's sort of like an erector set without the need for nuts, bolts, screws or tools. Everything just snaps together. Add eyes, floppy ears and alien hands and it all adds up to a wonderful outlet for young imaginations, and a great training tool for physical principles.
(I'm actually here on Amazon sourcing an expension set now.)

This toy is really fun!! Dec 28, 2005
By M. Maxey
My children recieved this toy for Christmas. We have had fun putting it together and it is hours of entertainment. This toy is great for kids 5 and older. That is because the pieces have a tendency to come apart easily. The motor allows you to move the parts forward and backward. I also liked that the book came with different designs to build.

Cool concept Jun 11, 2007
By K. Fox
"The Fox"
We bought this toy for our 4 year old son for his birthday. He wanted a "robot" -- so we thought this might fit the bill. He struggles with putting it together with all the pieces that are included, but is quite capable at building a basic structure. We've found that the more elaborate structures doesn't always work as designed, and invaribly it falls apart quite easily. BUT, I foresee our son growing with this toy-- learning how to use more and more pieces, and creating more complicated designs. Overall, it's pretty neat and fun to play with.

 I should have listened to reviews Oct 01, 2009
By T. Schroeder
This toy is great in concept, but the actual toy needs some definate readjusting. It is somewhat difficult to get the pieces pushed on all the way, but even if you do get it all put together it still may not move. We still have not adjusted the gears correctly so that ours will actually move; perhaps, it doesn't. The other BIG problem is that if you do get it together, it is not easy to get apart again. Therefore, I do not see a child wanting to take it apart much and create many creations (The whole point and learning value behind it).
My child has completely tossed it aside, even though he was thrilled in the beginning to receive it. He loves to build, but this toy is too difficult and frustrating - even for me. I started to pull it apart and after getting several pieces off my fingers were sore. I too put it away. Oh well, I will chalk this one up as me getting so excited about a concept that I didn't listen to reviews.

LOTS of fun Aug 21, 2008
By C. Thomas
"Carol"
My son got this at age 7. LOTS of fun! My 22yr old had a blast with it too. Smaller kids will need help building the different figures, but it's a great shared experience. Comes with instructions to make a few, but make up your own also. This set comes with some glow in the dark and light up pieces, which adds more fun when the lights go out.
