Let's face it: Lego is the standard by which so many toys these days are measured--and fall short. In a world where creativity seems to be going out the window, replaced by step-by-step instructions for proper construction of toys with pre-determined stories, Legos are basically stackable blank slates. This particular bucket o' blocks features 1,000 small elementary pieces. A pamphlet with 13 instructions (and 28 ideas) is included, inspiring young builders to create anything from clowns to dinosaurs, but most children will probably do their own thing anyway...flying tractors, anyone? Parents and kids will love the big, sturdy blue storage tub with space enough to hold far more than 1,000 Legos. A true classic. --Emilie Coulter

Great Starter Set This item is a great idea for kids just learning to build. It offers a strong start for accumulating legos. The predetermined sets are great, but when a child is done building, and done displaying a creation, they need a container to put their legos in to pull out and play with later. This set provides all kinds of pieces for imaginative construction. My children have outgrown this container, but we still have the pieces!
If I Only Had It I am still waiting for this lego set to come. It's been on back order since November and I ordered it for my grandson for Christmas. I was excited to see its availability online, because I didn't see this set in any stores, but was disappointed to find out it was not going to come in time for the holidays. I am hoping it comes by the end of January as Amazon indicated. I'm sure it will be popular with my grandson, who loves to create.
Lots of hours of fun The Lego set is great for creative play time for my grandsons.
