5.0 out of 5 stars Superb set, 6 Oct 2005
Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This is an excellent kit and to categorise it as a 'toy' is wrong in all senses of the word. My 8 year old loves it and his friends are amazed. It has just had one component fail (because he was messing about and managed to overload the circuit), I emailed the company and they have sent me a replacement part FoC! There are endless circuits to make which means that there is no need to experiment until you know what you are doing and it is also great fun to do - especially the flying disc, the radios, bedroom intruder detection alarm and the morse code machine to name but a few. It is not cheap, but for value for money I would give it 10/10.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hours of educational fun!, 16 Feb 2005
By A Customer
Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 
I bought this electronics set for my 8 year old daughter 3 months ago and she is still playing with it all the time, the instructions are very easy to follow, the pieces are numbered and click together easily. There are so many things to make with this set, one of the favourites being the disc that flys into the air, and the radio. This set never gets boring once you have finished making all of the items in the booklet you can always start making up your own. Definately a very good buy and very educational

5.0 out of 5 stars A BRILLIANT TOY - AND GREAT VALUE, 5 Jan 2006
Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 
Bought for my 8 year old son for Christmas, this toy is providing endless hours of educational fun and he's still got loads of things to make with it. It's been the most successful toy we've ever bought (preferred even to last year's Gameboy and Robosapien!)- and the most gratifying because he's learning so much while he's playing. Totally brilliant design - should win awards.
