Absolute rubbish. We do a lot of Lego in this house, both myself and my husband were big Lego fans as kids and my three kids love it too, so we're pretty good at putting things together. My 8 year old son was bought this toy as a Christmas present and we wasted four hours this morning trying to put it together. He had spent several hours at it yesterday and couldn't build it, even though he can always do Lego sets by himself, and I told him I'd help today. No good. The Lego-type bricks will not stay together and as the previous review says, if you finally do get to put a piece or two together, when you try to add something else it falls apart again. I was seriously considering Superglue.
I loved the original Knex set which we bought for my son a few years ago, and which just consisted of the plastic shapes which click together with rods. The brick aspect of the sets though are poorly made and it's very frustrating for children to not be able to put these together.

I bought this for my 5yr old son and wish I hadn't. It is not easy at all to put together every time you put a piece on another piece fell of and even when I did get it all to stay together it fell apart as soon as my son started to play with it. The knex parts were fine but the bricks are hopeless will be sticking with Lego in future.

Frustration

The motor is pretty cool, but that's about it. My 6-year-old son was excited to have a K'nex truck, but he couldn't build it himself, so I had to help. The instructions are OK, but not as good as Lego products -- and the "Lego-style" bricks will not stay together for anything, and come apart in the middle of building. When you go to repair the broken section, another part self-destructs. If you do finally get the truck together, you will be attempting to rebuild it within minutes.
Save yourself the frustration and buy your kid something actually made by Lego.

Tried to do this several times over the last few months with my 5-year-old son and have never gotten the "lego" style pieces to fit and stay together. We were going to get some crazy glue out tonight to try to get them to stay, but he lost interest after it kept falling apart when we'd start the next step. I will be throwing the whole thing away after he goes to sleep tonight.

Frustrating Series

We have all four sets from this Knex line. Compared to other Knex sets these are not nearly as good. The idea is good but they do nto stay together well and the reason we bought all 4 sets was so they could build the big model. They are good for imagination and building other things but be ready if your child gets frustrated because after their hard work parts fall apart unlike their Lego sets that can go through days of play with what they built and not fall apart. They have built all four vehicles and each has had issues with pieces coming apart. Short of gluing not sure how to make them stick better.
I would never pay more than $8 a set for these things.
THey are good for adding pieces to your other sets but again do not expect them to be like Legos.
