This review is from: LEGO Toy Story 7592 Construct-a-Buzz (Toy)
Having already bought the Woody and Buzz to the Rescue set, my expectations for this model were high. This model, overall is very good, but there are little niggling problems.
On the plus side, the model looks very impressive, standing at about 8-9 inches tall, and it has a lot of articulation. It has ball and socket joints on the ankles, hips, shoulders and wrists, as well as swivel joints on the waist and neck, and hinge joints on the wings. Therefore, a lot of movement can be had, and you can pose it in lots of positions. For the collector, this model would be great due to some unique elements, such as the hands, and little alien minifigure. However, as a play thing, it's not 100pc perfect as the wings fall off very easily. Conversely if you just wanted to stand it on your desk, its hard to get it to stand upright. The age range of this toy is 7-14, but I feel it is too hard for any child under 10 unless they had parental help, or were very experienced. There are a lot of 'rotations' in the instructions, making it a bit complicated, unless your very attentive and patient. It took me 25-30mins to build and i've been making lego sets for almost 20 years. The average under 10 with at least some experience of lego would take about an hour or so. An older kid may be a bit faster. For younger builders, putting the ball and socket joints together may be tricky. I would not recommend this as a first lego set, something like the Army Men on Patrol is more suitable for beginners. Overall: Still a fun and unusal set, with the head and visor particularly cool, as well as the little rocket that can be 'fired' from the left arm. A bit tricky for younger kids, unless help is given, and not durable enough for rough play. As a learning peice of lego, if your child can build this in a hour, they've done well. It is tricky, but the final result is quite pleasing. Not perfect, but still unusual and fun. I'd give the model 8/10.

This review is from: LEGO Toy Story 7592 Construct-a-Buzz (Toy)
My son chose this to spend his birthday money on and we encouraged him, as Lego is a quality toy. He is nearly six, and although one of us sat with him whilst he built it, we were quite impressed that he managed to follow the instructions and put most of it together himself. It took quite a long time and he did it in two sessions but enjoyed it. The model looks great - but then what do you do with it? Naturally he expected to be able to play with it, but bits fall off as soon as you pick it up or if you try to get it to stand up and it topples over. A couple of weeks later, and Buzz is now back to being a box full of bricks, lots of them special shapes. I suspect that when/if we try to put him together again (don't lose the booklet as you will never do it without it!) some bits will have gone missing. At some point, no doubt, we will give up and drop all the bits in with the rest of the lego and perhaps Buzz will find his head stuck on some other creation.
This is the first time we have bought one of the 'themed' sets, rather than, say, lego for building vehicles or buildings etc and we won't make the same mistake again. If you want your child to have fun building with lego over and over, buy one of the mixed sets....and if they want to play with Buzz then buy a Buzz toy.

Son had a wonderful time building Buzz, but once he was made, that was it- kept falling apart. Great to have on display and show off to friends though. Nice product
