I expect more from Lego - Farrar M. Williams - Washington, DC United States
This Lego set frustrated my kids and I can see why. One of the pieces isn't the size depicted and therefore doesn't fit properly, though you can put the whole thing together by positioning it slightly differently. In the many Lego set constructions I've overseen in the last couple years, I've never had that happen! Also, I know Lego sets can fall apart when played with, but in most kits, most of the pieces are held in place in multiple points, making it a little harder. Not so with this one - the pieces kept falling apart as the kids put it together. They got it together, but my son just said disappointedly, "I think it's too fragile to play with." My kids are excited about the Atlantis line, so I'm hoping that the others are at least a little better designed.

Collect them all - M&M Catboy - Chicago, Illinois, USA
This is the first set in my LEGO Atlantis collection. Not disappointed. Cool pieces. Not too expensive at $[...].

LEGO Monster 4 Game (3837)

LEGO Monster 4 Game (3837) Review



My 6-year old son got this in his Easter Basket this year. He loves this game, and anything Lego. The game is basically like tic-tac-toe, but it is with four pieces in a row. He seemed to quickly understand the game rules and the concept of the joker/wild skeletons and the scary spider. The box is extra sturdy so it can take extra wear with travel. My son takes it with him everywhere and loves to play with anyone, or by himself - rolling the die for two different characters. He's now starting to redesign the game board and pieces to his own liking and creativity. Definitely recommend.



LEGO Monster 4 Game (3837) Feature


  • 1 buildable LEGO® Dice
  • 1 rule booklet
  • Building instructions
  • 2 to 4 players
  • 142 pieces



LEGO Monster 4 Game (3837) Overview


Night has fallen in the graveyard and the monsters have come out to play with their skeletons. The first to get four of their monsters in a row wins. But watch out for the scary spider! Includes 1 buildable LEGO dice, 142 LEGO bricks, building instructions, and rule booklet.

All Connect 4 Fun in LEGO Madness - Connie L. Roberts - Sierra Vista, AZ
We are a LEGO household with two LEGO masters in this house, ages 11 and 12. When I saw this game, I thought what a great concept! Not only do you get to play a cool game, you get to make the game board!

The kids absolutely loved it! The die--you even build that!--was a fun addition to this game. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys LEGOS. We're going to be getting the other games this year, too.


Pretty cool - Jonathan M. sauls -
This is an ok game....very fun to build...the game seems a little difficult for younger children to play but I would recommend it to all who love legs....

LEGO Prince of Persia Quest Against Time (7572)

LEGO Prince of Persia Quest Against Time (7572) Review



We are talking about LEGO, so generally only a few things can go wrong. Definitely a buy, but here are three of the bad points:

1. Some of the pieces fit too loosely together (laxed quality control?). Not too happy with that and will most likely ask LEGO for replacement parts.

2. The tip of the dagger is too soft!!! When you stick it into the hole to turn on the light switch, it bends. Do that enough times, and you will end up ruining a prized LEGO piece.

3. I had a hard time putting on Princess Tamina's hairpiece straight, while the cape is also on. (The point formed by the folded neck area of the cape is right on the ponytail. I think you will know what I mean when you try it yourself.)



LEGO Prince of Persia Quest Against Time (7572) Feature


  • Set includes 4 minifigures: Dastan, Princess Tamina, Nizam and Hassansin leader with two snakes
  • Gauntlet functions: Spinning saw blade, swords swinging in, tree trunk with spikes spinning in the middle of the room, pillars to jump on, "exploding" column
  • Studs on walls and columns to encourage parkoir play
  • Also includes Dagger of Time and Sand of Time light brick
  • 506 pieces

    Includes 4 minifigures and a light-up brick, too! Awesome mazes, snakes, spinning blades too! Will your figures survive these horrors?

Harry Potter Wizard Chess

Harry Potter Wizard Chess Review



Looking at pictures, you'd think it was a flawless chess set: The pieces look great, but it's also very clear which is which (none of this "pitcher is the queen, first baseman is a rook" nonsense). However, the knights invade other squares, and make for a very cluttered feel, which is augmented by too-tall queen/king/bishops. The knights are also top-heavy, and prone to tip.
The box is made out of cardstock, my pieces quickly moved to a Rubbermaid to stay safe, and was kind of frustrating in it's PC, 10 (no exaggeration) language diversity.
The foldable board didn't bother me, except for it's size, and it's tendency to lift a bit.
In terms of durability, my pieces have led a hard life, and the only problem is that they slant away from the base, making them even tippier, but nothing's broken.
For , I'm not sure it's the best buy, and am amazed that a set with a tin, bigger, rollable board, and heavy plastic pieces filled with rubber ("double-weight", like most traditional nice sets) is not available.
But on the other hand it was darn fun...

This set is a joke!!!!! - Chris A. Kantack - Bellingham, WA United States
My wife bought me this set for Christmas when it first came out (for about ). I thought it was a rip off at that price. The pieces are made of soft plastic and are way too large for the flimsy cardboard board that comes with the set. The Knight pieces barely stand up at all as they are top heavy and poorly balanced.

Fortunately the pieces of this set are hollow and we were able to improve our set by using a hot glue gun to glue lead weights inside the base of each piece. Now the pieces are quite playable if one uses a full (tournament-sized) chess board.

The current price that this set sells for is obviously due to its value as a collectable item. If you're looking for a playable chess set, note that you can buy far better (more playable) chess sets for just a fraction of what this set sells for.



Cheap - save your money - DN - Worcester, MA USA
Paper-thin box, flimsy folding cardboard board, and poorly weighted pieces on a crowded board. Save your money and get something better... this set's only selling point is it's link to Harry Potter -- and it's a tenuous link at best.

LEGO Castle Drawbridge Defense (7079)

LEGO Castle Drawbridge Defense (7079) Review



First off, if nothing else, this set is worth it for the minifigs alone. You get an awesome golden knight and a queen, both unique to this set, as well as a standard crown knight and the rare jester minifig. On the evil side of things, you get an awesome grim reaper-esque skeleton with skeleton horse, a black skeleton, and another white skeleton. Seven minifigs is a lot for a set in this price range!

Accessories are cool too! Lots of weapons, including a flail, scythe, golden sword, crossbows, and even axes and glaives used in the tower's decor can come down if needed for a fight scene. The golden knight's armor and helmet are awesome, the shields are neat, and the queen's crown is adorable.

Secondly, the tower itself is impressive. The drawbridge mechanism works well, and the flick-fire ballista is neat too. My only complaint is that there isn't a whole lot of display (or play) room in the tower itself. To remedy this, I bought a seven dollar green baseboard with this set. The entire set fit on it perfectly. I would highly recommend purchasing the baseboard, which is a little extra cost but results in a much more satisfying play or display experience.

I bought this set on a whim, thinking of the Lego castle set I always wanted as a kid. I had fun building it; it's nothing too complex, but interesting anyway. The drawbridge mechanism is a stroke of genius. Also, when I took it home from college, my much younger siblings had a blast playing with it!

In conclusion, you can't beat the minifigs in this set for play or display purposes, and the tower is nice as well. I would recommend this set to any Lego Castle fan! It's a lot of fun, and adding a baseboard makes it even more so!



LEGO Castle Drawbridge Defense (7079) Feature


  • Defend the tower with the included medieval weapons
  • Raise and lower the working drawbridge
  • Drawbridge tower is over 9 inches (22.9cm) tall
  • Includes skeleton horse and 7 minifigures (Golden Knight, princess, jester, knight, and 3 skeletons)
  • 335 pieces

Great For Hands On History! Students Love It! - xoxo - AL USA
Although we homeschool and use a variety of lego sets for Hands On Learning, I'm sure any child even in the public/private sector would benefit from the use of the themed lego sets. They are wonderful teaching tools.

As for general play at home, it's surely to be a big hit with all appropiate ages. We have visitors all the time, and they love it when we pull out the lego.

Great Toy - Denise R. Mason - Allegany, NY
My 10 yr old grandson loves this toy. He enjoyed putting it together at Christmas. Of all his presents, this is one of his favorites. He plays with the little figures and enjoys the moveable parts. Mixes Lego building and action figure/role play well. Would recommend.

LEGO Star Wars Echo Base (7749)

LEGO Star Wars Echo Base (7749) Review



This is a great set. I have the Hoth Rebel Base and it goes really well with it. But it is rather expensive for only about 150 pieces. It comes with great figures and the Ton Ton is great but there should have been either more pieces or it should have cost less. The base is okay but I would rather have had more guys or a snow speeder. Well here are my pros and cons
Pros.
Great figures,
Good turret gun and snowtrooper gun,
Ton Ton,
Cons.
Not enough pieces,
Should have had something besides a little base,
Well I still love this set. There are still some cons but over all it is one of the best Lego Star Wars sets that they have come out with that is still fairly cheap.
I would recommend it to any of my friends especially if you can get one of the new battle packs, either snowtrooper or rebel trooper.

LEGO Prince of Persia Battle of Almut (7573)

LEGO Prince of Persia Battle of Almut (7573) Review



Remember when you where younger and couldn't afford expensive lego sets? I do. That's why when I found this on here for about [...] I thought "Prince of Persia; Lego; AND a castle like set? YES PLEASE!" The set is definitely worth the money. The walls can come off both the front gates and the balcony set up and can be arranged to suit your needs. I currently have one wall detached from the balcony set up and with the wonderful joint pieces it makes for a larger looking, less closed in set. Other facets you may want to know about are the fact that the Prince has a double-sided face (angry and smirky) which is great! It comes with seven figures in all, all of which are great additions to any collection. many of the figures have both their chest and back prepainted with a design. And lastly of note, the walls have those really awesome pieces for figures to appear as though they are running on the wall!

All in all, if you like the prince of persia games, this is definitely a set to get.



LEGO Prince of Persia Battle of Almut (7573) Feature


  • Set includes 7 minifigures: Dastan, Seso, Nizam, Giant Semitar Hassansin , Razor Glove Hassansin and two soldiers
  • Functions: Secret door, small catapults, fire barrel drop, Secret stairs (comes out of the wall so Dastan can run up and surprise the enemy)
  • Studs on walls and columns to encourage parkoir play
  • Hiding place for the secret dagger, Dagger of Time, camel and cross bow included
  • 822 pieces



LEGO Prince of Persia Battle of Almut (7573) Overview


Build your own castle, the mighty Alamut Castle.  Defend your catle from the Nizam and the powerful Hassansin warrior with barrels of dripping oil, rock-launching catapults. Set features 7 minifigures one each of Dastan, Hassansin, Nizam, Seso, Claw Hassansin and 2 guards. Also features Lego Camel and special bricks with studs on wall for parkour play. The fortress gates work as the real ones. Set includes 821 pieces to build the 8" tall and 17" wide Alamut fortress and fully safe guard your fortress.
