LEGO Ultimate Building Set – 405 Pieces (6166) Customer Reviews

Rating:  Toy dollars well spent, March 24, 2008

By Rocco (Philadelphia)

This review is from: LEGO Ultimate Building Set – 405 Pieces (6166) (Toy)

No they are not cheap. No the box isn't full to even half capacity. But these toys are still around for a reason: they rock. More specifically, they are indestructible, offer immense replay value, encourage creative quiet and thoughtful play, promote fine motor skill development, and they are just plain fun. 

Think about the countless cheap $3.99 and $4.99 soft plastic throw away toys you've bought over the years: invariably imported and with unknown lead content, cost pennies to make, including the polly pockets, fairies, mermaids, bratz, little ponies, strawberry shortcakes, littlest petz, etc.

All of those toys are very restrictive in the type of play they permit, fall apart, and lose your child's interest after a few days.. until you buy another worthless set for their next "fix." 

In the case of legos i would argue that if you just refrain from buying those cheap blister packed toys for a few months you will have saved more than enough to get this or another "flexible" set of legos. I don't care for the elaborate lego sets that have you follow intricate instructions to build a pirate ship, or harry potters house, or a star wars backdrop,etc. Those are just as restrictive and inflexible in their play. 

So get this set or something similar as soon as you are sure your kid won't choke on a brick. It is something they will play with now and in the future. You'll beat inflation, you'll have it for future kids you might have, or those who might visit, and it will always have excellent resale value on e_bay… Read more

Rating:  Classic starter set for ANY age, August 7, 2010

This is the lego set of kids dreams! Comes with many pieces in mixed sizes and colours. Also comes with a green plate in the top to display any of your lego creations.

The box is sturdy, see-through top is a mom's best friend, and the collection that comes with this box does not fill it up to the top, so you can add additional Legos that you buy later or already have!

GREAT STORAGE BOX, I absolutely love it! Box is not big or obnoxious for easy storage anywhere. If your kid loves Legos, and needs a great place to store them: Get this box! If your child is new to Lego: Buy this box, its a great starter set for any age!… Read more

This is a great toy. Lots of lego parts come in this container, and there is alot of room to put more legos in the box. Makes great storage. Very great value and buy. Definitely recommend. My 11 year old son loves it, and I love that it cleans up easy into the container and fits many of his other lego parts…. Read more
