Paraphrased from public owner reviews. Each one links to where it was posted.
Bought a second set after a smaller one from his 3rd birthday; the 100-piece set was the right addition and he plays with it every day.
A grandkid favorite with many possibilities, but you need add-on kits to do more than a basic build; pricey, good quality.
