1 Star Disapponting
We love Legos and K’nex so we were excited about a new building toy that would work with both. We were so excited about the product, we bought a few sets to build on vacation. After building a couple of things, we were so disapponted with the system we gave it away. Pieces are difficult to put together, break easily and create flimsy final products.

5 Stars Great Toy
This is an awesome toy for kids who like to create. I like it even more than I do Legos and K’nex. It is limitless in its diversability and its ability to use recyled items (popsicle sticks, plastic grocery bags, empty water bottles, and others) make it even better for teaching children to use their imagination. Even my three-year-old is building awesome things.

1 Star Don’t waste your money
I bought this for my K’nex obsessed son because they supposedly work with K’nex. I suppose they do, but they BREAK. In fact they break ALL the time! Evidently it’s something the manufacturer is quite aware of because there’s an illustration in the instruction book about how you can use them in their new forms when they break!

My son decided to stick with his K’nex and I’m out an Uber lot of money.

5 Stars Uber Cool!
My boys have been entranced with this building set (they have the starter and uberpult). They are dedicated legomaniacs, but UberStix have expanded their repertoire considerably. And I love the several pp in the instructions that are dedicated to “if this piece breaks, it can now be utilized in the following ways. . .!” A very new way of thinking for a toy company! (But none have broken yet!)
