User Ratings and Reviews

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!)

5 Stars fun educational toy
As someone who grew up with Sesame Street, Legos, K’nex, and Erector, I felt like this was the perfect toy for my 2-year-old niece. Although my she is much more fascinated with anything that has Dora or Spongebob on the label, I find that this Cookie Monster building set is still a great way for us to connect and for me to help teach her vocabulary and how to follow a plan.

4 Stars It is good stuff for toddlers
I am not a great review so in short words it is worth to buy this toy. it will keep you kid busy for quite some time.

3 Stars Very Frustrating Toy
My 3 year old LOVES the Sesame Street characters and for some time, loved this toy. He got all of the characters for Christmas. The only problem is they constantly fall apart. My son will put it together and begin to play with it and an arm will fall off. Then while fixing the arm, a leg will fall off and so on and so on. After a few times of this, my son starts to get frustrated and then starts to cry. I could understand the falling apart if he was an unusually rough type of child during play time, but that is not the case.

I emailed K’nex customer service and 3 weeks later haven’t heard from them.

I guess Santa wasted his money on these toys this year. Buyers Beware!

4 Stars Great for small grandkids.
Purchased this for Christmas and brought it to my Son and daughter-in-laws in New York. It was a few days after Christmas, so I didn’t have to compete with a pile of toys in the room. We opened up the set and I was pleasantly surprised to find how easy it was for Grant to play with. Grant will be three in August and this is one of his first “buildable” toys where you can interchange the pieces for different types of units. It was really helpful to have the two or three sheets of color pictures of end results if you used different pieces in the set. I would reccommend this to anyone for two to five year olds.

1 Star Constantly falls apart
The toy looked so cute, but it constantly comes apart. The legs are especially badly designed and the toy keeps on falling over.
