3 Stars Don’t order from Education Station
This is a great set!! But I do advise you to order it from someplace other than the education station, there customer service is the worst I have ever encountered. I placed my order on March 25th and payed for two day shipping to get it in time for my son’s birthday…needless to say my item didn’t arrive until March 31st. I contacted the company and all i got out of them was arrogancy. Furthermore after I left feedback on the company the lied and said they had never talked with me before which they know is a lie and when I confronted them about it the following is what they told me in their exact words: “Fair enough…. I’m not going to explain anything anymore. Let’s do us both a favor. Let’s do not do business ever again.”

This quote came from the President of the company.

5 Stars Duplo community workers ranked by Grandma
I bought the set of Community Workers by DUPLO for my grandson’s 4th birthday, and he loves them. He is able to build and insert people with ease even tho he is a gross motor person! Also, the variety in the careers of the “workers” afforded quite a bit of learning on his part.

Great service by the Amazon provider. Thanks.

4 Stars Lego Community Workers Set
My kids love this LEGO Set. It comes with a lot of pieces for all different kinds of workers. The set is a little pricey and the pieces are VERY small–very easy to lose and you must be very careful if there are kids under 3 in the house.

5 Stars Great Set!
My kids love this set! Ages 4,4,7,12, and 15 all have a blast with it!

5 Stars Educational but fun!
I purchased the community workers last year for my first grade class. The boys in the class love playing with legos but now will complete any amount of work to be able to play with the “Lego” men. I purchased it for my 6 year old grandson this year. He and his friends play with it constantly. Great present for the money.

5 Stars Wonderful Lego set!
This Lego set is great, most Lego sets have hundreds of pieces, but they are counting the itty little ones. This set has all big bricks in normal colors. It is great to add to a collection, so you can have lot of big pieces for the big build.

5 Stars grandkids love it!
I bought this for when my grandkids come to visit. It occupies them for a great length of time and also enables them to use their imagination and be creative. Great!

5 Stars Superb Set
We have had this set for some time now. Legos are wonderful, particularly the non theme type legos. They expand a child’s imagination. They encourage creative play and they are durable, long lasting and fun to play with it. They are also quiet and require more than a button push to make some event happen.

In our house you can not have enough legos. This is a great set to expand your child’s basic lego blocks. There is a good ratio of all colors and a wide ranges of sizes within this set.

Well worth the money.

Enjoy.

4 Stars Fast Delivery and got what I bargained for
This arrived a week before the other “new” lego items I ordered, which was a delight when my grandson came to visit. When I first received the envelope of pieces, I felt like it should have been much bigger. I emailed Jim and asked for some windows, doors and wheels and he sent them in two days. I had envisioned they would come in the same plastic box as the “new” set, but found a plastic box that works fine. All in all, this is just what was described and arrived in two days! I’m a happy grandmother.

5 Stars Can’t beat basic Legos!
Great assortment of basic Legos for younger kids who would not benefit from the fancier Lego sets. Also, a nice way to avoid the commercialization of Legos that has taken place over the years.

5 Stars He Never Tires of His Legos!…
I purchased this set at Wal-mart for my son when he was about a year old. At that point he was a little too young to have the patience to sit and attach the blocks together. However, now, at almost 16 months, this is one of the first things he goes for in his playroom.

He’s figured out to connect the blocks, but is still a bit young to really make anything, such as a house or building. The size of the pieces are great for his clumsy little hands, large enough that he can grasp them and stick them together. He LOVES the little car that comes with, and plays with it all the time. I also really like that this is a toy we can play with together, it’s not something he loses interest in after a few minutes.

Overall, I definitely recommend Duplo Legos! I’ll absolutely be buying more sets as he continues to grow. I was a huge fan of Lego’s as a child, and I’m thrilled that my son gets so much enjoyment out of them as well!

5 Stars Ultimate Legos
Our grandson (18 mos.) loves playing with his Lego Duplo Building set. He is learning how to put them together and take them apart. He is also learning to identify different colors. Well worth the money.

5 Stars Good Starter Set
This is a good starter set, one can never have enough duplos, but this set includes a useful number of bricks plus a wheeled base for making cars, and a little guy. My 2 year old and 5 year old love playing with them.

3 Stars Quantity has been drastically cut
I bought this same set for my daughter about six years ago. I went to buy the same set for my son and was disgusted to see that what had 140 pieces just a few years ago now only has 71 pieces for the same price.

5 Stars Two HOURS of fun on a plane ride
My son turned two the day we took a long flight. He played with the bricks for TWO HOURS on the plane. He loves, loves the bricks, both by themselves and with a few characters purchased as part of another set. The characters go a long way.

This is a nice little set with all of the basic bricks needed plus the fun of a small building plate and a person. We also bought a large building plate 15 X 15 which is great.

5 Stars average deal
same bucket you can buy in the store for about the same price as walmart. the legos are good not a huge amount in there but a good starter set.

5 Stars Perfect Toy
It’s Legos! Everybody loves Legos. It doesnt break. It last forever. My 4 and 6 years old boys love them. I need to supervise those tiny pieces to make sure they put those tiny pieces back in the tub or they will be lost in the house! They lost two tiny pieces before and I found them about three or four days later in the washing machine after the laundry was done! (it was in their pocket or something, ha!)

4 Stars Great starting set for young Lego builders
This is the set to get your four and five year old kids hooked on Legos. This set includes instructions on building several small Lego models. The models are at just the right level of difficulty for young Lego builders. Also, this set has just the right number of pieces for this age of builder; you don’t want a gazillion pieces around for novice builders, because they won’t be able to find the pieces they need. Once they master working on these models, they will want bigger, more complicated models, which means you will have to acquire another set. But you will want to keep this one around for when friends/relatives with young kids drop by to keep them busy.

The downside of this package is that the instructions occasionally called for a colored piece that wasn’t available, requiring the use of a different colored piece. Not a big deal really, but it confused my 5-year old son who was trying to complete the helicopter.

5 Stars Grest Blocks
We gave the Ultimate Lego Building Set to our grandson. He loves it. It does not tie him down to one project, but lets him use his imagination to build many things. He has a lego set that builds a truck, but once he had built the truck it sat there while he built things wit the Ultimate set.

4 Stars Great for Lego Lovers
I bought this for my 4 year old son for his birthday. He loves legos. This tote keeps everything together and in one place. I wish they offered a box with more legos in it. 400 seems like a lot but really we needed more. All of my children love building and using the legos for fun and math.

4 Stars Fun and a great learning tool
My son just turned 5 and loves Star Wars and recently became interested in Legos. Although the instructions are easy for him to follow because they are just pictures, sometimes it does call for adult interaction on the smaller pieces and stickers. Its a great hour or so for us to spend together while we build it and then he plays for hours with it along with the other sets. Only down side is the small pieces and if it breaks you have to pull the instructions out again..but that is expected with all lego sets like this.

4 Stars Anakin fighter is a must for little boys
This is one of my son’s favorite lego set. It’s actually pretty durable and very bright in colors. Even though after rough playing, some parts come apart, it’s pretty easy to put them back together. Also, Anakin and R4 figure is great since you “need” those figures to play pretend Star Wars.

5 Stars Legos are great!!!
My 10 yr old son loves putting these together. Only problem is they’re easily destroyed by younger siblings. DO NOT BUY if you have children in the house that still put things in their mouth. CHOKING HAZARD!!! But if this is not a problem than I highly recommend these toys.

5 Stars LEGO Star Wars Fan!
My son received this for his 5th birthday, and absolutely loves it! He loves LEGOS and Star Wars! He enjoys playing pretend Star Wars with the Anakin & R2 D2 characters that are included. Once it is put together, which by the way is fast and simple, it really is pretty durable. I have another son who is 6 yrs. old, and together they play w/ these Star Wars sets, and for the most part, they (the spaceships) stay intact. Then again, it doesn’t really matter if they break because half the fun is crashing them….you can’t play Star Wars without crashing spacecrafts according to my sons! We will definitely continue purchasing these Star Wars sets!

5 Stars Really nice – much better than Hasbro garbage!
My son loves lego Star Wars sets. He doesn’t even break them apart because they look so good. He actually avoids Hasbro Star Wars toys because we had really bad experiences with those toys falling apart and being cheaply made. You can honestly depend on Lego to make kick butt toys well worth their money. Really happy with the purchase.
