Wonder Gears Building Set (81-Pieces)

This is a good toy for encouraging creativity but let down by poor quality plastic.. on the first day of careful use by my husband with our grandsons several small pieces broke and were no longer usable.

This is a brilliant toy but the quality of the plastic used isn't the best at all, this product could be so much better.

Great idea but made with very cheap plastic. Very easy to break and also quite difficult to prise apart to rebuild (adult using it). On the plus side I am looking forward to building it with my grandchildren.

Plastic not really durable enough for the job - breaks if not very carefully treated which is difficult when trying to take spacers out of plates

Grandsons enjoyed it but would have been helpful to have instructions on how to build everything featured

Made with cheap plastic. Quite flimsy for a 3 year old to build things with and it’s not as easy to build with (even for an adult). Good concept though.

Great product speedy delivery

Bought for my grandson for Xmas only to find a number of the pieces where missing of which was a shame as he does enjoy building things

Very intriguing, and educational, for a young mechanical mind.

First of all, my 3.5 year old son and I loved Wonder Gears. It really is educational, boosts creativity, intriguing and fun. Gets him thinking and doing and redoing. However, I have to take lots of care with my younger baby, since there are small parts that are a choking hazard, and 3-4 year olds still aren't the best at cleaning up and keeping things together. But I still think its worth it since it gets my son away from the TV and doing something more interesting.My only two issues with the product (which are the reason why I left out the fifth star) are:1) The red connectors sometimes demand some force to fit into the gears and may break easily. The parts are not easy to assemble and seem a bit light and flimsy. It makes me think that an upgrade in the type and firmness of the plastic might be a huge improvement.2) The stickers are beautiful but if you put them on the gears, it covers up the little holes and prevents that piece from being used in a different arrangement and the fun part is taking it apart and making something different. So I haven't let my son use the stickers. It would be interesting to think of a solution for that.If these adjustments where made, making the toy last longer, I would even pay more for this toy.

Not a good item. Not sturdy, falls apart easily and putting the prongs into the gears is very difficult. If these were made of stronger material they would be better. I had a hard time putting them together, and then they would not stay together. Do not recommend.

So far, only 2 of our grandchildren have had a chance to play with it. They are girls, 4 and 7. The 4-year-old made a car this evening and put the 6 bears we have in it. She had the gears on both sides of the car by using both motors that we have, but it wasn't self-propelling or anything. She enjoyed it, and her 7 year old sister made a house for her with chairs for the bears in it. So...they're not using it like it's meant to be used, but they're having fun. My husband tried earlier to build the car pictured on the insert, but couldn't figure it out. So it's not easy. The 7-year-old made a hand-operated block of gears that was really neat. Both of the girls seems drawn to play with Gears. I can't wait for some of my other grandchildren to try it.

Our grandkids love this, and so do my husband and I. The gears provide excellent opportunities for creativity and problem-solving. We have 2 sets and sometimes use both motors on one large structure. So much fun and quite educational!

My six-year-old grandson loves playing with this set. I bought two so he could make more elaborate structures as he got older. He is learning principles of machinery, and it provides special bonding time for him and his engineer grandfather.

My three nieces, ages 7, 15, and 27, were equally enthralled with the Gears kit. They built a variety of models and were excited at how easily they could manipulate the pieces. I highly recommend this engaging and learning toy.

I can't even give this as a donation let alone as a gift for my 5 year old grandchildren.* The box was shipped in an ENVELOPE and was crushed.* Even though advertised as new, the box had been opened* the entire box is written in Chinese. the only thing in English is "Made in China"* there were NO INSTRUCTIONS* the pieces were flimsy and hard to put togetherthis doesn't even deserve 1 star and I'm very unhappy. plus now I have to go shopping to find gifts for the grands

I ordered two boxes of wondergears for my 5 year old son, and it was amazing experience!! Finally I found a educational toy for my child... it's very hard to find a good toy those days. We have fun last weekend with the wondergears: we build letters and geometrical shapes!! I definitely will recommend it!!

I was really excited to get these for my boys for Christmas. As kids, they were excited to see how the gears went together and what could be made with them. The product is a good idea, but it is really poorly made. I find little pieces breaking off all. the. time! Very frustrating. The plastic is brittle and breaks off easily and this momma is not impressed. Since I purchased it for Christmas, it's way past the time for me to return the items. I suggest researching similar items from different companies. My Sister-in-law got some similar to these but way better quality. I found myself a little jealous.

Two of my grandchildren loved creating things with this set. One is a7year old girl and the other is a 5 year old boy. They helped each other create a playground .

I purchased one set for a grandchild last year. He asked for more this year. I bought two sets and a daughter bought him another set. So he has a total of 4 sets. They love them and are very creative with how they use these tools.These are great toys.

My granddaughter play with these a lot. My only regret is that I didn't purchase them sooner. Perfect for little growing minds.

Bought for grandsons who love duplo/legos. My husband and our 4.5 year old were a bit daunted when the opened the box. After some discussion they started creating. My grandson was so excited to show me what they built. They built several different things and had a GREAT time!

Very good product for the price...very happy with how it works...lots of different ways to combine gears...my daughter had a good time building with themCons: pieces (both bricks and gears) are a bit flimsy and don't connect with the same tightness like legos, for example
