Title: Great toy set, but might be difficult for little children to operate...
Review: This is a great set for a little constructor. My 3.5 years old son loves constructing complex stuff with toys therefore to encourage him we have purchased many sets for him (legos, mega blocks, thistle blocks, quercetti tubes) Each offer different fun but this one stands out being the most mobile one.It comes with 95 hard plastic pieces, some are to construct the base plate while another group is to carry the fun to the third dimension (the upright sticks) The rest of the pieces are colorful interdenting gears. Finally it has two handle bits which you need to move the gears round and round.You can put the gears and sticks in various combinations (gears on the side of sticks or sticks on top of gears or gears on top of each other etc.)After some trial and error experience with me (my son and I) we figured out the way they should be aligned to transfer a horizontal rotation to a vertical one. Then my son took over and started building interesting combinations. I am sure he will master it in time.My experience is that the parts are a little stiff which is good for non wobbling steady rotation but bad for the little one to stick them together. So younger children may need some help from the parents.The price ($30) is good considering the number of pieces. Each piece comes to around 30 cents which is lower than many other construction toys. (better than quercetti and lego duplos but slightliy worse than mega blocks.) Besides the storage can is a real good advantage to store it properly after play time.This toy set offers good fun for the little one and helps develop his/her fine motor skills as well as supporting the imagination. Yet it might be difficult to operate or master for younger children. I recommend it to anyone who is after a good toy set at a decent price...

Title: Great gift for imaginative kids!
Review: I bought this for my son when he was 3. Two years later, I’ve come back to write my unbiased review so you have one to trust. At the time, I bought these on a whim and had no idea what I would unlock. For more than 2 full years now, these gears have been played with DAILY. Every. Single. Day. They have held up to crashed airplanes, tidal waves hitting sea creatures, and have been catapulted into castles. Very rarely have they been played with as shown on the product pictures, as my son uses them to build different things every day. Dusty Crophopper (plane), Lightening McQueen (race car), and so much more. Our only regret is sometimes we don’t have enough pieces to build an entire fleet. These creations have an entire shelf for display in his bedroom to feature what he builds each day. This toy is durable, open ended, grows with the child, fits a variety of abilities and ages, and is only limited by imagination. I could not recommend this toy more!

Title: Terriffic set for the young ones
Review: I bought this set for my 4 and 2 year old grandchildren knowing that it contained only one size gear. I had also purchased the Gizmos set that has only 82 pieces, so I thought this would expand it nicely. Well, kids are kids and we (and I do mean we, the three of us) wound up playing with this set by itself. What great fun! The 2 year old took to it like a duck to water and was happily building gear layouts that did nothing but turn. But she love it. Turn the crank and all the gears clattered along, amusing her no end. The 4 year old, who has experience with these at school, was more ambitious. It turned into a race between grandson and grandpa to see who could expand our creation in the most adventurous way. By the end, we had constructed quite a machine that clattered and whirred and used up most of the pieces in the bucket. The verdict: this set by itself is massively fun and entertaining for a 4 year old, a 2 year old and their substantially older grandfather. Having just one size of gear is not a drawback. And this set does work well with the expansion sets. Gears! Gears! Gears! is a great concept and I can see that I will be happily expanding our collection over the months to come. I hope the kids interest in it will be as ardent as mine.Jerry

Title: Worth every penny!
Review: Was hesitant to get this for my 18month old. I thought it would be to complicated. I was completely wrong though, it's been four months and every day he finds a new way to put them together. I can barely keep them put away for more than an hour he spends so much time building. Its helped him with dexterity, colors and shapes! I couldn't ask for a better toy for him.

Title: Excellent but lacks something crucial
Review: This is a great idea of a toy but it lacks something fundamental in the box. It lacks step by step instructions on how to do different shapes. Yesterday I sat with my nephew (4.5 years) to play with it and he wanted to do the 'helicopter' on the box. It was painful but we did it in the end. He was frustrated because we kept redoing things till we got it right. A brilliant toy (highly recommended- the best toy ever) like MAGFORMERS comes with a 4-5 step on how to do a castle or a helicopter or a star or a ball. So it is great for the children to learn. These things can't be improvised I suppose. Today we will try to do the helicopter again so he doesn't feel intimidated with the toy as I think it is a great one.

Title: Good gift
Review: Just a warning- product is a little on The big side if someone is going to take it on the plane. We gave this to a 3 year old who loved it.

Title: Thickness?
Review: Why did Amazon ask me to rate the thickness of these?I didn’t discuss this with my four year old grandson. I just gave these to him and he always finds them entertaining. Kind of the perfect toy. It’s amazing how many little things kids can create with these.Not too baby like simple but not too complex that kids give up.Attaching the handle to one of the gears and connecting several of them and watching them turn is oddly satisfying to watch.Great toy for little kids.

Review: Endless hours of play and endless creations to be made. My children love this so much that I had to purchase a second one of these so the creations could be even more intense. Highly recommend for open ended play and imagination/engineering building

Review: El juego es chulo pero mi hijo (acaba de hacer 5 años) empezó a jugar, le gustó pero enseguida se cansó. Solo jugó un rato ese primer día. No le llama mucho de momento. Quizá es un poco aburrido comparado con otros juegos de construcción.

Review: Ces engrenages ont permis de faire des ateliers en classe dans des situations très attrayantes pour les enfants.Il faut prévoir au moins deux boîtes de jeux pour une classe.Il faudrait par contre un peu plus de supports de base (seulement 8 dans une boîte) quand il est utilisé comme nous le faisons dans le contexte scolaire.Par contre tout à fait adapté dés 4-5 ans pour jouer avec des adultes en famille.
