 Great product!Jul 23, 2010
My son loves Erector sets and I got this one for him as a gift about 6 months ago. He loves it, the motorized tool can be used as a drill or the motor in the finished product, great idea. I think it could be a touch more powerful and to that get better battery life too. but overall this is great to add to a set you have, the sky is the limit when you build with erector! Great buy!
 Poor construction , waiting on a replacement partJan 11, 2010
My son received this as a gift for Christmas. The day after Christmas he wanted to assemble it. We found out that the tool (allen wrench) at the end of the power tool was assembled backwards making not usable to put together the toy. That was what he was most looking forward to using.... a power tool! We emailed the company with a complaint and request for a replacement part. There hasn't been a response from the company nor have we received the part yet. After reading the reviews, I'm about ready to return it instead but I feel bad for him. He was so excited. How can a company that has assembly toys, assemble the parts backwards??? hmmmm... not a well put together toy.

 Great building toy!Dec 27, 2009
I don't get the other reviews. This thing went together well and works as advertised. As construction toys go, I've paid more for toys that promise more and deliver less. Granted, this thing is no babysitter - if you're considering it for a seven year old, you'll want to build it together. I bought it as a gift for my son on an impulse, and I almost returned it when I got home and read the reviews. Glad I didn't. If you have a kid that likes building and motors, and you enjoy building things together and then seeing a satisfying product at the end that actually does what you expect, then you'll think this is great.

 Worst toy ever!Aug 19, 2009
It's hard for me to believe that this thing ever made it out the door. Did no one test this thing before they manufactured it? Granted, the concept is cool. My 9 year old son was giddy when he saw the box, purchased for his birthday. But then it was all down hill quick from there. The little black plugs are hard to get in and even harder to get out. The illustrations on the instructions are so poor, it is near impossible to tell which piece you are supposed to use. In the end, my 15 year old daughter had to pretty much build the whole thing for my 9 year old son, who can otherwise put together a complex Lego set in minutes. Even she had an extremely difficult time getting it together. Then the icing on the cake was when it was all finally assembled (she started with the car), it fell apart. The wheels, for instance are held on by friction. Who thought that was a good idea? I got the same results as all the other reviewers. My son was so disappointed, he asked me to take it back, which I promptly did. This is NOT the Erector quality I had experienced as a kid. Far, far from it. Just cheaply made, plastic junk that does not work. Avoid this thing like the plague, or risk disappointment.

Again...JUNK!!!May 23, 2009
I realize this toy was only $30, but this is the biggest piece of junk I have ever seen. I put this together exactly like the instructions said and tighten everything good and snug, and the thing fell apart in my hands as I was putting it together. They use little rubber grommets instead of clips to hold shafts in place. These grommets fall off before you even get it together. The new quick screws are a joke, they don't hold together for anything.
I had an erector set when I was a child, and thought that it would be a great gift for my children to play with. But this toy is nothing like the one i had as a child. The poor quality of this product is absolutely disgusting and I would never buy another product from this company again. I would not recommend this toy or any other products from this company to anyone.
