 Still an awesome toyJul 12, 2005
By Robert LaGrasse
If you're reading this, odds are you grew up playing with an Erector set and you're now considering one for your child. The good news is they're still just as cool as they were when you had one. The materials have actually been improved. The straight peices are now completely flat, rather than the beveled sides they used to ship in the old sets. They're made of a more rigid metal as well. This allows for a little more flexability in what your kids can design and build. At first I thought the price was a little steep, but my 8 year old has easily gotten $100 worth of enjoyment out of this set. I actually ended up buying another set to ship to a relative for his upcoming birthday, so yes, you're getting what you pay for.

This Item Is Totally AWSOME!!Nov 29, 2004
This toy is so cool. The day I got it I opened it up to find tons of pieces and instructions. I spent a lot of time just building the models that were in my head. This is sooo cool. If you buy this, you are NOT wasting you'r money.

Brings back memoriesAug 15, 2007
By JD
My son loves to build things. He has a huge Lego collection but I thought it was time to take it up a notch to a more intricate construction set. After researching a number of construction sets, I decided on the good 'ol Erector set. I had one as a boy and my dad had one when he was little. I'm glad I went with the Special Edition because it comes with detailed instructions to build about 15 or 17 different structures. Many other Erector set kits only have one design, such as a race car or train. I'm not saying they wouldn't add educational value but once it's built, it's built. The whole point is to find a toy which can be used over and over again. The Special Edition does just that. My 9-year old son loves it. In fact, my 7-year old daughter plays with it too and I'm happy about that. I think the eye-hand coordination, thought process to intrepret instructions, and the spatial thinking needed to understand how the parts go together benefits all who play with it. I'd like to see additional instructions offered so the fun can continue. Not sure what will happen after the last of the 17 kits is put together. Highly recommended.

 Erector setJan 18, 2007
By Marilyn Warner
The set itself seems to be good. However, what is not good is the beginning age listed on it. This was given to a very bright eight year old who has no trouble putting together lego sets with 700+ pieces by himself. He takes radios apart and puts them back together. But He had trouble following the directions on this erector set. He might enjoy it in a few years, but for now it did not provide him with what we had hoped.

Erector Special Edition SetApr 28, 2008
By Donald D. Logan
Contrary to other reviews I've read, I am totally satisfied with this product. Even though it is not of the quality of older sets (what is today) it still entertains and trains young minds.
The set was received on time in perfect condition. Because of some of the reviews we had read concerning missing parts, we inventoried the contents and found everything as listed in the manual.
We anticipate many years of enjoyment as we enjoy our grandchildren getting the same enjoyment we received many many years ago.
