Not what it "used to be..."Jan 07, 2009
By Caleb J. Purdy
While these Lincoln Logs are great... and they are wooden..., if you were a kid in the 70s you'd remember that there were 4 notches on the longest stick on which to build great big log cabins and forts, etc. These came with some new adaptations, of which most were acceptable, however, the longest stick was the 3 notched log and so... the saga of putting together incredible log structures has diminished to that of smaller less creative imagination creations. Don't get me wrong, it still is almost all that a collectors edition ought to be sans the 4 notch and the multitude of ideas/ directions for building the structures is missing. Kind of like buying the "little" 1 vehicle model of Legos instead of the "whole kit" version. Fun... just not quite the same!

 Not like they used to beApr 30, 2009
By Margot

I haven't even opened the bags holding the wooden logs yet, so won't comment on them. There are definitely fewer of them than the set I had as a child.
The other reviewer who commented on the toxic smell was right - it's potent. Luckily I was buying for myself, not a child. I once bought a mahjong box imported from China with the same smell...2 years later, it hasn't gone away.
The tin is thin and cheap. My childhood set (from the '70s) came in a cardboard tube with a plastic top, and it was infinitely more sturdy than this "collectible" tin. In addition, the top was held on with clear tape that left a thick sticky residue when I removed it. I once bought a popcorn tin at a dollar store that suffered from the same problem.... I didn't expect it with this tin, for $30+. Sad. And I have to add $3 to the price I paid for the tin just for the naphtha I used trying to remove the residue! I also had to be extremely careful, so as not to bend the cheapo tin or its lid.
On the plus side, the logs seem to be better stained than the set I had as a kid - darker and more uniform, especially the green ones. Of course, as I said, I haven't actually opened the bags yet.

Nothing stays the same...Jan 18, 2009
By nature nut
When my adult son told me he thought this was the best present he ever received - I decided to get a set for the grandchildren. I guess they were
"as advertised", but not great by a long shot. There are flaws in the specs, and only enough to make one building at a time anyway. I guess I
should have known it couldn't be the same....

 Not GoodFeb 25, 2010
By W. Dedman
Spend your money on something else. This is a 100pcs set with 56 of them 1" long with one notch. I think we would have to buy 6 of the sets and toss out most of the pcs to make something useful or even close to what we remember Lincoln logs to be.

Disappointed. Only a minimal amount of pieces for the high price.Dec 26, 2010
By Amazon fan
I was very disappointed. This big, beautiful fancy metal container contains 100 pieces, as advertised (however, container is only half-full). I was disappointed to find that it did not have an adequate amount of building pieces to be very creative. Sure, a person can build the cabin on the box photo, but not much more. The Lincoln Log toys from years ago had far more building logs and roof pieces. One can only be so creative with this pricey kit. Until the company puts more building pieces inside (at a more economical price), I will be looking for Lincoln Logs at garage sales.
