LEGO Large Baseplate Bundle

Recommended to stretch your existing Lego investment, especially for children who set up characters and scenarios with action based on land or water.

The extra land (and water, the blue pieces) helps my child set up complex and imaginative scenarios and fix them in place, then move different pieces forward and around. He's a WWII buff, and orderly lines of vehicles and people are important in his play. Watch your own kids' play before deciding -another child, by contrast, built spaceships for years, and never asked for or needed any land in over ten years of lego-play. His creations swooped through the air.

The one baseplate we already had (which could have been 10 or more years old) was a thicker plastic, these are a bit thin and could easily be cracked by carelessly stepping on them.

It's a subtle gift, kids don't really know you can get extra parts like these, they are focused on the big pictures on the boxes they see at the stores. It was well-received and the pieces are in constant use.

Great to add to Lego play, but we thought all the plates were the large ones.Only one large gray one and three smaller green ones.FYI

Kids love the smaller plates and can connect them with legos to buiild roads. Biggest one's corner was bent slightly whenit arrived and it seems more flimsy (probably b/c of large size)than the others.

Overall, nice product more $ than I thought it was worth though. In hindsight, I might have bought plates individually in store for less $ than the set online.

We received this as a gift for my 5 year old son.The first one arrived with a broken corner on the largest plate.The purchaser requested another one and instructed them to use more padding or a larger box.A second set was shipped in exactly the same way as the first, again with a broken corner on the largest piece.We are now waiting for the third shipment.Hopefully all pieces will be intact this time.

The largest piece is considerably flimsier than the other 3 smaller pieces.Once it gets bent, it's just a matter of time before the white line turns into a crack and the piece breaks off.My son and daughter (and husband) are enjoying playing with them until that happens.

I bought this product because I've got a few Lego models that I wanted to put on a better display.The plates work fine, though they are thinner than the ones I used when I was younger (these plates actually bend a little if you pick them up by the corner).They are about 1/6 of a standard block thick, but it's fine if you leave them on another surface.

If you are going to buy here though, be careful.It took a few weeks for the company to ship the product and I never received anything from them indicating why the delay occurred.I did get an Email from Amazon indicating the vendor had not transferred the order yet after about 5 days, but it still took a while to get the items.

I would buy another of these products, just not from this particular vendor (I would buy direct from Lego.com and get the product faster enxt time).
