Mega Bloks Thomas' Mountain Adventure Playset

this product actually has very little flexibility in design-it doesn't allow for much free form building bec the pieces can only connect and be supported in very specific ways. the instructions are ultra specific. my husband (an engineer) took 2 hours to build this. and my 3 1/2 year old just got so frustrated bec every time he went to play with it, it fell apart and we needed my husband to rebuild it. not a fun toy. wish i had read the reviews before i bought this. the toys r us site has almost 100 2 star reviews.

This is my grandson's new favorite toy. I think it has gotten a bum rap from some of the other reviews. Yes, it is more complicated to assemble than other mega block or duplo sets but for some kids that is a great thing. My grandson loves the challenge. We helped him set it up according to directions the first time. Now he puts it together and uses it as a basis to build an entire play world. It works with all the duplos he already has and is more entertaining for him after he builds it. He loves just about anything Thomas and already had some Thomas duplos but after assembling them there wasn't much else to do with them. Mega block plastic is not as heavy as Duplos but still holds up well to rough toddler play and they don't seem to come apart any easier than his Duplos. Some might think this set is too complex for this age level but for some kids it is just the challenge they need.

My son received this for his 4th birthday and it entertains him for hours! Other reviews talk about their kids being bored or over it since it takes so long to build, but I had a blast putting it together with him. It might help that he's been a train fanatic since he was a little over a year old. You just have to know what toys to pick for your kids. Just because it's a "toy", doesn't mean they'll like it. It also gives your child a chance to be creative and makes them use their brain a little more. Sit down and show your child how to use it and there will be endless hours of play.

Also, I LOVE that you can store it under your childs bed like a plastic tote. I recommend to the die hard train fans!

HOrrible product!Its very difficult to put together because it falls apart even as you the adult are putting it together.The reason is that the blocks are all a lose fit.All this toy did is frustrate me.When I finally was able to put decent set together, it fell apart while my son was playing with it.I felt so angry because my son was very excited about this.Do not buy!

My 2 and a half year old loves this. We've been gradually "collecting" the sets The Carnival, some other small one, a then finally this big thing. Since the first set, he's been playing with the Thomas megablocks all the time for about a year now. This particular set, combined with the others, lets us build and re-build all kinds of configurations. We put together the "original design" using very easy instructions once, after that the thing got a life of its own, and have been constantly changing. Yes, an adult is needed to put together some stuff. But our son loves to participate, and design his own ideas yes, a 2-year old ideas, but he means those. He builds fire-houses, and sheds, and construction sites, and you name it. Very fun toy, lots of possibilities for thinking outside the box. I can see us playing with it for a couple more years, unless it falls apart from constant use.

Maybe now sturdy much when put together, but we don't quite follow the instructions anymore, and hook things up as we see them fit. We did not think it was not sturdy in it's original form, when we got it all together and played.

Build-demolish-build again. Not boring. All the sets we have are used together (look at the photos) to create monster-sites. If your kid loves to build, this is a great toy.

I recommend this or similar large set, and some additional small sets that will allow the "flexibility" in designing unusual models.
