Mega Bloks Thomas Adventure on Misty Island

I'm a mother of 2 boys ages 2 1/2 and 5. My boys love Thomas and they love bloks. This product took me an hour for set up while being helped and hurried by 2 anxious little boys. First set up was hard but every set up since has been easier. Set comes with 2 trains which is fabulous especially when you have 2 children or those boys who like to have a train in each hand. (Thank you)Love the creative opening doors and bridges and under the mountain set up.

There are 2 ways to set the track up both are fun. There the tracks fit together nicely once you can figure out how it suppose to go. My boys played for over an hour with the 1st set up until one tripped and landed on the track and the whole thing tumbled down. Every time it was knocked down Mom had to set up. Hopefully in a yr or so my just turned 5 yr old will put it together himself with minimal help from mom.

I bought this for my four year old son and was looking forward to seeing him play with it.Not to be however.After watching my mom and then older son struggle to get this set assembled, I finally took time out to lend a hand.I have 5 kids and have assembled more toys than I can remember so was not expecting any trouble.I soon learned though that this block set is not designed well at all.The blocks do not fit together snugly and come apart with the slightest touch.It takes repeated presses to get many of the blocks together in the first place.

With other block sets that we have of this kind, once you press blocks together to build something the creations are actually fairly solid and can be lifted or moved without much trouble.This set is more like a house of cards.I can't imagine a child of any age actually being able to play with this without it coming apart within minutes.After wasting about 10 minutes it was clear this was an exercise in futility.The set has been boxed up and is going back.Wasn't worth it even at the bargain price we got it for.Not sure if the set we got differs in some way from those that received positive reviews here but based on my experiencedefinitely one to avoid.

While MegaBloks are not the same quality as Duplo (duplo is much better) for certain special pieces, I love the stuff.

This set is made of majority special pieces that I really like(rocks and track).

Mixed with Duplo I love what this set brings to the set up.

What I like most about this track, is that it fits well with the Duplo track and vehicles that came in Duplo sets that have the highway track and vehicle (not the normal Duplo train track, which is not compatible).

The combination solves the one issue I had with the MegaBlok track, which was a lack of straight pieces (or even curves that did not change levels).

The compatible Duplo track and vehicle can be found in several sets, but no current sets. There is one set from 2009, part of the Dacta line, that is still available, but costly.To find it on Amazon search on "Lego Duplo Brick Runner".

One can also obtain the Duplo brick runner track pieces on eBay or other sites that sell used Duplo.

I dread this set.

My husband purchased this set for our daughter for Christmas.

It just doesn't stay up.

We spend more time putting it together than actually playing with it.It has taught our daughter patience though.

My young grandson loves trains, and Thomas even moreso. The train track is a bit complicated for him at this time, but he'll grow into that soon. I have fun helping him set it up and play with it. It is a great toy for the price.
