Daughter says it's fascinating towatch. Booklet only shows how to make one matchine ...
Arrived quickly and sligthly cheaper on Amazon than Toys R Us. My 9 year old says "it's amazing"!. She forgot to check the contents which is important as the set was complete however 2 parts looked slightly different to the instruction booklet so you need to identify these before you start to avoid confusion later! Daughter says it's fascinating to watch. Booklet only shows how to make one matchine - as pictured. If you go online you can download 3 other instructions to make other machines using the same kit parts. It's great fun and now she wants the other kits!

Good entertainment.
My 13yr old has been happily constructing this for 2hrs. No problems with the instructions at all. It involves making a gear box which is good STEM skills.Lots of fun to be had with construction of the alternative designs on the internet. He is now trying to turn it into a weapon to annoy his sister with.

Good fun.
Great fun building with my 7 year olds. Some tricky points but children manage to build independently. Clear instructions and well worth price.
