Summary: Great Creative Toy!
Comment: Great toy for my son! He loves them and plays with these blocks often! It is a good idea to stuff these blocks with newspapers or some kind of paper to make them more durable when you buy them. My son stepped on one of them and made a large hole. I wish the company put 80 blocks in a pack since you could build more things. Overall 4 out of 5

Summary: Great fun for all ages
Comment: We bought two packs. Enough to build a large fort/castle. These blocks were daunting for someone with large clumsy hands to assemble, but my wife jammed them out pretty quick.
Our son and his friends/cousins love these. We've seen adults make 7' tall towers out of them, and its fun watching our 1 yr old "kak" (stack).
They are very durable, as long as you dont get them too wet. They have a minor glossy finish, but can be easily destroyed (like everything really) by little sharp teeth. However, with supervision, we found our little 7 month old (at the time) loved watching these tip over.
Great colors, durable, fun to use.
Plus a parents favorite:
NO BATTERIES = NO ANNOYING SOUNDS!!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: Excellent fun toy for the money
Comment: The blocks are exactly what I was hoping for: Large, light-weight so the kids don't kill one another toppling towers bigger than themselves, and absolutely fun in their utter simplicity.
The blocks were easy to assemble. Two of us did it in about 15 minutes. Once you get the hang of it, it's kind of fun, especially with the kids eagerly awaiting the next block.
My kids love to build everything from 5-foot towers to tables and chairs for their dolls. They mix and match with their regular blocks for added texture and sounds effects upon destruction.
If I had to list drawbacks, the biggest is that while the blocks are well enough reinforced to handle a bit of weight (the kid standing on the red block in the photo, for example), the sharp edges of the other blocks put some serious dings into the cardboard when the blocks topple onto one another. I could see these dings leading to destruction of the blocks over time. Our blocks began to get dinged up within the first five minutes of use, and it's not like the girls were unusually rough with them.
Too, consider storage. An assembled set of 40 can consume an entire toy box (luckily we happened to have a spare).
Lastly, I wish there were more jumbo blocks (the red and blue), and less of the yellow.
Overall, none of this detracts from the well-executed purpose of the set. I believe it will last just as long as the kids need it to, and if it doesn't, at this price we'll just throw the beat up ones in the recycle bin and buy another set.

Summary: Building blocks
Comment: My grandsons 6 and 3 love to build with these blocks. They ask for more for every gift giving occasion. They are very sturdy and don't come apart, like I thought they might. Well worth the money.

Summary: Good Condition
Comment: Good for young children however made of cardboard which makes them easily destroyed. All in all an ok item.
