Summary: Not like they used to be
Comment: I haven't even opened the bags holding the wooden logs yet, so won't comment on them. There are definitely fewer of them than the set I had as a child.
The other reviewer who commented on the toxic smell was right - it's potent. Luckily I was buying for myself, not a child. I once bought a mahjong box imported from China with the same smell...2 years later, it hasn't gone away.
The tin is thin and cheap. My childhood set (from the '70s) came in a cardboard tube with a plastic top, and it was infinitely more sturdy than this "collectible" tin. In addition, the top was held on with clear tape that left a thick sticky residue when I removed it. I once bought a popcorn tin at a dollar store that suffered from the same problem.... I didn't expect it with this tin, for $30+. Sad. And I have to add $3 to the price I paid for the tin just for the naphtha I used trying to remove the residue! I also had to be extremely careful, so as not to bend the cheapo tin or its lid.
On the plus side, the logs seem to be better stained than the set I had as a kid - darker and more uniform, especially the green ones. Of course, as I said, I haven't actually opened the bags yet.

Summary: Nothing stays the same...
Comment: When my adult son told me he thought this was the best present he ever received - I decided to get a set for the grandchildren. I guess they were
"as advertised", but not great by a long shot. There are flaws in the specs, and only enough to make one building at a time anyway. I guess I
should have known it couldn't be the same....

Summary: Not what it "used to be..."
Comment: While these Lincoln Logs are great... and they are wooden..., if you were a kid in the 70s you'd remember that there were 4 notches on the longest stick on which to build great big log cabins and forts, etc. These came with some new adaptations, of which most were acceptable, however, the longest stick was the 3 notched log and so... the saga of putting together incredible log structures has diminished to that of smaller less creative imagination creations. Don't get me wrong, it still is almost all that a collectors edition ought to be sans the 4 notch and the multitude of ideas/ directions for building the structures is missing. Kind of like buying the "little" 1 vehicle model of Legos instead of the "whole kit" version. Fun... just not quite the same!

Summary: Stinkin Logs!!!
Comment: The children were excited to get this as a Christmas present from grandma. Unfortunately when we opened it, it let out toxic fumes that would knock out a horse! IF YOU GET THIS, OPEN IT OUTSIDE and let it air out for a while.
Inspecting the back, I see that it was made in China. So can I even let my children play with it? God only knows how much lead it is tainted with. What if the little ones put it in their mouths? Too bad China has a monopoly on toys and everyone is either ignorant or ambivalent about it.
