1.0 out of 5 stars Large Bucket - Very Few Legos!, December 30, 2008

I am shocked at the reviews for this product. Nearly every review mentions the fact that the product is "over-priced for the number of blocks you get" or "you may want to skip this product and buy the deluxe duplo set". I totally agree!

This was definitely the most disappointing toy under the tree this year. Our little guy was graduating from Mega-Blocks to Legos and we put this on his wish list. Based on the nearly "5-star" reviews we chose this "first set". But 30 blocks doesn't build much folks. That is nearly $1.00 per block if you exclude the bucket they come in.

We are VERY disappointed in the value of this toy. Before you believe the other "5-Star" reviews, read them carefully. Nearly every one of them states "few blocks for the money" and/or "looking to get more blocks". I am not sure why they gave it "5-stars" if they thought the toy was insufficient for the price or play value.

If you need an expensive bucket to hold Lego's, then... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Toy, December 12, 2007
= Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars  = Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars  = Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: LEGO Duplo My First Set (5416) (Toy)
My son received this Lego Duplo set for his first birthday and he plays with it everyday! At first he just liked to knock down whatever I created with the blocks, but now at 15 months he can build too! The blocks are very colorful and sturdy. But this set is fairly small. We are purchasing the Deluxe set for Christmas to expand our building options- I might suggest starting with the bigger set and skipping this one!

A small complaint is that the lid is too hard for my son to open on his own, so we don't usually close it tight. Although, this could be a good feature if you needed to be sure the lid stayed on during travel or other circumstances.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice *Small* Set of Legos, November 23, 2009

If I'd paid $26 for this small set of Legos, as some reviewers have, I would feel so ripped off. But I paid less than half that, noted the amount of pieces in the box, decided to purchase two boxes at the same time rather than one. There's totally not enough pieces in one box (and there's barely enough in two). After all, I grew up with Legos and remember how lame they can be if you don't have enough pieces. Really, a truly fine Lego Duplo Set needs in excess of 200 pieces, in my opinion. However, I didn't want to just run out and spend 80-something dollars on a huge set only to find that my kids cared nothing for Legos.

Each box in 'My First Set' contains a pretty fun mix of pieces of 33 pieces; a window, a doorway, one of each color of the 'double' length (eight dot) pieces, two of each color of the 'single' length (four dot) pieces. Two pieces with eyes, a couple novel pieces (that can be used to make a bird), a red and blue flower, and one gray cat. Since my days of... Read more
