Bauer Building Set With Gears

A carousel building set with gears by Bauer. It’s very similar to Quercetti sets with gears. In this set, however, the baseplates are not similar to puzzle pieces, they look and work like Lego bricks.

Overall, this set looks similar to Lego Duplo and other building sets of this type. There are big, colorful bricks you can stack at each other. The set also has figurines, toy vehicles, trees and other extra pieces. You can build big and cute crafts even without using the gears.

The gears in this set are also big and colorful, they come in different sizes and allow you to make brick platform move and rotate. This set offers to build a carousel that you will be able to rotate using the gears. The set has 177 pieces, but not so many bricks or gears. Many building pieces are parts of the vehicles or decorations, so possibilities of building complex gear strutures are limited with just one set.

This set is a rare one – there are not so many sets that have gears and Lego-like bricks at the same time. Most building sets with gears have big puzzle-like pieces for building purposes, or the gears themselves are the building blocks.

We Also Liked The LOZ Big-Eyes

Actually, neither of my children are fans of robots. I bought the first set of Loz because of the motor and in order to look at the quality of this K’Nex-like set. But the Eyeballs charmed us completely 🙂 They run and crawl around the room so funny! And they “fight” if you direct them at one another. The robots turned out to be very similar to the Micro-Bots series from Knex. There are four sets, each with detailed instructions for one critter and a picture of a robot you can build from two sets.
