Guidecraft IO Blocks Center – Figurines 2

Guidecraft blocks center has people figurines. You can make them stand, or you can remove their legs and put them inside the sockets in the pieces.

This set is more than a building kit, this is, as the manufacturer puts it, an education system. This Guidecraft IO Blocks Center set includes building blocks and a real child-sized wooden table with storage bins!

The table in this set is very similar to the common adult tables, with the storage shelves in usual places – except these deep plastic boxes hold building toys and not papers. The table surface itself is a construction baseplate – it has holes to fix the pieces. This allows the gears to rotate in their positions, and your kids can build bigger crafts without them falling apart.

The building set itself has big, chunky pieces of different shapes. They have thick square pegs and crevices that can snap together and can connect the pieces in different positions. The set also includes bent slide pieces, axis parts, and figurines. The figures look like cubic Lego people, except they have no moving legs.

Overall, this is an ambitious and unusual set. It has great potential, but buying the whole table for just one building set brand can easily be an overkill for many families. The table itself has very specific holds, so you can’t use many sets with it – pieces from lots of building toys simply won’t match these square holes.

Lucky Doug Solar Robot

With this solar building set by Lucky Doug, you can build 12 different robot types. These toys operate solely on solar power, without the need for batteries. When placed under direct sunlight, the robots can crawl, roll, and even “sail” in a paddle boat.
At first, assembly may seem a bit challenging, but the manual instructions make it easy to follow. The manufacturer suggests that parents and children work together to build the first solar robot. It makes sense, because the pieces are sometimes hard to connect, and the set may be confusing for the younger children. The recommended ages are 8-14 years.
The set has 190 pieces, offering many possibilities beyond what the manual suggests. It includes many different pieces to build a fully functional robot from scratch, including pistons, shafts, gears, tires, and more. The main piece with a motor is somewhat bulky, and you often have to build your robot around it. The solar panels are relatively small, so you can place them around your robot in many different ways. This set is a good educational option, but it will be too small for many children to build at once.
Of course, there are not enough pieces to make many different working robots at once, so you will have to dismantle one robot to build another.

Georello 3D Gear Tech Set By Quercetti

We play with this set – Georello Gear Tech by Quercetti – for a long time now, making everything turn. You can also add cardboard pieces to it.

These gears by Quercetti has all the essential thing you’d desire in a gear system. Firstly, their construction quality is top-notch, and the pieces have robust and solid design. The set also has a seamless gear interface, so they interlock securely. With this reliable connections and sturdy pieces, the set allows you to build machines that can perform real work.

The set includes several base plates that fit together like puzzle pieces. Nearly half the time these are in use at our house, kids made colorful boxes from them. So, they’re not just basic pieces but are interesting decorations in their own. The second set of pieces has support structures, which are tubes and joints that interlock to create sturdy poles. These pieces come in a consistent size, without the frustration of dealing with components at slightly different heights, a problem we’ve encountered with other sets in the past. The support connects are sturdy, so that the structures stay intact once they’re built.

In addition to the gears, this set also comes with attachments like chains and rubber bands. You can use them to connect groups of gears that would otherwise be separate. Also, you can use them with other toys and building sets.

Top Race Gear Train

Top Race is a brand of RC toy cars and other vehicles. This Gear Train set, however, is somewhat unusual to the Top Race brand. It has 96 gear pieces, and control whatever you built using the included wireless remote.

This Battery-Powered DIY kit comes with easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions in the manual, enabling your children to assemble the train. Or you can build some unique machine – there are countless ways to create a toy that will roll around. The gears of this set are mostly decorative – they are colorful and have flashy stickers, and look especially impressive when they rotate. The main moving piece – a train chassis – makes train-like sounds and has lights.

Overall, there are not that many building options with Top Race gear train, but it allows you to create actual RC vehicles, which few sets can offer. Their racing qualities can vary depending on your design skills. Of course, you can also build a stationary thing with the gears thta will rotate when you use the remote control.

The remote control has a control range of about 10500 feet and operates on 2.4GHz technology. The Top Race train requires 3 AA batteries, while the remote control uses 2 AA batteries (batteries not included).
