Tag: Tegu Building Sets

In the new Tegu set – Explorer Set – we found a lot of disadvantages. Which is dissapointing, since the Tegu constructor isn’t exactly cheap… The composition of the set is wonderful. But with the location of the magnets, the inventors obviously did not finalize. So, for example, small and large trapezoids in the sets contain only 1 magnet each on the sides, and its only + and – . Because of this, when assembling a triangular roof from trapezoids, you can’t put it together completely, no matter how you connect the pieces (we experimented with them all). It will always be a discrepancy somewhere, either 2 minuses or 2 pluses will be put against each other. Or it will stand crooked, as in the photo. Very annoying…

A car made from the Tegu wooden constructor. We used parts from different kits. In the center there is an orange pillar prism from the Explorer Nelson set. Its huge minus the absence of magnets on the sides. The arrow shows that there is no connection between the cube and the orange pillar, they just fit snugly together. The car rolls well.

Perhaps this is a portrait of a owl with a mustache – happened out somewhat unexpectedly… The sculpture stands on a trapezoid from the Tegu Explorer set.

Iven with Tugboat as a basic theme, and Tugboat colors and decorations, you can easily build animals (or, really, anything) from this set.

These are Tegu blocks on wheels, which exist since 2012. We liked the wheels – they sit tight and spin well. We made a lot of cars. At first, small, simple ones, consisting of just a few cubes, and then bigger, more complicated cars. Like a fire truck, that quickly rolls around the apartment.

This summer, I fell in love with the Tegu constructor even more, and not only for its amazing ability to keep active 5-year-old Alesya busy during a long car trip. But also for a strong box that can withstand of rain, sand, and Alesya’s feet. Both cubes and cardboard are good in Honduras!

Another Thavel Pals set – Tugboat – in its box, in “basic” shape.

Always tries to run away into the woods outside the car window…

Despite having a basic theme and a “basic” shape, you can build anything from each Tegu Travel Pal set.

Traveling Elephant. The tail and the trunk are made to the scale.
