Hanz Innovations Inventors Lab Kit, X-Large

The concept sounded good: a platform to create cool things. However, the implementation falls way short. The beams are supposed to snap into the grooves on the "brains." However, the grooves are very shallow and they don't snap. It's more like, the beams fit snugly into the grooves on the "brains." So it falls apart rather easily. My kid made an iPod stand and it fell apart when she put her iPod on it. I took a look at it and tried to make it stronger, but you can't. The grooves are just not deep enough to construct anything that can hold any kind of weight. Definitely not worth it. I'd look elsewhere for engineering type toys.

Pieces fit together so snugly that my child struggles putting them together and taking them apart.

Really not that fun or entertaining for anyone in our age group. Did 2 builds and never looked at it again. Oh well.

Got opened, got used, never been touched since.

This was a disappointment for me and the 12 year old I gave it to. Maybe it's best for younger kids, but it was a bit one dimensional and boring for us.

An inactive toy that allows the child to achieve a sense of accomplishment in their creations.

My nephew LOVES this large lab kit, we are keeping track of all his "inventions"!

Seems to be acceptable quality and the kids were playing with it, so that's a good sign.
