 Meccano Multi Models 40 June 1, 2010
Mr. P. Rosenberg
Very good but if you dont follow the instructions correctly you have to take it all apart.
They are not very good for a 10 year old kid.
 More sophisticated version of lego January 8, 2010

I love lego but I was tired of making the same old models. I discovered Meccano while watching James May 'Toy stories'. I thought this would be as enjoyabe as lego was in my youth. This product met my expectation. I bought the 40 model set for re-usability. I recommend this to anyone who enjoys constructing objects as you'll have hours of fun.

Great toy. Billed as for "8+" but I think quite a few 10+ year-olds would still welcome senior assistance at first, as the models are intricate, and some skills are needed to follow the instructions - so good bonding opportunities for dads and grandads too!

This is a must for any active and inventive child. Hours of fun to be had and a good toy to bring out the best in their creative side.
