 Individual bricks well-designed, but interlocking design not so goodJan 29, 2010
The K'nex bricks feel like quality material. They are slightly different aesthetically from Legos--rounded corners (cute) and a plus sign on each brick--but the differences must be more than aesthetic because the bricks don't seem to stay together as well as Legos.
The people who designed the models for you to build also seem to lack knowledge of basic interlock engineering--when you're putting bricks together, you've got to do it strategically so that the whole structure is interlocked. The models seem slapped together. Case in point: when my little boy tries to push around the big rig on the front of the box, the whole front of it comes off the wheelbase. Repeatedly.
Also, I was fascinated by the idea of the light-up brick, but I couldn't envision it really well while studying Amazon's write-up. I wondered how many there were and if they worked by some "shake-electricity" technology. Here are the answers: there is one brick and it is run off 3 button batteries.
I personally plan to stick with Legos.
 A good building set for a young boyDec 12, 2009
I bought this for my 4.5 years old son.
It was easy enought to put together even for a busy mother like myself, the documentation is good, and we had fun working together.
He definitely does not have enough motor skills to build it by himself, but he was very excited helping me find the pieces and showing where they should go.
Admittedly, a car made out of tiny plastic pieces falls apart easily. But part of the fun, I think, for my son is taking some of it apart, and building something of his own.
I wish the pieces were bigger, but overall, I would say, for a child who loves to build, this is good toy.
