Recommendation: meh 4.5 / 5 from 201 reviews

Awesome, comprehensive, and colorful set of Legos. Perfect as a starter kit. The price is a little staggering, but if you start looking in retail shops and online - and you aren't currently familiar with the world of Lego - I assure you that Legos are simply expensive. If you are lazy like me and didn't want to go through the trouble of finding 'starter' Legos at a garage sale or Craig's list -- get this set and just know it is $$ well spent. This set is visually stunning - the colors are marvelous (which is a departure from the Lego kits of yesteryear). The set is comprised mostly of 'basic' blocks that will be used again and again for standard, entry level projects, lots of varying sized wheels, and doors/windows. There are some neat pieces so you can build the projects in the book that is provided as well. My only bugaboo is there weren't enough roof pieces. Anyway, our 3yo was all over this set and the ~$90 will buy us several hours of non-TV, non-iPad quiet (HA!).

Recommendation: meh 4.5 / 5

Kids will be able to create anything they can imagine while refining motor skills, learning to problem solve, and staying focused on a task. The amount of pieces in this set makes this a great addition to any play space because it can be used by multiple children. Adults can get in on the fun too. This is for ages 4 and up.

Recommendation: meh 4.33 / 5 from 3 reviews

If you're looking to add to your collection of basic lego blocks, this set is a no-brainer. Please be aware that, as another reviewer correctly has pointed out, the number of small pieces is limited. If you're an adult fan of Lego planning to build detailed and intricate models, this set alone will not help you achieve that goal. However, you will be needing a lot of basic blocks for that awesome model of Normandy SR-1 you are hoping to build one day, right?

The LEGO Classic 10697 box will allow for endless creations and ideas. It won't cater for some fans looking to create very intricate designs, but it will be perfectly suitable for most LEGO builders. An excellent assortment of 1500 pieces and 39 different colours makes it perfect as a sharer box for the family (or for yourself). It would also make for a fantastic gift. The instructions booklet included and the additional 5 builds online make it perfect as a springboard to create bigger and better things.
