Underwater Robot

This was the first Lego for my 6 year old daughter. She likes robots, so she was intrigued by the box. We built it together, with me doing most of the work. We started with the robot form, the most difficult of the three, and she loved it so much that she didn't want to do the other two forms. We eventually did the submarine one, while the third one still remains to be built. She liked how posable the robot is, more than many action figures. Plus, with the extras provided and a few modifications, the robot can look even more bad@$$, which she loved. more less

Instructions are pretty good. My six year old is able to read them and put them together. Keeping him focused is another question, but that has nothing to do with the toy. The prices for these types of toys seems too high for what you get, but that is true for Legos, too. more less

This set is pretty generic 3-in-1 fare, unlikely to garner much attention from AFOLs or LEGO fans that aren't into underwater machinery. That said, it has three very different models that are still enjoyable to build. The yellow colour palette is bright and inviting, and there are some nice parts here for those looking to MOC once the models have been built at least once. One to buy on impulse or if found on offer, if not there are other sets within the same price range that might appeal more. more less
