(More customer reviews)I bought this for my son for xmas and am going to return it. Putting the different things together was fun for him, but the whole point of taking the time to do it is that there is a reward at the end: a helicopter that he can operate, or a car or a funny alien thing. But the problem is that the pieces are ill-fitting. The car won't work, for example, because the screws holding the frame together are loose and cannot be tightened. Actually, that is the problem with all the models - the pieces are held together by a plastic brace through which you insert the screw which then expands the plastic to hold the things in place, only the plastic often doesn't expand enough to hold things in place.
I had an erector set as a kid and expected something similar with this kit. The quality is poor in comparison (lots of plastic) and, as I've said, it doesn't work.
Erector is a great idea for budding engineers like my son (I have no such inclination!). He really enjoyed making the models but was understandably frustrated when he couldn't get them to do what they are supposed to do.
