    Erector Model 40

    Both my 8 year old son & I love this thing! It's great---with one exception. I bought it primarily to replace a motor which went bad on another Erector set my son has. After only a couple days of play, it appears there may be problems with this motor as well. That's very disappointing.

    My grandson loved it. He plays with it all of the time. Bought him the big one last year. He loved it, as well.

    Review for Erector Set 40 Model Set

    I purchased this set for my son's eighth birthday. He has always been good at construction and building sets, but initially found this set overwhelming. The blow-out diagrams used in for the instruction manual can be confusing to follow at first. But, after working through a model with my husband, he seems to be handling the set better himself, getting used to how the materials and tools work, and reading the instructions better on his own, even trying his own ideas. I would recommend the set- it will be used for a long time.

    Cool Item If You've Got The Time And Commitment
    Posted 2/19/2008 by Jake

    This is a great toy in many respects, but the designs included are very complex, even for adults. I spent about 2.5 hours building one of them with my 8 year old. In the end she loves the car we built, but looking at the finished product, one realized that a lot of the time we spent was simply oriented toward little frills for making it look cool (tailpipes!?), rather than building to the core functional components that make it run. I would rather have spent 1/2 an hour and have something that simply runs than spend five times that time making it look slick.
