Review on 🧩 Unleash Your Creativity with MECCANO Erector Geared Machines Building Set by Robert Robertson

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Very disappointed with construction toy

Bought this for my grandkids when they come to visit. So I opened it up, took all the pieces apart and started looking for instructions. I found a brochure showing how to build a thing and a bunch of sheets with pictures of different things to build but no instructions for it. App downloaded, waste of time without instructions. I went to their YouTube channel and found a bunch of videos but it was difficult to determine which video came with the kit I bought. I finally found one for the robot and started building. What a nightmare. No sound, just someone's hands pulling the pieces out of the stack, with no description or close-up of the pieces. It took over 2 hours to build a robot that did nothing but move its arms. This is definitely not the constructor I remember. I might not be the sharpest knife in the draw, but I thought I could build something made for a 10-year-old. Don't waste your money if you don't like getting frustrated by starting, rewinding, and watching videos over and over again only to be disappointed with the end result. I would send it back but I opened everything, built something. Very disappointing.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Mystery
