Review on πŸ”§ UGEARS Combining Mechanical Construction Kit by Luke Liu

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Nice set, except for the terribly cheap toothpicks!

We have built several of these Ugears kits and as we live in the country thought it would be great. I just spelled it "wrong". as others have pointed out, the standard imported restaurant toothpicks (still in individual cellophane wrappers) are a really cheap excuse for all the fixings/axes. There is no quality control on the toothpicks, leaving you with a completely random selection of toothpicks in actual sizes, diameters, lengths and most importantly, quality. Some break when attempting to remove them from their plastic packaging. Previous generations of Ugears sets had some other higher quality wooden toothpicks that were much better. left him to smash the hell out of him! After all, it works as shown and is really good if you can survive the pain of putting it together with those awful toothpicks. Not what young people need, they quickly get frustrated and lose interest in collecting anything like this. Pros – Looks good, works well, and has a few useful features. Cons - The toothpicks are almost so bad I don't want to try any more Ugears kits (if they go that route).
