🪀 Revolutionary Wood Trick American Functional Moving Toy: Unleash the Magic! Review

This amazing truck is assembled without glue and glue. It took a while but the instructions are very clear at every step.

It was a fun project. So cute when I'm done. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because there were a few spots where the images were too blurry to figure out how to proceed. Some written instructions can be helpful.

Made for dad. I would say it took around 7-10 hours over several days. Towards the end it was a bit difficult to put the pieces together. Also, it's not self-propelled like I thought it would be. The gears spin as you move the wheels, but that's about it. In general I think it's fine.

Great product for those who love attention to detail and a bit of complexity. I appreciate that everything is made of natural materials. It was a great gift for my father-in-law who has cancer. He was an engineer and unfortunately got stuck inside due to his condition and the brutally cold winter weather, which kept him busy at times.

I have made several Ugears sets and love them all so this "wooden trick" set was a bit disappointing in several areas. I had two, one for each of my kids and they had a blast building them. But even they were frustrated that the gears attached to the rear wheels did nothing but spin other gears. Feels incomplete. Nice details from the outside but the technology is not up to date.

I have built several Wood Trick models and also U-Gears. However, this model was easy until I was about a third of the way through when the numbers on the boards didn't match. It was so confusing but as a long time builder I was able to figure it out from the photos. Well, if I, an 80-year-old, can understand that, then so can you. It took a little longer, but I still enjoyed it.

What's up with the seller (Wood Trick, USA)? Quick reference guide completely in Russian! And I don't think we would recommend this brand/seller otherwise - (1) the packaging was just a plastic sleeve with no protection for the contents, (2) the puzzle box was dusty as if neglected in storage. for years, and (3) all wooden puzzle pieces have a scratchy finish (I expect a better manufacturer to sand down the wood for a nicer presentation). Generally not impressed.
