 Not the quality I grew up with.Jul 28, 2010
I got this for my kids since I remembered how much fun the sets were back in the 80's.
The quality went down drastically! The beams are no longer flanged at the ends so they bend more easily. The models shown are too detailed for my children to follow so I had to do all the work (each model that I built took about 2 hours but it was great time spent with the kids). The tools that are included will do the job but there is too much balancing required so I had to use pliers to hold the nuts in place.
While they were playing with the second model I built; one of the command cables snapped. When I took the model apart many of the beams were bent and it looked like the holes wouldn't match up if we tried to build anything else.
My parents still had one of the sets that I used for years and it appeared to be in good condition. I took that instead for my kids and returned this one.
 Smaller than I remember...Jul 25, 2010
Nice set. I last used Erector Sets when I was much younger, and the pieces in this set seem shorter in general, and thinner, than the pieces I remember. Otherwise I am happy with the purchase.

unpleasantly surprisedJan 31, 2010
I purchased this as a christmas present for my nephew, remembering all the fun i had with such a toy when I was a child. Well, when he opened the box there was more "air" that parts and the pasts that were there were all quite small,easy to lose or misplace. I guess we can no longer buy on memories.

Erector setJan 08, 2010
Purchased for my Grandson remembering my Erector set days over half a century ago. Many parts missing and twice the quantity of other parts. The packer grabbed two bags of one set of items and omitted the others. In other words--unusable. There is no number to contact the manufacturer, only email which they didn't answer. Waited two weeks and found another email contact which they didn't answer either. The buyer is on his or her own if theres a problem. This is not in any way the quality of the sets of the past. Pretty much stamped out Chinese junk. Beware.

 Over all, it's a good toyDec 28, 2009
We purchased this erector set for our 7-year old son for Christmas. He began playing with it at once. He is mechanically minded so he was excited about the possibilities of things that he could create. The bolts and nuts are small and a little difficult to use, even for me. It may be a good idea for the manufacturer to include a set of tweezers. I had to help a great deal with construction; but, our son is very interactive in helping. This is an opportunity for together time and a teaching in working together. I like that most all of the construction pieces are metal. It makes the set more durable. Some of the plastic pieces are not in exact proportion with the metal pieces which makes construction more challenging. However, this opens up opportunity for alternative ideas of how to manipulate something to make it work (taking the lemons and making lemonade.)The directions included are pretty easy to follow. I had to go back and reconnect a part more than once after I realized that I had bolted something in the wrong hole. Over all, I think this is a good toy. Reason being, it gives itself to creative, problem solving thinking (for adult and child, alike,) and, if your not in a hurry, an opportunity to do something creative together. If neither you nor your child are not mechanically inclined it will be frustrating.
