    Finally something that will keep my ADHD son occupied!
    It has been a constant battle to find something my 11 year old will play with by himself other than video games. We bought this yesterday, and he has already played with it for several hours! He likes building the ideas in the book and also making his own creations. The recommended age listed here is 6-10 years, but on the packing of the box the ages are 7-14 years. There are 3 skill levels - Friendly Challenge, Moderate Challenge, and Greater Challenge. The instruction book has 4 Friendly models, 9 Moderate models, and 17 Greater models. At 11 years old, the Friendly models are a little too easy for him, and the Greater models are a bit challenging without adult help (I'm sure he'll get better at it in no time though), but the Moderate models are perfect for him. He has an incredibly short attention span, but he has been content to work on this longer than he ever has with anything else, so I hope this will spill over into other areas of his life, especially school.

    Kids and Parents both will love these!!!!!
    My children are 9 and 7. We have had K'nex for 3 years now and my kids are still playing with them!!! Whenever my neices and nephews come over the first toys out are the K'nex. These toys are great for both boys and girls. They spark children's imagination and keep them busy for hours. I honestly was skeptical when I first bought them. I thought they would be like a puzzle, use them once and then toss them aside. Boy was I wrong. Whenever my boys go shopping with me they have to look at the new K'nex to see what they don't have. I highly recommend them. But please be wary when you have babies. The pieces are small and a baby can choke on them. Other than that they are a great family bonding toy. Parents, you can even play with them too. They are highly addictive.

    TERRIFIC TOY
    THIS IS THE BEST TOY MY 8 & 10 YEAR OLDS GOT FOR CHRISTMAS. THEY HAVE PLAYED WITH IT FOR HOURS -TOGETHER! THE PIECES AND INSTRUCTIONS ARE EASY TO USE AND VERY ADAPTABLE. WE ALSO BOUGHT A MOTERIZED SET THAT CAN BE USED WITH THE LARGER SET TO MAKE MOTERIZED TOYS. THE BOX SERVES AS A STURDY PLACE TO STORE THE PIECES- A PLUS FOR ME SINCE PUTTING IT AWAY IS EASIER FOR THE KIDS.
    BUY THESE TOYS!

      Fun but not that durable
      Excellent puzzle, my daughter had it since she was two and she can't have enough of it. The one thing that I love is that it has a board where you can put the pieces, so it makes it easier to teach a child how to make a puzzle. After time the pieces start pealing out, I had to tape the ones left with pictures so she doesn't destroy them all, if they were a bit more durable I will rate it a must for every child.

      Bonz Velociraptor (Small)
      Made by BC Bones
      Age Group: 8 - 12 years
        Amazon base price: $29.99
        Among the smartest of the dinosaurs who roamed the earth 65 million years ago, Velociraptors were also deadly predators who hunted in packs to satisfy their carnivorous diet. Made from Baltic birch, the 62 interlocking pieces in this kit require no hardware or glue to assemble. An excellent exercise in shape recognition and spatial reasoning, assembling the puzzle requires patience and careful attention to detail and, possibly, the assistance of an adult. But the rewards are great as you transform a pile of scattered "bones" into an impressive scale replica of a Velociraptor skeleton. Once the puzzle is assembled, you can leave it standing as a display piece, or disassemble it for future use. A wooden "rock hammer" and sandpaper have been included to aid in the assembly process, but you may pick up a few splinters putting this wooden puzzle together if you're not careful. An educational dinosaur booklet and scientific fact file have been included along with assembly instructions and an excavation site map. Measures 21 inches tall by 36 inches long. --Chris Burns

        Great Together-time activity!
        My 5 year old's grandfather bought this for him and the three of us put it together! He could help identify the major pieces but I had to find the pieces that went together for the most part. He loved tapping on the pieces with the little hammer after I would stick them together to make sure they were together. He keeps it in his room and refuses to take it apart. The only downfall is that the legs easily fall off when it tips over and I have to put it back together. Not a big deal! I plan on getting him the T-rex for Christmas this year!

        Amazing and scary
        This is a great toy I may take it from my son and put it in my office. It looks vicious, like it's going to walk over and bite at any second. fun to put together and solid as a rock. Cool wood, too. my son won't let it out his room. it took a while to put together but not too long.

          Addictive!
          I bought this game because I enjoy computer games and don't have a place to set up a traditional jigsaw puzzle. Now I'm hooked! The interface was easy to use. However, I didn't like the tray sorting system. If you're trigger happy with the mouse, your trays end up getting combined or dumped pretty easily. I ended up not using it. I was concerned that the exploration part would be kind of skimpy but was pleasantly surprised. There are more puzzles once you're inside the mansion as well as the mystery to solve. The graphics were very good. It was also neat to see the mansion from the inside and be able to identify features that you put together in the puzzle segment of the game. The attention to detail was great. I can't wait to do the Castle and Notre Dame!

          If You Love Jigsaw Puzzles...
          I have always loved jigsaw puzzles. But this is the first time I have ever put one together on a computer. Puzz 3D Orient Express has 4 difficulty levels, from easy to super-challenging. I started off on the third level which is the challenging level. That level is just as challenging as the 1000-peice puzzles you buy in the store. The only difference is this: once you put the puzzle together, the fun doesn't stop. The difficulty level you choose determines how much of the Orient Express you can explore. You get to meet all kinds of different people as well as learn about the history of the train. Plus, during the exploration phase, there are other games along the way as well as clues to a mystery guest who is supposed to board the train. I haven't finished the exploration portion yet, but I am already thinking about going back to rebuild the train at the super-challenging level. This way, I will have unlimited access to the entire train. This Puzzle is very addictive and fun.

          Highly recommended challenge, but frustrating
          The idea here is to give the user a virtual jigsaw puzzle building experience. The puzzle, when completed, is a three-dimensional reconstruction of the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris.

          In the beginning, the user chooses a difficulty level, which determines how many pieces the puzzle is broken into, as well as how the pieces are laid out on a semi-circular virtual table. Using the cursor and mouse, the user brings the pieces together, sorts them in areas of the table, and gradually constructs the cathedral. Visual clues are available, as well as views of the completed puzzle, from any angle.

          The level of difficulty chosen has another effect, in the type of payoff at the end. When the puzzle is completed, the user gets a tour of the cathedral, including historical trivia, on virtual placques, and ghosts, surprises, and a guide. However, the higher the level of difficulty chosen, the more access the user gets in the completed cathedral. More difficulty = more rooms, more secrets, more trivia.

          Oh, and by the way, the graphics are truly great here including clarity, color, and resolution, and the sound effects are pretty good, too.

          Notre Dame Cathedral Puzz 3-D

            Become a master builder and construct the Notre Dame piece by piece, inside and out. Puzz3-D Notre Dame Cathedral surrounds you with historical fact and fantasy as you erect this famous cathedral, from the most minute details of the rose windows to the more obvious external walls. Once finished, enter with your own personal key--your reward for a job well done--and discover the hidden secrets of Notre Dame. Four difficulty levels in this program provide progressively higher rewards for completion of the puzzle. The Easy level offers a 138-piece puzzle and a bronze key providing access to the first floor of the cathedral; the Super Challenging level presents 919 pieces and a platinum reward--the key to the most deeply hidden secrets of Notre Dame. At each level, after completing certain portions of the puzzle, you can view educational text and videos. Learn about many historical and architectural details of building the grand cathedral, such as constructing the flying buttresses, the challenge of incorporating so much glass into the design, and other trials of architect Maurice de Sully. Once you solve the 3-D puzzle, you take a similar tour of the inside of Notre Dame--with a twist. Within the historical explanation are not-so-hidden clues to a fictitious mystery involving the "spirits" of Notre Dame. The greatest enjoyment of the Puzz3-D Notre Dame Cathedral is the puzzle itself. Less successful is the attempt to creatively reveal the architectural and constructive history of the cathedral. The quality of the videos and sound clips is poor (even with a high-quality sound card, the ends of the last sentences in the sound bites are cut off, so that much of the historical information is lost). The reward of exploring the cathedral when you've completed the puzzle is inadequate, with inferior graphics and awkward directional controls. Stick to the puzzle challenge and you won't be disappointed. --Madeleine Miller

            Puzz 3D: The Orient Express

              You are sitting on a luxurious lapis-lazuli-blue settee, surrounded by mahogany paneling and delectable culinary treats, riding Europe's most exquisite long-distance passenger train. It is 1922, and 40 intriguing ticket holders have boarded the newly designed train, the Orient Express, for a historic, event-filled journey from Paris to (then-named) Constantinople, covering 1,980 miles in less than 80 hours.

              Before your elegant excursion, Puzz 3-D invites you to help construct this famous train. Taking on the project is hard work, but it comes with rewards. Orient Express begins with four puzzle levels: easy, average, challenging, and super challenging, each offering a different ticket status with the completion of the puzzle. Whichever level you choose to tackle, the pieces are laid out before you on a construction table complete with organization trays; snapshots of the finished Orient Express; historic sound, text, and video clips; and the optional timer.

              Once completed, you board the train as an invisible presence--perfect for giving you access to passengers' personal information. Your passage crosses European country after country (no border patrols yet!), but your sole landscape is the plush train interior and your exotic fellow travelers, including a flapper, an Egyptologist, a famous French movie star, and even a psychic. The famed Madame Sosotris, known for her clairvoyant powers (and the only one who can see you), invites you aboard to be "destiny's agent," affecting the outcome of this fateful ride. Information and character clips, as well as mahjong tiles (Sosotris's tools for her psychic powers), lead you to answer questions and puzzles regarding a few of the suspicious passengers.

              This 3-D puzzle provides hours of entertainment. The historical video segments and sound clips will help players glean a better understanding of the development of railroad travel, as well as its continuing allure outside the United States. In addition, the train itself has a story to tell. Orient Express takes advantage of its rich and mysterious past, making the CD-ROM much more than just a puzzle. --Madeleine Miller

                  looked fun, ended up being a disaster!!!
                  I ordered it because it looked really fun, and looked like a great display item! It was a disaster!! for one thing it took me 22 hours NON STOP to finish it, and after it was all finished(i followed the the directions to the letter) it looked like a 300 year old barn!!!!!! Everything was sagging, the pieces wouldn't fit,(all of the pieces mostly looked alike, so if you screwed up once the whole puzzle is ruined)!! It was stressing, and NOT fun!! DON'T BUY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                  missing pieces
                  I got this for christmas, because im an avid lotr fan. I love rohan and gondor, so i thought the puzzle would be cool. Its now march and im not done with it because i have at least twelve missing pieces. If it had all the pieces when i got it maybe i could finish it............but this is just to warn you, high risk of missing pieces.

                  Great puzzle
                  This was my first 3D puzzle and it was great. As a fan of LoTR I was especially motivated. It was equally challanging and motivating. It was a great experience. It took me some evenings to put it together.

                  And now I put all my LoRT figurines next to it.

                  Great puzzle and inspiration.

                    Armed with sharp teeth and powerful claws for dispatching its prey, the Velociraptor was a relatively small dinosaur that relied on its speed and dexterity to become a successful hunter. By assembling the 62 pieces in this wooden puzzle kit, you can create a scale replica of this prehistoric carnivore's skeleton. Made from Baltic birch, the interlocking pieces in this kit require no hardware or glue to assemble. An excellent exercise in shape recognition and spatial reasoning, assembling the puzzle requires patience and careful attention to detail and, possibly, the assistance of an adult. But the rewards are great as you transform a pile of scattered "bones" into an impressive model of a Velociraptor skeleton. Once the puzzle is assembled, you can leave it standing as a display piece, or disassemble it for future use. A wooden "rock hammer" and sandpaper have been included to aid in the assembly process, but you may pick up a few splinters putting this wooden puzzle together if you're not careful.

                    Excellent Kit
                    The kit took a little bit to put together since the pieces fit very tightly. Makes for a nice piece of decoration in my office.

                    Very cool
                    I bought a large Velociraptor and put it together with my daughter. While I have to admit the puzzle is more a 'guy' thing, it was fun to assemble and looks -very- cool in her bedroom.

                    I recommend thoroughly drying the pieces before assembly - they fit together with less effort that way.

                    All in all, this toy is very educational and matched amazon's review as being a good lesson in shape identification. But, being a big kid myself, I really like looking at the piece every day. It's as much art as it is a toy or puzzle.

                      Fun to look at- not to play with
                      This is a really cool example of a 3-d puzzle-- but it does have faults. It is not durable. Mine falls apart if you touch it. I didn't put it together quite how you were supposed to, which is another fault. Once you put together the puzzle, it is very hard to assemble the parts. The base is not stable, and it doesn't stand up on the bottom like the pic shows on the box. On the other hand, it looks really cool and stands about a foot and a half high. The sound system is great. To sum it up- if you don't need perfection and like either Star Wars or 3D puzzles to display (not play with!) then this is a great buy.
