Best Toy Lately5
This is the best toy we have encountered in a long time. My son received it for his 5th birthday, and all the other toys have gotten tossed aside for this one. Even his classmates (he takes it - or parts of it - to show & tell every week), neighbors and friends are enthralled by this thing. Personally I don't like all the small detachable parts, but the kids LOVE the flexibility to create whatever their little minds can come up with.

This earns our household's vote for Toy Of The Year. We're buying it for all of our friends with kids. Add the stomp-on rocket coordinating piece, and grownups even get into the action!

great for siblings5
My 4 yr old son got this for his bday. He and his sister played for hours, without fighting! They took turns being the space shuttle and the ufo. We also have the Mega Rig construction set, which was a huge hit, but we have lost a few pieces. Now we can use some of these parts with our new set!

Five year old has eyes for nothing else5
My five year old absolutely adores this toy - he's usually very fickle with toys and doesn't stick with any one toy for very long, but this one has lasting power.

The frustration-free packaging was nice too (although with that packaging, it came *halfway* put together... but the instructions start at ground zero and aren't in color, so it was a little hard to figure out how to put the rest of it together).

It took him a while to figure out how to put the pieces together and pull them apart, but now he can do that, and he's *really* enjoying it. All-around great toy, to the point that I ended up getting him another mega rig set as well.
