Construction Tower Crane Electric RTR RC Review

My special needs son wanted this and he is just learning to be "kinder" to his toys. So seeing this crane that seemed cool to play with yet seemed like it would tip over and break easily, I wasn't sure if we should buy it or not. We bought it about a month ago now, and so far so good. It was very easy to put together, could be a bit more durable... maybe securely snap in rather then slide in; but it does its job and holds it in place. The base is steadier then other crane bases I have seen, the legs extend out a bit to help steady the crane. The truck that comes with is a bonus I feel as some crane's come solo. So its nice to have that truck to load things into. Being able to control the crane was the biggest thing my son wanted. He loves how it makes crane sounds, it turns 680 degrees, the hook can lower and rise and comes with the lifting bucket as well. It stands 30.5 inches high as stated by the company. Cranes need balance so it has its limits if lifting a heavier item - you will need to balance out the other side or I'm sure it will tip over. We have not had that problem. We added a little weight to that side, not much a pound or 2 at most depending on what he was doing. But, it has taught him more about balance to care for the toy. He enjoys moving his knex and lego parts around in it as "real construction" I certainly think it has an educational value there learning to balance and utilizing the crane to build his creations.

Erector Design Truck Radio Control H2 Review

This was purchased as a gift. After being put together the motor seemed unable to pull the weight of the H2. Was this a problem for anyone else? Such a disappointment after taking all the time to build it. Even though it didn't work as expected, it still was fun and educational to put together.

Erector Radio Control Tuning Street Racer Set, 368 Pieces Review

My son (11 1/2) just bought this with his own money and loves it. It's not one of those toys that goes together in a few minutes and they're done. He's great at tinkering and this has taken him days. And, yes, like the other reviews, it took a little dad help at some junctions. I am impressed that it is keeping my son's attention and he feels like he's accomplishing something. It would be quite the 8 year-old who could do this successfully without help. Solid toy, cool look, right in line with Erector's reputation. I will look for more toys like this.

Snap Circuits PRO SC-500 Review

Snap Circuits PRO SC-500
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I just played with this (Snap Circuits Junior) for the first time and came looking to buy one for my kids.
In response to the person who said the manuals have errors, see the web site http://www.snapcircuits.net/ (and also http://www.elenco.com/ as mentioned below.) In particular there is a page that gives corrections to all the manuals: http://www.snapcircuits.net/updates.doc .
Another concern I had is which kit to buy: Junior, Pro, etc.? On the snapcircuits web site they have a price list for replacement parts and upgrade kits. For the difference in price between the kits you can upgrade from one to the next so this takes some of the worry about of the purchase (for me at least). http://www.snapcircuits.net/scparts.pdf
