A fine, versatile toy...but don't use the fish in water
By Jeff Potter
This is a great toy, like all Legos. The motor seems nicely versatile, usable in as many ways as a kid can think up.I'm writing this review because I note in the Amazon Editorial Review that the reviewer says "...and a fish (that really swims in water!) were just some of the things you can make."Because of this, we used our fish model in water and after a couple tries the motor became waterlogged and quit working. After a day of drying out, it started working again, thankfully.I just got an email from Lego Tech Support verifying that the motor should not be used in water.I had my suspicions because the User Manual has icons showing "no water" whenever they depict the fish but the Editorial Review here said you could. Only now do I realize (upon a second reading) that Amazon's blurb is not an official toy company description but just an Amazon in-house review perhaps.At any rate, don't put the motor in water.Have fun! : )

Invites creativity
By S. Stephens
My son is 8 years old and received this toy for Christmas last year when he was only 7. I ordered it from the Lego store in Florida as it was not in the stores, yet. He got the product to work as the walking on a tightrope thingy, but he did tell me that he had to modify one of the parts or replace it with a piece from another lego set. This was my first sign of pleasure from the toy because my son began to think out of the box and got it to work.Later, I would enter the house to find my precious artwork removed from the walls and replaced by string on the picture hangers and a new invention that was like a robotic spider. After, he completed the sugestions in the book, he was on to personal inventions with this robotic. The batteries are still operating nearly a year later with no replacement. He has made some of everything and now he thinks he is a master inventor. I'd say that makes this toy worth all 39.99 plus the effort to get the right item brought back from Florida.My son now notices parts from automobiles on the ground and can identify them as the brake shoe, etc. Lego is amazing and for any child that has the interest or tenacity to continue in this creative area, I'd say keep buying sets like these.

By C. Smith
This is my son's (age 5+) favorite Christmas gift this year. He plays with it for hours each day. The instructions are easy to follow for a child with patience and good fine motor skills. When he's not creating something from the instruction book, he's making his own "thing-a-mi-jig" and loves hooking the battery pack up to it to see what it will do. As the other reviewer noted, only six step-by-step designs are included in the instruction book. The other designs are suggested by various photos and angles to give the adventurous (me) a real challenge. I would buy it for a gift and I plan to buy other "Inventor" series LEGO products for my son.
