TOY : Erector Special Edition Multi Model Construction Set

If you are the one who grew up playing with an erector set, i suggest you to look at this new model because they're still just as cool as they were when you had one.

But the materials have actually been improved.

The straight peices are now completely flat, rather than the beveled sides they used to ship in the old sets. They're made of a more rigid metal as well. This allows for a little more flexability in what your kids can design and build.

Product Features
-Classic Erector® construction project with step by step, illustrated instructions
-Handy carrying case for easy storage
-643 Pieces, builds 25 models
-Equipped with a 6V motor

At first I thought the price was a little steep, but my 8 year old has easily gotten $100 worth of enjoyment out of this set. I actually ended up buying another set to ship to a relative for his upcoming birthday, so yes, you're getting what you pay for.

I grew up playing with the Erector sets of the 60s and 70s. As the other reviewer said, these new sets are an improvement. The models each take a few evenings to build (the pictured crane took my 7 year old and I three evenings to complete), but that is the beauty of the toy. It takes a while and it is a bit difficult to build the really cool stuff. What other toy teaches that lesson today?
