(More customer reviews)While the cover has many animals displayed and there is a window on the box showing it to be chock full of building blocks and such, there aren't that many pieces in the box. At most they fill up 1/4 of the box and can make one animal shown on the cover and maybe another smaller creature.
When you open the box you'll find a clear plastic box filled with pieces that is glued to the box's window. The rest of the box is pretty empty. While I wasn't expecting to be able to make all the animals, I was hoping there'd be enough pieces for my sons to create figures and explore designs without having to destroy the one thing they just made.
There are some very specific pieces (elephant ears, trunk, eyeballs) but most of the pieces are large and generic. This works well with smaller sets such as Lego but sometimes makes it hard to find the right piece for what you want. As an example, there seems to be no good way to make feet and there is a design for a giraffe that uses a connector for a face that just looks awful.
We also have the smaller K'nex pieces and there is no way to interface the two as one can do with other construction sets.
Overall, the lack of pieces and the assortment limit what can be done with this set and stifle creativity.
