Great for kids or anyone who wants a supply of LEGO balls

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 April 2018

Verified Purchase

I’ll admit I bought this book in order to harvest the included LEGO parts. If you google “great ball contraption” you’ll find a plethora of LEGO machines whose sole purpose is the transportation of tiny balls from one module to the next. Being an avid fan of LEGO since childhood, I’ve long since dreamed of creating my own GBC. Official LEGO balls are (relatively) difficult and expensive to obtain but six are included here, together with another 33 LEGO elements, making this book relatively good value for money for the parts alone. As for the book, it contains blueprints for see-saws, dead falls and other simple contraptions. These can be combined so that each machine triggers the next in line, much like a Heath Robinson contraption. The author assumes the reader owns more LEGO than the handful of bricks supplied and also uses additional parts that make a LEGO purist like myself balk. Yet, as an introduction to using LEGO for engineering rather than model building this book is sure to spark the imagination.

Fantastic fun and educational

The media could not be loaded.

My son loves this product as he is crazy about physics and it was nice to be able to demonstrate it using legos.

Really loved this

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 January 2019

Verified Purchase

Great xmas present. Such a cheap way to do lego. We had lots of standard bricks so this just gives you the extra fancy ones with cardboard cut outs to make the marble runs. It was lots of fun and the easy to follow instructions were great for my 5 year old son. The instructions are in a sturdy wirebound book so haven't got torn/lost like many lego products. We did have to buy a few containers to keep the lego in as the plastic pouch is pretty disposable and you can't really keep it in there. But overall, we thoroughly enjoyed and would definitely recommend. I'd say for 5+

Fun idea, but too fiddly

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 September 2019

Verified Purchase

I really wanted to love this, but it has two major downfalls for us:
1. It requires a huge number of other lego blocks. We have quite a lot of lego, but apparently not nearly enough 2x8 bricks for this book.
2. It's just too fiddly for my son. He's aged nearly 4, big Lego enthusiast, but fine motor skills just not quite there for this book. Having said that, mine aren't either. You have to get each stage set up exactly right, and if something along the way is slightly awry, the whole thing fails to work. Woe betide you if you have an eager toddler watching too.
I'd suggest going for the Lego Gadgets book in the same series instead. It includes all the pieces you need, and is far less fiddly.

Fun for a while but need your own bricks!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 August 2020

Verified Purchase

I bought this for my son and we have spent quite a bit of time working on the various creations. I thought that the book was very well laid out and easy to follow. It comes with a selection of items but you will need to add bricks from your own Lego collection in order to complete the contraptions. We had a lot of fun doing this but my sons attention drifted by the mid point of the book and he hasn't revisited it since. I think he will, but it's one of those things that your kid will either fall in love with or only visit on a rainy day.

which was quite fun, he has not shown much interest in doing ...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 January 2018

Verified Purchase

My 7 year old loves Lego so I thought this would be something different. However, after doing the first 'machine' in the book, which was quite fun, he has not shown much interest in doing more. Some of the projects involve making dominoes out of Lego which is a bit dull, and not as interesting as the levers and balances I hope this would have more of. Nice idea but could do with more smaller projects he could do himself.

ideal present

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 November 2018

Verified Purchase

Ideal present - easy to make and lots of fun for techy minded kids. It is basically a series of small projects that link together to a larger 'Chain Reaction'.
Not all the pieces required are in this set - you need to use some other standard lego bricks as well - no problem for most moderm kids who have stacks of the stuff, but if you are buying this as a present and you are not sure whether they have any other lego then probably best go with one of the other similar Klutz sets that do not require existing lego.

Multiple of other Lego bricks needed to play in full

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 December 2020

Verified Purchase

Awesome for my 4 years old kid. Shame to find out that there is a large quantity of your own bricks needed to complete all chain reaction links. And most of needed are massive Lego bricks, like full height 8x2 and millions of 2x4. And it doesn't seem to be anything on the market (like bricks set to buy) to allow for the full, massive chain reaction.
