K'Nex 51438 TYPHOON FRENZY ROLLER COASTER BUILDING SET Building Kit , Gray

My first K'Nex building set and I have to say it is great. I build it on my YouTube channel if you want to see it in action (search for KTAF in google or on Youtube and you'll find Kid Toys Are Fun). A little bit more challenging to build than say a 649 piece LEGO model, but that makes it fun too. I would say a 9 year old could probably build it but might need a couple of minutes of help now and then. Once built it is great to turn on and just watch, repeat daily! The coaster runs down really smooth and fast, goes back up on the chain, it really is what you'd expect - great fun build and great fun motorized model. Takes a few hours if it is your first K'Nex build. It's big!

We are a big K’NEX fans in this house and my boys have been asking for a roller coaster set. Ages 12, 9 and 6. They needed a little help here and there. If you’ve never done a K’NEX set, it’s not as in depth of directions as Legos. A lot of it relies on looking at the picture and figuring it out. A few trial and errors but overall fun to put together. Most important thing it works great! It’s sturdy and the chain stays on with no problem. A couple reviews said that they were missing pieces, but we actually had a few pieces left over. So no issues with that! Would recommend.

Good

graphics could be much better and tracks very hard to put together

It works really well once completed. My son liked that it goes upside down. Would buy again.

No detailed instructions. Just pictures of sections put together. Difficult to tell actual color and often had to go back and substitute connectors as the picture did not show full connector shape. Some connections held together very tight and others would separate at slightest touch. I normally love putting together models but after 4 frustrating hours I trashed whole mess..

My three kids absolutely loved it. The complexity is just right and the little roller coaster cart does a good job rolling around.

An excellent building set for kids. K'NEX provides good services for their customers. I bought a K'NEX 2-in-1 Ferris Wheel building set earlier. One of the motors didn't work. I called the customer service and got the replacement part in one week. Highly recommended for middle school children and junior high teenagers.

Muy entretenido de momtar para los peques.... (siempre bajo supervisión de un adulto). La montaña rusa funciona genial ::::

Bonne idée cadeau pour les enfants amateurs de jeux de construction mais les rails ne tiennent pas bien et l'attraction n'est pas très solide. Mon fils de 10 ans n'en a pas profité bien longtemps malheureusement.

cool toy for young and older

I bought a Knex Typhoon Frenzy Roller Coaster for my son as a Christmas present. He was quite pleased when he opened the package and found the toy he was longing for for a while.The first disappointment came when he tried to switch the motor on and it did not want to work. He tried a couple of times, and sometimes it was running, other times it was not. Luckily, my husband could fix it by opening the case and seeing what the issue is.The second disappointment was when we found that some pieces (2 blue sticks) are missing from the package, so we could not build it completely.Finally, the quality of the green rails is very poor, they break very easily and then cannot be connected anymore.I paid over 50 euros for this toy and I found this overly expensive for such a poor quality product.Overall, we are very dissatisfied, but obviously as it was a surprise Christmas present for my son, I could not return it.I think it has a very good value in developing motoric skills and space vision of children, but the quality has to improve.

My 11 year old grandson built this quite quickly and has enjoyed playing with ItGood purchase for kids that like to build stuff
