Interlocking Building Playset Developmental Toddlers Reviews Summary

Quality and Design

Pros:

• "they seem to be of good quality and they fit together (and stay together) very well."
• "The blocks are all brightly colored, well made, and quite durable."
• "These Bristle Blocks are fun, sturdy (with a bit of bend), and stay together."
• "The actual pieces are very well made, slightly pliable plastic that doesn't really have any strong 'plastic smell'."
• "These are the real deal - well built, sturdy blocks that interconnect."
• "The blocks are great quality too."
• "High quality, safe, good colours etc."

Cons:

• "Even my 6-year old experienced some frustration in getting the wheels to stick to the other pieces."
• "I like these in theory, but they are difficult for my grandson to get to stick together without falling apart."
• "They stick together just fine but tend to fall part on larger creations unless you have them aligned perfectly."
• "Everything just falls apart, including the wheels that just will not stay on."
• "Bricks don't stuck firmly together so when my son tries to play with a train that I build for him it keeps falling into pieces."
• "These are not the quality of my old ones, disappointing to see some of the pegs are tilted and were not trimmed to look nice."
• "These bristle blocks are only frustrating. They don’t stay together unless all you want to do is stack them on their sides."

Value and Price

Pros:

• "This is such a great value! I was so excited to see these Bristle Blocks (128pcs)."
• "The bucket contains a lot of blocks which makes it a great value."
• "Money well spent."
• "The (sale) price was great given the number of pieces and bucket container."
• "Very cheap price considering the amount of building blocks you get."
• "Great price for the amount that you get."
• "This is one of those 'perfect in every way' toy sets."

Cons:

• "But it says you get 50 pieces and I got 40."
• "Only 43 pieces. Seriously!"
• "This product is meant to come with 12 wheels but it came with only 4, and one of them barely spins and also keeps coming apart."
• "At first you think Wow 50 pieces is a lot for my Daughter to play with but 12 pieces are the wheels so technically it's only 38, was rather disappointed 😞."
• "However there are few in the box really, and a couple of pieces appeared to be missing so we couldn't make some models."
• "50 pieces sounds like a lot, but so many were pretty small and I was very disappointed to find these blocks would not work with the original Bristle Blocks we had."
• "The first set we were sent had a torn label that was partially missing and taped back on, and dirt like substance in the plastic that sealed the container."

Storage and Portability

Pros:

• "Its a good size medium weight container."
• "Nice solid bucket of bristle blocks that won’t be outgrown quickly."
• "The bucket makes for easy clean up!"
• "The best part is clean up is easy because everything goes back in the tub!"
• "The storage bucket is a great idea, after playtime, the blocks can be stored in the bucket, and it comes with a beautiful handle."
• "I love that it comes with its own container for storage."
• "The added bonus is that all of it fits back into the bucket it came in for easy storage."

Cons:

• "The bucket is a little hard to open at first since the top is completely taped down."
• "The case is difficult to repack, so we just threw these into the big bin with the other blocks we already have."
• "It was a bit of a pain to put them back in the bucket."
• "The only [minor] disappointment is that the bucket is just barely big enough for the 128pc set and the lid can be hard to close if the pieces aren't placed in just right."
• "When new or full, the bucket is too heavy for the kids to lift."
• "Thankfully I will not need the container for storage as it is flimsy and the lid refuses to stay on."
• "However there are few in the box really, and a couple of pieces appeared to be missing so we couldn't make some models."
